Sweet, sweet half-vampire detective on dinosaur witch ghost action can’t be far behind. I never knew I needed it until now.

Don’t sell yourselves short, fellas. It’s also a potential Pulitzer, Booker, and Nobel* winner, and that’s before we start talking adaptations!

I was feeling kinda dissapointed while starting to read this. It seemed awesome enough, but maybe I had overhyped it, or something? I dunno…
And then I got to page 4.

Very well done. It was like you took several different directions in the book but still keep it in line with the plot. Looking forward to the next issue.
