The comic world always is filled with epic battles and grand scale events.

More times than I can count, characters have come back from the dead, traveled through time and fought either under circumstances or against opponents which boggle the mind.

Marvel’s most recent four-part series, Apocalypse vs. Dracula, is another example of this.

It seems the death of Apocalypse some time ago did not hold as few comic deaths do. But who would be a better opponent of one who is supposed to be dead than the king of the undead himself, Dracula.

The first part of the story leaves a lot open, which is nice, though the depiction of Apocalypse saving humanity instead of destroying it is a long stretch.

To imagine that an individual who has done nothing but try to bring about his namesake is now trying to stop it seems odd to me.

Regardless, Clay Henry’s art is simplistic but gets the point across and is pleasant with Wil Quintana’s vibrant colors.

It would seem Dracula is the most popular villain to fight throughout comic history, but it doesn’t mean that he produces a decent comic.

To me, this comic is as dead as the characters in it.
