4. Falconspeare by Warwick Johnson-Cadwell (characters created by Mike Mignola) - I was going to say that Mignola's art style has really grown on me, but then I looked at the credits page and he's mainly attributed as the guy who participated in writing a previous story and making up these characters. So he gets the name on the cover (also he's a bigger draw than Johnson-Cadwell who I just heard about). Still Johnson-Cadwell is very good at imitating Mignola's style with some personality of his own thrown in. The decapitation of a nosferatu at the beginning is very fun with all the blocky heads.
This is a simple story and it's pretty short. The vampire hunters receive notes from a long lost friend Falconspeare who tells his story about finding a lord who was not a vampire. He's just an asshole. An asshole with rich and powerful relatives who won't let the police investigate or arrest him.
So he becomes a vampire to kill him. Which is definitely a novel solution.
But that's really it. The artwork is great. The story is fun. I may forget about it years later. Hopefully one day I will read this blog and it will bring back a pleasant memory of this thing.
