The Concept: You've seen Dracula… but you've never seen him like this. Think Dracula: Impossible. Think Black Hawk Dracula. At 600 years old, Dracula controls blood so keenly that he can make almost anything his army needs. And he will rule the earth. But what happens when the King of Vampires faces the return of an even greater, older evil? What unholy alliance must Dracula form with Ronnie Van Helsing, the young leader of the massive agency known as the Polidorium?

This Issue: "The Elders," Part Three—SWORD OF DRACULA switches into manga- esque overdrive as the fallen angels Samyaza and Azazyel come gunning for Dracula in search of an ancient artifact and then turn their attention on Ronnie Van Helsing and the Polidorium. Vampires explode, Dracula surprises everyone with a new and nasty trick, angels scream and a new series is hinted at — all under the extreme hand of newcomer William Belk, whose Devilman-like art brings SWORD OF DRACULA a hard-edged manga style!
