BLOODRAYNE PRIME CUTS #1 (of 2)
by Chad Lambert, Chad Hardin, Jake Bilbao
Ever wonder what happened between the two groundbreaking BloodRayne video games? Prime Cuts offers two bloody tales that set the stage! First, the Cult of Kagan kidnaps a member of the Brimstone Society and guess who has to spring the trap? Next, a mysterious foe thought long-dead from the first game is back and he’s…robbing a convenience store?

DARK 48 #1 (of 2)
by Steven O’Connell, Daniel Indro, Joel Seguin
History will come to know it as DARK 48. It all started when a terrorist cell intercepted a designer Soviet plague - a virus genetically engineered to attack the Y Chromosome of males, inducing rage. In the ‘80s the Russians had hoped the Afghan rebels would turn on each other saving them lives and ammunition. Thankfully they never used it. An ex-Russian General brought it to the attention of the CDC. They confiscated it. The terror cell got wind of it and the rest is history. We follow an all-female strike team — Battle Corp Delta — whose mission is to traverse the contiguous lower 48 searching for survivors…and hopefully a cure. Written and created by original BloodRayne writer, Steven O’Connell.

Comicon’s: The Pulse has a great interview with Jason Henderson. In the interview Jason talks about his upcoming Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous edition, set to hit the spinner racks this Fall, plus a Lost Boys retrospective and how important it is to give blood!

THE PULSE: Speaking of Dracula, how did he come to meet Vampirella in the upcoming Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous?

HENDERSON: In this story, Ronnie Van Helsing is as usual the one who has most of the dealings with Dracula—Ronnie and Vampirella are competing for the same bounty, a vampire witness that Dracula has under protection. In this world, Dracula and the other Princes operate like Al Capone, occasionally having to move vampires under cover, fighting to steal them from one another if they possess valuable information.
