Comments: The artwork is lacking detail. It is not focused.
Doctor Van Helsing a vampire hunter is shown and he comes across as a lame hero for fighting vampires. The vampires themselves to not seem frightening at all.
The Artful Dodger has a unique way of fighting vampires to say the least. You will have to see it for yourselves.
Abraham Van Helsing is on the run from the vampires and he is helped by the Artful Dodger and a woman.
Carfax Abby is a nice imposing place. It would look better more defined in the illustrations.
That woman turns out to be a Princess.
So the story seems to be about Van Helsing, Dodger and the Princess fighting these vampires. What do the vampires want? That is a mystery.
The ending just ends in mid story. No warning it just stops.
The three main characters all have potential and hopefully in future issues we will see it come out.
