Publisher’s Blurb:
Created and written by Ian Brill, DRACULA WORLD ORDER tells the story of how the greatest villain of all, Count Dracula, takes advantage of a world on the brink of economic collapse. In a world where the top 1% of the population are vampires, the rest of the human race are prisoners…or the 1%’s next meal. Dracula’s own son Alexandru leads the 99% in rebellion against the Vampire elite – in a battle that will leave you breathless.

Gathering Tonci Zonjic (WHO IS JAKE ELLIS?), Rahsan Ekedal (ECHOES, SOLOMN KANE), Declan Shalvey (THUNDERBOLTS, 28 DAYS LATER), and Gabriel Hardman (HULK, BETRAYAL OF THE PLANET OF THE APES) to illustrate the origin of this adventure, DRACULA WORLD ORDER: THE BEGINNING is available at a select retailers and on comiXology.

The world still bleeds. The adventure continues.

Reviewer’s Comments:
When I saw the title of this comic I knew I had to read and I wasn’t disappointed. This is an excellent original story that has a new take on the myth the legend of Count Dracula and that’s why it’s a story that readers don’t want to miss.

The top 1% of the population of the world have been turned into vampires who make the rest of the human race their prisoners. An unexpected leader arises to bring the 99% out of bondage-Dracula’s own son Alexandru who never forgot what his father is.

The fight for freedom begins in these first four chapters as Alexandru teams up with the last vampire hunter Vincent Macready and another human who was transformed into a snake humanoid Pham Phoung Mai. The trio head to recruit another for their cause and run into Alexandru’s father whom Alexandru attacks ending the book with a cliffhanger.

Ian Brill’s writing is brilliant and he teams with amazing artists Tonci Zonjic (WHO IS JAKE ELLIS?), Rahsan Ekedal (ECHOES, SOLOMN KANE), Declan Shalvey (THUNDERBOLTS, 28 DAYS LATER), and Gabriel Hardman (HULK, BETRAYAL OF THE PLANET OF THE APES) to illustrate this origin story and they do an amazing job.

This story is magnificently written and and beautifully orchestrated visually from beginning to end. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I’m eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the story as the world continues to bleed.
