who's kaine?

also according to the interview, vampires are going to establish themselves, similar to the mutants, in the following months. so apparently this is a lot more than a one time thing.

I hear there is big change in the vampire ranks also. I'm guessing they gain the ability to walk in the sunlight.

I think marvel is going to set the rules for vampires for the first time. the interview stated that they're really going to define the sects and give them culture.

why dont they just stick with the classic design for dracula? the concept designs are horrible imo.

I've grown fond of Drac's look, and it would make no sense to make him have absolutely no resemblence to the Dracula they have out.

Poll: Who looks like a bigger douche bag?

A) Dracula
B) His son
C) The have both achieved unparalleled levels of douch'atude

Dracula should look like Bela Lugosi. This looks like Dracula was like a 90s Batman action figure where they needed to created 1000 different unique costumes for Dracula to wear, and this was the very last one in the cease pool of "creativity." I particularly don't like the scenester stretched out earlobe piercings.

I'm gonna say C) That's my final answer.

They should stick with the classic Dracula look. I got to quite liking the character when he nearly beat Apocalypse.

Those designs are stupid though. Totally unnecessary.

Didn't Apocalypse end Drac? How did he come back?

I actaully this the new design for Drac as for his son he looks like he's been watching twilight.

I thought the son of dracula was called Alucard, which is dracula backwards

Everywhere you go these days it's vampires, thanks to Twilight & True Blood.
When did Dracula get crossed with Omega Red, by the way?

dracula only defeated apocalypse when apoc was awakened early and was also weakened by draculas bite. apoc would have won if it werent for drac being able to control him imo.


and question, are they going to establish a race of vampires in marvel?

yea, that's what they appear to be doing, for the first time they're establishing the various sects of vampires in the marvel universe, according to the interviews the x-men is only one step, soon they'll be in the avengers and other books too.

There are vampires in Marvel. You may have heard of a character named Blade.

Marvel is finally making the decision and establishing a status quo.

Cept with Twilight its all mushy and shit. marvel vampires have no parallels with twilight and other pop fiction vampires...save for being called vampires.
