The epic meeting between the Prince of Darkness and the Blood Queen continues! When Dracula and Elizabeth come face to face, sparks (and quite possibly, blood) will fly. With their common enemy rising from the Ottoman Empire, will they put aside their differences to fight back, or will they be consumed by their own war? It's two classic characters in one bold new series from Dynamite!
Though I went into this book as a Blood Queen fan, I'm definitely becoming a fan of this interpretation of Dracula as well. He's definitely the right kind of character to bring balance to what Elizabeth offers and can serve as both a wall to her ambitions, forcing her to become something more to overcome them, while also providing a real frustration for him that's outside of the Ottomans and what they're doing. The book moves their stories forward having now met and shown just what it is each is capable of, but we also see the start of what the Ottoman wizards will be cooking up to try and deal with both of them, knowing the threat and obstacle they represent. It's a solid book all around with some sharp dialogue and really solid artwork to bring it all together in an engaging way. Read Full Review
This series still has its flaws but it is at least proceeding in a direction which is more true to both characters. The first issue might have left readers thinking that the series should be called “Blood Queen Marries Dracula”, but this issue puts the “versus” back into it, and in a dramatic enough fashion. This series and this issue still have some problems, but at least it seems to be headed in a better direction after this second issue. Read Full Review
