Dracula #8 When in doubt, zombies!

Alright, Night of the living shred!

 That sounds like an awesome 80's b-movie

 Kinda late for you to figure that out, Drac

Dracula takes off as a bat and if you're wondering why he didn't sooner, you also have to ask why he didn't grab a taxi out of London or just hide as one.

Look, I'm not questioning his/her/their gender, I'm just wondering about the name choice
 
Yes, they are THIS incompetent

I'm pretty sure  there are at least three pornos that beign this way

Quincey remembers he has a net he invented last issue, but the kids remember they have knives and cut right through it.  So, why didn't Quincey think Dracula might do that?

And then... I have no idea.  I think the writer wrote down a few notes of what could happen next and the artist drew all of them.  First, they turn out the lights.  Then they escape out the window.  Then only Rachel escapes outside.  Then she's inside and Clifton is there, having disappeared after Dracula smacked him, so he must have teleported.  Then she opens a door obviously leading inside and the children are there.

And then Quincey has Taj push his wheelchair around the children and they are all outside but the children aren't and apparently can't open doors now.

Yes, that happened.  No, I'm not going to make sense of it.

And now back to Dracula...

At this point, I'm pretty sure the writer just wants this issue to end as a) Dracula gets a blood transfusion, b) it takes about five minutes, c) the hypnotized children outrun a car, and d) Dracula demands a projector.  Is he going to teach math class?

And then Dracula is...here.

Wherever here is

And now he's talking to Sherlock Holmes
Oh no! They're useless! we're doomed...somehow

Why are these idiots saying there's nothing they can do about these kids?  Just drive.

 Curse you Dracula!  I'm too lazy to move, let alone do something. So I'll just blame you.

Also, I have no idea what this projector does or why this doctor invented it.

What a twist!

I bet these zombies and this secret last no longer than the next issue, given how much time was wasted in this one.

Uh, doctor?  you're supposed to make more sense, not less

And no, because the doctor created a zombie machine (I guess), now there are zombies.  

But enough of something cool finally, let's check in on our incompetent vampire hunters.

The kids pick up a rock and throw it, breaking the window so they reach in.  I don't remember Buffy being outsmarted by grade-schoolers.  But it's okay because... no, I did not make this up... they run away and then pass out because they hear a helicopter.

Piloted by Quincey's granddaughter.

How are you not going to permit him?  You just stood there and let him walk to the cemetery and use in and you stood there and watched instead of doing ANYTHING.

Beast from X-men in his early days didn't resonate well with audiences

I... have no idea anymore. I'd say this is like watching Yellow Submarine backwards, but I'm pretty sure that would make more sense than this.  My brain literally hurts trying to understand what's going on now.

What the hell is happening?

I think both the artist and writer simultaneously had a stroke.

Then they both turn into bats while Dracula holds the projector, which also shrank.  Logic left this comic about five pages ago.

Oh yeah, by the way, zombies

It's sad when three things are going on in the story and the undead make the most sense.

And then Dracula drops the projector, which breaks and all the cool zombies turn to dust.  What a lame cop-out.

Okay, that looks kinda metal, but it doesn't make up for cheating me out of zombies

And that's the end of the issue.  I haven't seen such bad advertising since Masters of the Universe Revelations.  At least that lady didn't make out with any of the zombies.
