Jason Henderson (Sword of Dracula) created a new blog focusing on everything Dracula. Check it out at blogofdracula.blogspot.com

Speaking of Sword of Dracula, this month should see the debut of the all-new 3-issue mini-series. Look for it something at the end of this month or beginning of February. Just a small reminder; purchase the comics as we’re not sure there will be a trade paperback collection.

Sword of Dracula is back in an all-new mini-series. Originally solicited as a 2-issue run, we’ve upped it one issue because two is not enough.

Sword of Dracula: The Dracula War #2 (of 3)
by Jason Henderson, Greg Scott, Digikore, Ed Dukeshire, cover by Rich Pellegrino

The year’s most exciting vampire comic continues: The King of Vampires and the world’s most dangerous terrorist, Dracula, has taken over a major international airport. All entrances are blocked. Thousands are dead. Now it’s all-out war as Ronnie Van Helsing leads UN-backed commando force the Polidorium into the vampires’ lair. But Dracula has greater plans than he is letting on– as the clock ticks down on doomsday.

Look for it in better comic shops March 2009

The Drac Pack is Back!

Longtime visitors to The Comic Fanatic.Com are well aware that I am a huge fan of Jason Henderson’s Sword of Dracula. Henderson’s new spin on the classic Count Dracula has been the most original look at the Lord of the Vampires since Stoker put pen to paper all those years ago. And this is a premise that I would love to see on the spinner racks on a monthly basis. So I eagerly await and take whatever Sword of Dracula goodness that I can get. The latest morsel? Sword of Dracula/Vampirella.

Rating: 7/10

While Vampirella has been a mainstay and an icon in the comics industry for decades, Sword of Dracula is a newer property, having been published by Image and IDW before landing at Digital Webbing. I’m not sure if I’ve read any SoD comics before, and I certain didn’t recognize much here. The good news is that this is an accessible introduction to the concept, which is sort of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Mission Impossible. The better news is that SoD creators Jason Henderson and Greg Scott handle Vampirella incredibly well. She’s not depicted as a blood-sucking sexpot heroine in this story; instead, she’s a rogue agent in a supernatural underworld of crime, commerce and curses.

Collaboration on comic makes for great read
Sunday, February 17, 2008

Most of the time when two comic book companies cross over their characters the result is a forgettable cliche. The two heroes fight each other over mistaken identities then realize the error and team up to take on the real bad guy.

“Sword of Dracula/ Vampirella” is a rare exception to that.

It shouldn’t work but is does.

Published by Digital Webbing, “Sword of Dracula/Vampirella” is a good-looking book that is a great read.
