Comments: This is a sixteen-page preview. It is 1442, and Vlad’s forces attack. They are driven, and Vlad does have a reason for invading this castle. The art is detailed, and the period drawings are perfectly done.

In the castle, Vlad finds Lord Morgana, and she is a fierce fighter. Vlad is lucky to have such a loyal man as Radu in his service.

Here we see the origin of Dracula, and it is not what you expect. It mixes parts of the real-life Vlad with the mythical Dracula.

The art, as we see Vlad transform, is horrific. Vlad becomes a creature of evil. You will feel his need and his fury. He is now a monster.

This preview delivers a great introduction to who Vlad is. It does not give any indication of what is next. Will the story jump to the present? Will it tell stories that show how he became the creature he is in the present?

Vlad is a character from myth, and here we see him come to unlife. He transforms from a man into a creature, and one that seems insanely dangerous. Vlad is out for blood.
