The Prince of Darkness clashes with Elizabeth Bathory in this explosive new mini-series! Dracula returns from war to face a potential threat in the form of the Blood Queen. Whether they become allies or adversaries, there will be blood!
I've missed the Blood Queen series since it ended, so I was really glad to see that she's back in this form. A four issue miniseries that pits her against Dracula definitely has its appeal since both are very strong characters in different but similar ways. A lot of what we get here is establishing material, first with seeing how things work in Dracula's camp and then looking at the rumors and whispers that have grown over the Blood Queen and what she's doing in her territory. Getting an up close and personal look at it helps to shake off some of the legends to be sure, but Dracula is also starting to realize that there's a lot more going on than he's aware of. With a thrill that he's not felt in years, almost drunk on power, seeing how the dynamic between the two will unfold has me quite excited to see what comes next. Read Full Review
The Blood Queen vs. Dracula #1 is a fitting start to something that should excite readers out there. And I for one can't wait to see where this creative team goes with this most assuredly dynamite crossover. Recommended. Read Full Review

This first issue is a strong start.It is fast moving and carries the reader long. It will be very interesting to see where this creative team takes the story. Read Full Review
The story is not entirely bad, but for those that were expecting more of the Blood Queen will be disappointed. The character is changed enough to fit her into the story that what made her novel, instead now makes her mundane. Without the richer fairy tale setting, the story reads as just another fantasy story with supernatural players. That being said, it is not as though this story is bad, in fact it does read easily enough and it is entertaining, just it is the same as so much as which has come before. Read Full Review
Overall, Brownfield and Baal deliver a decent first issue; it gives readers everything they could ask for. Fans of Dracula should enjoy the story and will hopefully check out the rest of the series. Read Full Review
Overall, the concept of the book has potential, but the first issue doesn't do enough to capture the reader's full attention. Read Full Review
