The vampire epic, which began with the entire country in the hands of mindless blood- starved undead, climaxes with revelations about the cure for vampirism—which in this case is definitely worse than the disease. The plot to suppress the cure and keep America on its knees comes to light, and the biggest threat—that of human betrayal—is amplified with a terrible vampire transformation.

• Andrew Cosby of UPN’s Haunted fame, and comics’ rising star J. Alexander (Queen and Country, Tales of the Vampires) conclude the great American bloodbath.
