Awh, gosh darn. Alex, while I appreciate that you love this comic more than I do… I’m going to have to kill you.
But don’t worry, nothing personal.
I just want the first comment.
=D
where does Schaemiac come from?
And why are they sitting in a tree instead of flying away? resting or too many zombies around and Dev can’t carry Mac far enough?
I do like the crowd of zombies underneath them as they casually are talking.
Love this page. I admit I was wondering where those two were.
And the situation is even more perfect. If he ever leaves that tree he is sooooo dead whereas she can leave at any time and easily avoid the zombie horde.
This will make a beautiful shot in the movie too. Start with a closeup and gradually pull back to near or mid-distance. Any lover of zombie movies will love the instant cliche of the image.
And he’s even got his axe.
Getting that high up must have been tricky. She probably was holding his belt most of the way up to give him a boost. Pity she isn’t strong enough to lift him completely off the ground.
Good to know that zombies is too stupid to figure out how to get him out of that tree unless TFZ is giving them orders. Unless maybe TFZ is stopping them from doing that for some reason?
Hmmm…
Got a question for the author if he doesn’t mind. Is the phone system at all intact? TFZ talking to someone at the school over a phone or radio link might be just his style. And would make for quite an amusing image…
that last panel is awesome, the whole page is pretty funny, the way they are casually having this conversation, meanwhile hundreds of zombies gather below…
interesting bit of background there .. she might need a really big …meal.. to get him back to the school ..or is it start up high and glide to the next spot climb really high again and glide …etc .. oh wait ..there are no trees that i could see nm lol … perhaps the telephone wires with her holding him up for balance ..
I am terrified of heights but between being way up high and on the ground where there are scores of Zombies surrounding me… Um… tree please! XD I’d just be clinging to the vampire for dear life…
I love the was you say ages like “years” or “eons.” Almost made me forget that it’s only been a month since it all began.
2 questions though.
1. How high up in that tree are they to stop triggering zombie eating responses? Or do your zombies not have single-minded pursuit of prey? I guess I pictured they would trample and climb on each to get at food.
2. How freaking much hairspray did Devian use to get her hair to stay like that after all that flying?
The art is amazing and the story line is genious, I’m only sorry that it’s not humanly possible to make two hundred pages a week or go without water for more than three days, because if those two requirements were met, I’d never leave my computer.
When you mean end if the comic doesn’t pick up steam do you mean just cut off in the middle of the story? Or just go online only? Since this is going to be a movie (IIRC) then I’m assuming you have the whole screenplay worked out (or at least know the whole story), am I even close with any of these?
well, your reference made me laugh. perhaps it is just me, but did you notice that both bulgaria and haiti share the same slogan? Linking the supposed home of the true vampires (the capartian mountains) to the home of the zombies…..
also, did you know that people with red hair or people talking to themself are according to bulgarian folklore very easy to become vampires?
have fun googling it.
well, the thing with schaemiac….. it made me think for a while. perhaps it is just me, but I am almost sure that that payne-dude coined that name. it just feels right to assume that mister payne is an older vampire. maybe mister payne gets his virgins by offering to show them his DNA-collection…
if my assumption is correct, a great way of bringing us nearer to the final mistery of how vampires work. If you assume some pasic principles behind this vampire-sceme(even I cannot fully understand how you would explain the ability to fly with something biological), it seems almost convincing. a heart just beats if it is supplied with enough blood. If the infusion of fresh blood is stopped, it sure as hell will stop beating too. or, to say it in an easier way: if energy has to be generated, there has to be some energy invested. Now, if that energy misses, the heart cannot generate that kind of energy, thus the heart stops and the body dies, while the paient is basically in best condition.
Also, the comic is great. But I would have imagined it a bit different. I would have placed a reference to george a romero in there. You know, in the movie, just after that scene, when the last sentence is spoken, the camera scrolls downwards, you see the zombies walking, then the voice of mac:
when there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
asian vampire:
*huggles closer to mac*
we are all at his mercy now.
zombies:
Moan
the reason why they are up a tree?
well, you can rest there, if something dirty happens, she can leave him up there, and the zombies, as far as all legends and films go, do not think 3 dimensional. Zombies never climb, except in shitty italian productions.
and, it offers an excellent strategy:
both of them rest right now, maybe the asian vampire enjoys a bit of a fluffy mac-cushion. it would not be wise to run at night with no light, because someone is gonna get hurt.
now, at day, the zombies should have amassed around the tree. (good chance of playing hollywood squares, by the way….)now, if they have a free line of flight in one direction, the asian vampire grabs mac, goes into sliding flight over th heads of the zombies, mac hits the ground and starts running, and both of them have the entire crowd behind them. if they are rested and healthy, it should proove a good alternative to just sitting and dying.
OOh, and if you think they just are out of the reach of the zombie-senses, look again. some of then are looking upwards.
*thinks*
would make a good runaway plan if the zombies were behind human flesh. The ladyvampire grabs a slender human kid, flies low with him, and places him somewhere, so that all the zombies are going to see him. now, if the zombies look the other way, it should be easy for the humans to escape.
well, since you had problems understanding my train of thoughts, I better stop here, and just let you do your work.
Baltazaar from germany, who still roots for the Zombies, and finds that since math and val already have gotten booty, nothing speaks against the asian lady vampire having a little mac-nightmeal….
If they can dig as well as they obviously can they could certainly knock that tree over. Might take them a while if they are having to think for themselves, but they should be able to work something out.
If it were this easy to get away from the horde there would be more survivors.
I think TFZ is letting them live for some reason. For now at least…
Getting a ‘running’ start with a flying assisst might or might not work. Even then he might not be able to run far enough. He will get tired after a couple miles and the zombies won’t.
Since the two of them were just in the middle of a large town/ small city there could easily be a couple hundred (or more!) zombies hovering around the area because of the smell of fresh food.
Devian is good, but by herself she isn’t enough to get him to safety unless they get very lucky. Even then they are going to have a couple hundred (or more) zombies trying to follow them.
As to the mystery of why vampires work – Payne might know. Anyone else is just guessing. Whatever it is that is powering vamps can’t be purely biological if it can develop into TFZ’s telepathy. Or allow Devian to fly with little or no apparent effort.
Kind of makes me wonder what other abilities have shown up in Vamp history. Guess we have to wait until the plane crash to find out…
I don’t mean climb in the literal sense, I mean climb in the sense of the overwhelming crash of zombies against the treebase will knock some of them down to be trod upon by the others. over time, this will slowly create a ramp of immobile zombie bodies that functional zombies would walk up like a hill. A hill of corpses.
You’re right. I didn’t notice the zombies pointing/reaching for them.
Neca, I live for anime, but I thought Devian was chinese.
Bobby…I had no plans to comment but…I wanted to say the following.
I am *really* enjoying your comic. I read about it on Sensibleerection…and wait for the new pages to show up on the net.
I felt for you…with people arguing inane points that do not matter, or going off onto tangents that go nowhere near reality.
I see that you get upset…I’ve been in your position in a different venue…and the politics of it all simply sucks. I found out the hard way it’s easier to let a person shoot themselves in the foot and be above it all…than to lower myself to their level.
Your comic, the storytelling and illustration is great! You are talented! People who are hung up on factual details in a fiction story aboutt vamipres and zombies…have IQ issues…something you *obviously* don’t have a problem with.
Omg omg omg Devian would need to take blood from Mac and then they would make sweet sweet necrophiliac love and have awesome head-chopping, flying, half white, half azn, half living, half dead babehz!!!!!!!
SQUEEEEEE XD
Props to you Bobby, this just keeps getting better and better.
Here’s how I’d like to see this one play out: Dev flies to a distance outside of the zombie crowd, spends some time killing a few hundred, comes back to rest, repeat. Eventually, create a giant wall (ala 300) of zombie bodies surrounding the hoardes, fly Mac to the other side of that wall, high-tail it outta there.
‘Course, this doesn’t account for any other zombies outside of that wall wandering around, but dammit, I’m just DYING to see a wall built out of zombie bodies…
You are talented! People who are hung up on factual details in a fiction story aboutt vamipres and zombies…have IQ issues…something you *obviously* don’t have a problem with.
^^Can you say “blind loyalty” kids? See, for fiction to work, you need to have something called suspension of disbelief. Basically, fictional and fantastic events still need to make sense within the limitations of the reality their placed, even though we know they aren’t real. The ease and quickness in which the entire human race was destroyed, bar none, with no exceptions besides for the school, just doesn’t make sense. TFZ is just too all-powerful, and any logical complaint raised against the backstory of the comic is shot down with a long and often insulting reply from Mr. Crosby, which usually can be summed up as “He is TFZ so he can do that.”
In short, good fiction needs to be believable, which Last Blood, in my and other’s opinions, is not.
Kaptain Kwanzaa, to put it very simply and 100% accurately: You have no brain in your fucking head if you think that the blocks and steals records on the wall of the school ruins the “suspension of disbelief” in this story. None. Just no brain. It’s a 100% fact that it’s at least possible that they could have accurate records on such a thing, for the million reasons I listed before, but even if they didn’t, at the most one out of every 300 or so readers would have ANY CLUE that blocks and steals weren’t commonly recorded back then, and even for THOSE people, it’s about the most minor thing possible for the story, so it doesn’t ruin their suspension of disbelief either. This is similar to if I got it wrong on some can of food. For example, if we have some flashback to the ’30s and we’re seeing people eat a can of beans with a brand name on there that someone searches for and discovers wasn’t actually produced until the ’50s. That would ruin your suspension of disbelief in the story? If so, once again, you have no brain in your head. But that example would be even worse than the blocks and steals thing, since OBVIOUSLY the blocks and steals thing is possible.
“The ease and quickness in which the entire human race was destroyed, bar none, with no exceptions besides for the school, just doesn’t make sense.”
It only doesn’t make sense for people with no brain in their head, like you. I’ve explained it a trillion times. Also, besides for the school? Huh??? Have you somehow missed all the parts where I’ve explained and where the story itself just strongly hinted at that The First Zombie came from this town and is obviously choosing to keep them alive? Devian just said that he’s keeping this one town alive to set a trap for the rest of the vampires. You’re just one of these morons who thinks that it’s impossible for billions of zombies (led by a great military mind who controls them all) to kill everyone on Earth, because you refuse to believe your planet would be taken over by anything, because you’re retarded.
Bobby, Kaptain Kwanzaa obviously has a captive zombie in his basement which he has done extensive research on and knows exactly how it would react and how long it would take if given the chance to dominate the human race…
OK so this is your story and the zombies can do whatever the hell you want them to. I wish people would just get that and enjoy the story. There is no point in trying to have a logical debate about how zombies would proceed to take over the human race…
no way, you guys. Kaptain Kwanzaa IS a captive zombie! duh! Bobby knows how to pick ‘em out. Didn’t you catch the “Just no brain” comment? Come on, he’s giving away more easter eggs behind the story. Kaptain Kwanzaa could even be TFZ, and is trying to make us all disbelieve in him… like that story about the devil, or Keysar Soze.
Damn, he’s good. I mean for having no brain, of course. Still loving it, Bobby. Got my first two copies last week, I can’t really bring myself to take them out of the plastic wrap and touch ‘em with my own hands. Call me weird, but I can’t.
if i remember from english clasa there was once a play wrighter who did this same thang in quite a few difrent plays, the whole putting something in that did not exist. the plays were still quite good and it never took away from his story. he also became very famous to, his name William Shakespeare. if you dont belive me read Julius Caesar at the time this play took place there were several inventions that were refrenced that did not exist for the time period but were used becaause they helped tell the story better. if you dont belive me take a look and read it, it is still a great play even if you dont find what parts i am talking about try another one like romeo and juliet the list of his plays that he did this with is quite long. so what i am saying is that just because it may or may not have existed or been recorded in this case how many people even the ones who know their history are going to say “that runins the whole story for me becaus that could be incorect because it was not officialy tracked and recorded till many years later because only officials say what to track and what not to” but come on this is a great story why should one little thing that all the writer is trying to get across is this guy was good at basketball runin it for you. just read and enjoy a great story. remember this story is all a work of fiction and can be twisted to what ever the writer wants it to be. also insted of him just telling you this he has insted given a very good explanation to severl things that he could of said well it is just fiction.
oh and i forgot if you dont like the story so much and just cant belive it then why are you still reading it and making such a big deal out of something so small?
“Did thne Kaptain actually mention blocks and steals in his post.
And I’m pretty sujre you can’t have a 100% fact of something being possible.”
LOL, add this moron to the list of people with no brain in their head. How the fuck can it not be possible to have a 100% fact that’s something possible? You’re saying that I can’t say that it’s a 100% fact that it’s possible that you’ll die today? Why can’t I do that? You’re making no sense. And who the fuck cares if Kaptain mentioned blocks and steals or not??? He quoted someone talking about the fucking blocks and steals stats and then he responded by saying that this comic doesn’t have any suspension of disbelief. Who the fuck cares if he also mentions other wrong shit?
Oh geeze again with the steals argument? I never would have known that they probably didn’t record that sort of thing until I read the comments… and quite frankly it doesn’t matter! It’s barely relevant at all to the story except that it seems to have officially revealed TFZ’s name. It’s an awesome and, in my opinion, very unique storyline. Scary too… the bugger managed to give me a nightmare! But then I’m also a wuss when it comes to zombies so…
Man, if these people think one anachorism, even a logical one, ruins a whole story they obviously aren’t friends of Shakespeare. I think someone pointed that out before me, but it’s all over the place with him.
I wonder if the Kaptin ever bothered reading all the comments before, you’ve said literally hundreds of times that most of the backstory concerning The First Zombie and his rise to power is part of the story later. It’s only 66 pages in, is he seriously expecting every detail to be thrown out there already?
Ah well, seems kind of weird to me people are nitpicking facts trying to say they ruin the believeabilty of a zombie/vampire story. Which, so far, has been great Bobby. I follow Marry Me and +EV too, but I think Last Blood might be my favorite out of the three.
quick question what is the incubation period for this virus? cause it appears to be less then 6 hours. even then try to imagine the effect of having a zombie onboard a comercial airliner. no way that plane is getting to europe and even if they did a massive walk along the ocean floor like in the first comic it would take a couple of months.
speed of transport is only an issue if the effects are not instantly dramatically aparent we have a kid zombified in the school within minutes of the attack and your trying to convince me that people happilly let somone like this on a plane or train or boat.
as long as its not airborn with an incubation period there is no way transportation can bring about worldwide infection on an uncontrolable level in a day.
second and very important fact america is not the world if it is covered in infected it doesnt mean the rest of the world is.
untill i see some zombies driving trucks flying airplanes or just handeling anything more complex then a club i cant buy what you seem to be trying to sell me here
peadar, you have no fucking brain in your head and you haven’t read any of my comments apparently, or comprehended them.
“wtf? the war was lost on the first day???????”
Meaning there was no chance of victory after the events of the first day obviously, not meaning that almost everyone in the world actually died on the first day.
“quick question what is the incubation period for this virus?”
I’ve said somewhere around 2,000 times — it’s 24 hours. And now you’re going to make me repeat a ton more shit.
“cause it appears to be less then 6 hours.”
Huh? Why the fuck would that be?
“even then try to imagine the effect of having a zombie onboard a comercial airliner. no way that plane is getting to europe”
Read through the fucking comments before making a comment like this, moron. I’ve explained this many times. When you get bitten, but those bites/injuries wouldn’t normally be fatal, you have 24 hours until you turn into a zombie, and in those 24 hours you just get gradually sicker and sicker, and in the first 12 hours or so of that you could look fairly normal, maybe just sweating a bit, like you have a fever. That’s the 100th time I’ve said this.
“speed of transport is only an issue if the effects are not instantly dramatically aparent we have a kid zombified in the school within minutes of the attack and your trying to convince me that people happilly let somone like this on a plane or train or boat.”
The kid was KILLED INSTANTLY. If you’ve been bitten by a zombie and you DIE from your bites/injuries, you INSTANTLY become a zombie. That obviously wasn’t the case, though, for the airline travelers on the first day.
“as long as its not airborn with an incubation period there is no way transportation can bring about worldwide infection on an uncontrolable level in a day.”
Again, you have no brain.
“second and very important fact america is not the world if it is covered in infected it doesnt mean the rest of the world is.”
What the fuck is your point?
“untill i see some zombies driving trucks flying airplanes or just handeling anything more complex then a club i cant buy what you seem to be trying to sell me here”
Again you prove that you haven’t read the comments at all, since we had a long discussion about zombies flying planes before, which you’ll see them doing later on — The First Zombie at least, who was a pilot in World War II and who controls all the other zombies with his mind.
Bobby, SERIOUSLY, not everyone reads the comments. Some people jump on late, others just skip over them. In any event, these are people that took the time to read your stuff, meaning they are fans on some level. Don’t let the few argumentative ones bait you.
While I personally have some doubts about *everyone* else being dead, the sad fact of this universe is that the only way they could stop the zombie horde is to find TFZ and kill him. Which is probably how they stopped the last one Dev mentions in the strip above.
The initial cycle is pretty simple. TFZ bites someone to traqnsfer the infection then kills them – whereupon they almost instantly rise as a zombie much like the little kid a few panels back. TFZ does his mind-mojo on the victim to implant a few basic rules of conduct (avoid capture, bite somone at least once an hour, kill the bite victim immediately if possible, leave the area if you smell other zombies, etc) and he could easily have most of a major metropolis converted in 24 hours.
Assuming other sets of orders for those boarding planes to other continents emphasizing stealth and you could have your zombie agents spreading worldwide as fast as the planes could carry them. If the zombie gets detected, it just acts sick until the plane lands and them it starts biting people.
Heck, anyone who plays modern computer strategy games could come up with half decent rules for the zombies to use that would insure their spread worldwide. TFZ had genuine military training and what looks like several weeks walking across the ocean floor to work the kinks out.
He could do it. The only ones that would know how to stop TFZ would be the vampires, and we have already seen that TFZ is good enough at hiding his scent to be watching Math from the bushes while he and the nice teacher lady were out by the swings.
He could do it. Maybe not as quickly as shown in the story, but unless the vamps got him that first day the human race is toast.
From the top then :
Yes you can say its a 100% fact that something is possible, my point is it doesn’t mean anything. Anything is possible, saying that its a 100 % fact that anything is possible is superfulous. Yes its a 100 % fact that its possible I might die today, its also possible your really President Bush writing this as a hobby ( in which case Mr. President how about doing something about Global Warming). Anything is possible itsthe degree of probability that matters.
If the Zombie vuirus takes 24 hours to kill but shows sickness after 12 then worldwide infection seems unlikely. A guy has to bit who is about to travel, then he has to go to the airport, wait, board a flight, travel and arrive and go through customs all before appearing sick. (

Sorry out of space.
And this has to ahppen in EVERY country in the world in the first day.
Granted if zombies can fly planes then all bets are off. Hell TFZ can have ‘em parachute into uninfected countries if he wants.
Lo, a reasoned argument without calling anyone a fucking moron, it is possible.
That’s my whole point, Dave: reasoned argument is the way to go. Bobby, I totally get how infuriating it must be to have people question something you’ve obviously invested a lot of time, intellectual capital and love into. That said, you never know how old the commentators are, maturity level, etc. The fact that you made this amazing tale up means you are capable of a reasonable argument. A 14 yr. old probably isn’t. I used to be a litigator and it is STUNNING how often experienced lawyers get caught up in irrelevant minutia. I just ignore it and focus on the important stuff. My suggestion: don’t spend much (any?) time commenting to people who piss you off. As for those people who forget things, try to remember that you know all the details, while we read you once a week. We are bound to forget stuff. And the argumentative ones, well, if your story troubles them so, perhaps they shouldn’t come back. Asking a question once is OK, but hostile threads are quite another.
Not to overstep my boundaries here. Bobby, you know what to say to me if I do.
IT’S A FUCKING WORK OF FICTION! BOBBY IS GOD(within the confines of the story)! MAYBE IN THE REAL WORLD NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE, BUT WE AREN’T DEALING WITH THE REAL WORLD! IT’S BOBBY’S WORLD(loved that cartoon) AND HIS RULES. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE “LOGIC ISSUE” AND ACCEPT THIS IS HOW IT IS.
Who cares if TFZ could do what he did? HE FUCKING DID IT, DIDN”T HE?
Did anyone keep track of blocks and steals in the 30’s? WELL, SOMEONE MUST HAVE, OR WHY IS IT ON THE DAMN BOARD?
If Devian winds up in a schoolgirl’s outfit(hint, hint, Bobby), will a giant tentacle monster burst from the ground and rape her? PROBABLY NOT IN THIS COMIC!
Bobby, you’re a genius. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.
Bobby instead of complaining, as has been suggested before you should make a simply FAQ page and add a link on the top of the comic page. Put the most common questions and answers there.
“Bobby, SERIOUSLY, not everyone reads the comments. Some people jump on late, others just skip over them.”
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? I’m not even going to bother explaining to you why that’s retarded and makes no sense for this situation. You’re too stupid to understand it.
“Don’t let the few argumentative ones bait you.”
Never again tell me what to do. You’re banned.
“the sad fact of this universe is that the only way they could stop the zombie horde is to find TFZ and kill him.”
No, that actually would hurt their cause in this case. TFZ is the only thing keeping them all from being dead right now. The only way killing TFZ would have helped them is if they did it weeks ago.
“Which is probably how they stopped the last one Dev mentions in the strip above.”
Incorrect, as you’ll discover later.
“If the zombie gets detected, it just acts sick until the plane lands and them it starts biting people.”
And I thought you were someone who had read all my explanations before. Anyway, it’s extremely easy to just scrape your teeth against someone’s skin and give them a tiny little cut, right before they’re about to board those international flights, as I’ve said many times before. They’d have 24 hours until they turn into a zombie and TFZ wouldn’t even need to control them whatsoever during that time. By the time their flights land, they’ll just be feeling pretty sick, but so what? That won’t ground any damn planes. Then hours after landing they turn into a zombie and they have the basic zombie mindset of wanting to eat flesh, so they go do it. And he’d have tons of people like this going to each continent, after he stole a car and drove to LAX after biting those girls on the beach, then he kills people in an enclosed, private area somewhere near the airport, then gets those new zombies to help carry out his plan of just barely biting people, while wearing hoodies and sunglasses and so on, as their victims are just about to board international flights. It’s very fucking easy.
“TFZ had genuine military training and what looks like several weeks walking across the ocean floor to work the kinks out.”
Um, don’t forget the 65 years before that where he was also planning it all out.
“He could do it. Maybe not as quickly as shown in the story, but unless the vamps got him that first day the human race is toast.”
He could have done it a ton quicker if he wanted. A month is AMPLE time.
“Anything is possible, saying that its a 100 % fact that anything is possible is superfulous.”
No, it’s most definitely not, and even if it was, who the fuck cares? What the hell kind of complaint is that? People disagree all the time on what’s possible. These morons who were arguing about steals and blocks were obviously saying that they didn’t think it was possible, moron. Did you read their damn comments? Definitely not “superfulous,” jeez.
“If the Zombie vuirus takes 24 hours to kill but shows sickness after 12 then worldwide infection seems unlikely. A guy has to bit who is about to travel, then he has to go to the airport, wait, board a flight, travel and arrive and go through customs all before appearing sick.”
WOW. How about doing a fucking google search to find where I explained all this a million times before, moron? Would take two seconds. Obviously TFZ would bite them right at the airport, right as they’re about to board, as I’ve said 2,000 times before.
“Granted if zombies can fly planes then all bets are off. Hell TFZ can have ‘em parachute into uninfected countries if he wants.”
“Bobby, I totally get how infuriating it must be to have people question something you’ve obviously invested a lot of time, intellectual capital and love into.”
HUH? It’s not infuriating in any way, and certainly not for that retarded reason, LOL (”to have people question something”). What I have a problem with is when morons like you criticize the way I say things and when morons like you act like they’re 100% sure that something in the story is wrong and doesn’t work, when they’re actually just retarded and entirely wrong and off-base. “To have people question something” is perfectly fine, though.
“I used to be a litigator”
LOL! Hilarious. No wonder people hate lawyers.
“My suggestion: don’t spend much (any?) time commenting to people who piss you off.”
Sure glad I already banned you.
“As for those people who forget things, try to remember that you know all the details, while we read you once a week.”
Once again, it has absolutely nothing to do with that, and I know that you can’t wrap your brain around that. Who the fuck cares if they’re forgetting details when they’re telling me for sure that I’ve got something wrong and that something’s not possible when they’re totally wrong and when they shouldn’t say insanely stupid stuff like that before reading my explanations earlier or doing a simple search for those explanations, or simply WAITING for the story to unfold and receive all those explanations there? Memory has NOTHING to do with it. It’s fine for them to question things, but to flat out tell me that stuff won’t work when they’re choosing to IGNORE everything I’m saying, that proves that they’re either just completely retarded or they’re lying on purpose to try to make the story seem bad because they hate it or me.
“Well said, Sean.”
And you’re banned too.
“Bobby instead of complaining, as has been suggested before you should make a simply FAQ page and add a link on the top of the comic page.”
And you’re banned too obviously, for once again making me find and link to this, something I’ve had to link to at least 10 times already –

You are talented! People who are hung up on factual details in a fiction story aboutt vamipres and zombies…have IQ issues…something you *obviously* don’t have a problem with.
^^Can you say “blind loyalty†kids? See, for fiction to work, you need to have something called suspension of disbelief. Basically, fictional and fantastic events still need to make sense within the limitations of the reality their placed, even though we know they aren’t real.
In short, good fiction needs to be believable, which Last Blood, in my and other’s opinions, is not.

Kaptain Kwanzaa…if you and others do not find this to be believeable…I have a suggestion for you.
Write a treatment. Get a comic publisher interested and submit some samples…a good storyboard, synopsis, etc. See if you can get someone to publish it…and I am not talking about publishing it yourself at a penny-ante copy shop.
Until you do all of the above…which requires work…and not sniping behind the computer monitor because things are not as you think they should be..I have no inclination to care about anything you say.
My comments in regards to Last Blood are not “blind loyalty”, but rather admiration for a talented man who can do something I can’t…who has put himself out there…and who is doing this…unlike you and others sniping.
If you don’t like it…go away. If you can’t get over this…go away. If you don’t have anything better to do than moan about the creative license of the author…go away. If your belief has not been suspended…go away.
“When you mean end if the comic doesn’t pick up steam do you mean just cut off in the middle of the story? Or just go online only?”
In my post I said “online and in print.” There will be NO MORE “LAST BLOOD” COMICS WHATSOEVER after Page 110 or so, which ends the first graphic novel/first film’s story and the fourth issue of the series, unless orders for #3 and #4 through Diamond (through comic book shops) increase dramatically. So if you want more “Last Blood,” you gotta call every comic shop you can. I have massive plans for the story to continue (including with lots of prequels and origin stories) after this first graphic novel, but none of that will happen unless we start making lots of money off the comics, and the best/easiest way to do that is to get tons of orders through Diamond for the comic book series.
“perhaps it is just me, but did you notice that both bulgaria and haiti share the same slogan?”
I didn’t, no, and don’t feel like checking it.
“Linking the supposed home of the true vampires (the capartian mountains) to the home of the zombies…..”
Don’t know what any of that means.
“also, did you know that people with red hair or people talking to themself are according to bulgarian folklore very easy to become vampires?”
Didn’t, no.
“perhaps it is just me, but I am almost sure that that payne-dude coined that name. it just feels right to assume that mister payne is an older vampire.”
That would make sense, yeah. He probably did.
“maybe mister payne gets his virgins by offering to show them his DNA-collection…”
These vampires don’t need virgins.
“if my assumption is correct, a great way of bringing us nearer to the final mistery of how vampires work.”
Final mystery of how vampires work? I have zero plans for this story to ever explain how vampires began or how they work or any of that, really, even if it goes 300 issues.
“Also, the comic is great. But I would have imagined it a bit different. I would have placed a reference to george a romero in there. You know, in the movie, just after that scene, when the last sentence is spoken, the camera scrolls downwards, you see the zombies walking, then the voice of mac:
when there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.”
Um, I hate all of his movies and that would just be crazy to steal that line. Would be the worst thing ever.
And I was again confused by a lot of what you said.
Bobby, I think that you’re doing a splendid job with this;; as is Owen. The time and effort you put into this astounds me. I really do plan on trying out for the part of April.
And Vo, bravah. I loved your speech! You have some excellent points that people need to get slapped in the face with- such as, “his world.”
Well, yeah, he’s the man telling this story, the populace needs to get over the fact that not every detail is going to be met on their whim. Stupid houis (yes, that’s spelled correctly– Hawai’ian word for a white person’s’).
“Neca, I live for anime, but I thought Devian was chinese.”
Wow, well, my post was cut in half, but I’m not going to bother typing it all out. Basically I said that anime, which stands for animation, is not confined to being Japanese or Japanese based. And Asian isn’t being held to the Japanese standard. It goes out to every Chinese, Korean, Thai, and all the others, also.
Wow, Bobby. You’re welcome to ban me, but I have to say I don’t think swearing at people and banning them for being “annoying” (when some of them were in fact simply telling you to relax and ignore the trolls) is really… just… whoah.
Bobby, I hope you are not disappointed, but the first comment goes to Owen
oô? You comic dead sonja is GREAT!!!! Especially for a guy who has seen the spinoff movie that was produced by a man with insufficient glasses using a time machine and an austrian. I really think everybody should read this great comic. I have literally had the time of my life, reading that comic while waiting for the new comicpage.
Now, just for the fun, let’s clear up a few facts about zombies and planes.
1. bobby has already said that they simply bit some people just a little, and then placed them on planes. I hereby state that I do not encourage people to think otherwise, and have fully understood that it has happened this way.
What pisses me off is that people still think in terms of “evil american bmovie zombie” about TFZ and the bunch.
So, now, just for the fun of it, five fun ways to get a zombie to different parts of the world:
1. Zombie-luggage: find a small child, zombify it, and then put it (hidden in a samsonite)on the cart carrying the luggage to the plane. if you do this multiple times, It could be a good surprise if a bunch of teenagers crawl out of the luggages in the unclaimed luggage area and begin to eat the passengers.
2. give one zombie a record of you saying “I have a bomb. if you do not fly to europe, I wil trigger it. ” Glue it to his hands, if neccesary.
then, dress him up in hoodie and baggy jeans, place him in a seat, and if the plane starts, have the zombie zombify all the passengers, and play the record through the barred door to the cockpit. passengers will be great fun to collect, if a plane full of zombies arrives at munich central airport. Avoid samuel L. Jackson at all costs.
3. do it like the illegal immigrants. Go, climb up the weels of the plane, and hide between the electronics.
4. can you say fedex express delivery? I bet it would be great fun to find a zombie in a box.
5. can you say “Cargo container”? we simply need a bunch of zombies, the guy that has the equipment to seal the containers, and TFZ. TFZ heards the zombies in the container, and the guy he has killed and zombified seals the container. Is anyone going to check? I think not. and I bet if the airport people in the reccieving airport notice the stench and the ruffling, they are not going to think of it as zombies, and start to assume illegal aliens. I bet the police would hesitate to shoot illegal aliens, and would try to first capture and restrain them. I guess that would be a mistake
well, I guess with me having thought that up in under 5 minutes, it is only natural that the zombie has such a cunning plan (the person who can place that quote gets a cookie)
now, your comment, bobby, about a private enclosed area scared me. My mind suddenly imagines TFZ sitting on the public toilet, and zombifying people that want to use it. That is way to scary.
But congrats for the method you found. The victim not only gets just the feeling of something weird happening to him…
(but hey, it is america),
and he is also able to avoid detection by simply acting naturally sick, and flies over there in a 12-16 hour period maximum.
Now, as the victim leaves the plane, he might look a bit more thzen jtlagged, and will feel so sick that he will either go to a safe haven (away from most people), or to a public place (restroom, hotel or hospital). If he goes to a safe haven, a new zombie will have the perfect place to start spreading. he perhaps will not be detected for a long time.
if he goes for a public place, he wil have the opportunity to spread the zombie-illness, and to very many people. Imagine a zombie-victim that has rested at the four seasons. Loads of necks to bite.
I hereby gratulate you to the perfect most devilish solution on how to spread the virus without anyone noticing.
Also, the thing with devian and Mac, sitting on a tree…..
This is the whole big sceme, individualism versus blind masses, caring for people versus caring for results. The big weakness for vampires is that they have to care for the humans. Zombies don’t. Thus, by hunting mac up a tree, they have effectively put a vampire out of order, without getting one zombie killed. And just look at the way mac and the asian ladyvampire look at each other. she will sure as hell have her problems leaving him.
also, no, I go for blind loyality. Any man pulling of such ammount of work (6 comics, a film and all in such different themes, plus having the comics printed and such ) is no longer a mere human.
Bobby (and Owen, who has the most drawing, inking and coloring skills ever), you two are superhumans. If I would be anywhere near you, I would do the waynes world routine…
*bow*
I’m not worthy!
*bow*
I’m scum!
You might not have understood all of my ramblings, but I hope you have the general tone. Bobby, you are wickedly cool!
“Neca, I live for anime, but I thought Devian was chinese.â€
… Are the Chinese, suddenly, not Asian?
Neca,
I was thinking in terms of the fact that, at least to me, the only crazy haired characters in Anime are Japanese, and the chinese characters seem normal by comparison.
1. Zombie-luggage
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..LMFAO at that. I just imagine the zombie child exploding from the luggage like a pissed off cat.
Avoid samuel L. Jackson at all costs.
I would bet a Zombie Samuel L. might give Chuck Norris a workout. And then Chuck Norris would stop playing around. When TFZ goes to bed at night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
“I have to say I don’t think swearing at people and banning them for being ‘annoying’ . . .”
What? Where the heck did you get the idea that I banned someone just for being annoying? I’ve never banned anyone just for being annoying.
“(when some of them were in fact simply telling you to relax and ignore the trolls)”
“Simply”? You say that as if it’s nothing bad. Did you miss the part where I previously warned people that I’d ban anyone who tells me to relax or chill? Once again, I’m not going to allow the comments to be filled with the pointless ramblings of retarded idiots who want to waste everyone’s time by complaining about the way I say things to people or the things I do instead of talking about the comic, so you’re banned too, of course.
As someone who has been raised by all sorts of Asians (I’m from Kauai), I can honestly say that the Chinese animations make PCP look like a strong expresso.
… *twitch*
As someone who was born as and has been raised by Chinese, I have no idea what you’re talking about, Neca. But honestly, can we just say animation is animation, and not split it up by ethnicity? Genre, sure, but ethnicity? Come on.
As vampires that were once human don’t age (a child turned into a vampire remains a child for eternity) how do vampires that were born vampires age? Or is it that only vampires that were human stop aging?
I LOVE Devian’s earrings!
Awesome.
Haha, just had to mention that.
I thought maybe they were in a nice calm part, chilling out – but then I saw the zombies under them. Made me go ‘o.o’
July 31st, 2007 at 10:57 pm
Hey it is good to see mac is still alive i was woried since we have not seen him in so long.
July 31st, 2007 at 11:02 pm
Awh, gosh darn. Alex, while I appreciate that you love this comic more than I do… I’m going to have to kill you.
But don’t worry, nothing personal.
I just want the first comment.
=D

good big tree-sittin’ branches are hard to come by. Especially ones so tall up. Must be a sycamore or somethin’.
August 1st, 2007 at 12:12 am
I know that you might be trusting when the vampire just saved you from zombies…
Especially when the vampire can fly…
BUT THERE IS NO WAY I’D BE THAT HIGH UP!!!!!!!!
And I’m not even afraid of heights…
August 1st, 2007 at 12:19 am
Excelent shot in the 4th panel. Well done Owen.
But… Im still impatient – I want more!!! MORE!!!
;D
Take care!
August 1st, 2007 at 1:19 am
I really like this page. The final panel is an amazing shot. Humorous in its own twisted way.
August 1st, 2007 at 1:32 am
Fantastic first-and-last panels for this page. This is what I call artwork!
August 1st, 2007 at 3:41 am
where does Schaemiac come from?
And why are they sitting in a tree instead of flying away? resting or too many zombies around and Dev can’t carry Mac far enough?
I do like the crowd of zombies underneath them as they casually are talking.
August 1st, 2007 at 4:05 am
How do you pronouce ‘Schaemiac’?
Great to see Devian and Mac again, barely recognised them when I first looked at the page =]
August 1st, 2007 at 5:01 am
Love this page. I admit I was wondering where those two were.
And the situation is even more perfect. If he ever leaves that tree he is sooooo dead whereas she can leave at any time and easily avoid the zombie horde.
This will make a beautiful shot in the movie too. Start with a closeup and gradually pull back to near or mid-distance. Any lover of zombie movies will love the instant cliche of the image.
And he’s even got his axe.
Getting that high up must have been tricky. She probably was holding his belt most of the way up to give him a boost. Pity she isn’t strong enough to lift him completely off the ground.
Good to know that zombies is too stupid to figure out how to get him out of that tree unless TFZ is giving them orders. Unless maybe TFZ is stopping them from doing that for some reason?
Hmmm…
Got a question for the author if he doesn’t mind. Is the phone system at all intact? TFZ talking to someone at the school over a phone or radio link might be just his style. And would make for quite an amusing image…
August 1st, 2007 at 5:18 am
that last panel is awesome, the whole page is pretty funny, the way they are casually having this conversation, meanwhile hundreds of zombies gather below…
August 1st, 2007 at 5:19 am
“where does Schaemiac come from?”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia
“And why are they sitting in a tree instead of flying away? resting or too many zombies around and Dev can’t carry Mac far enough?”
Doesn’t really matter. Many reasons. And Devian earlier said that she couldn’t carry him very far, but I think she could carry him a short distance.
“How do you pronouce ‘Schaemiac’?”
SHAME-EE-ACK.
“Pity she isn’t strong enough to lift him completely off the ground.”
Probably can, but not for very long.
“Is the phone system at all intact?”
Nah, phones out ages ago.
August 1st, 2007 at 5:20 am
interesting bit of background there .. she might need a really big …meal.. to get him back to the school ..or is it start up high and glide to the next spot climb really high again and glide …etc .. oh wait ..there are no trees that i could see nm lol … perhaps the telephone wires with her holding him up for balance ..
August 1st, 2007 at 5:20 am
power lines i mean
August 1st, 2007 at 6:25 am
Devian sounds as though she’s given up… Is it possible for her to turn Mac into a flying vampire so that he can leave by his own engine?
August 1st, 2007 at 6:44 am
I love the last panel. They look so calm and serene in the first panel and then you find out that they are surrounded by zombies. It is perfect!
August 1st, 2007 at 8:40 am
I love how the vampires have their own “Eat your veggies! Children are starving in -insert third world country here-” slash boogieman.
August 1st, 2007 at 8:43 am
Huh. Dev is kind of hott. I like her hair too.
All hail the Asian vampires! For even in death, they make everything look ten times cooler.
-Neca
August 1st, 2007 at 9:23 am
I am terrified of heights but between being way up high and on the ground where there are scores of Zombies surrounding me… Um… tree please! XD I’d just be clinging to the vampire for dear life…
August 1st, 2007 at 11:15 am
I love this page. But who on earth would cut a tree off at a point that seems to be 50 feet in the air?!
August 1st, 2007 at 11:51 am
“Is the phone system at all intact?â€
Nah, phones out ages ago.
HAHAHAHAHA
I love the was you say ages like “years” or “eons.” Almost made me forget that it’s only been a month since it all began.
2 questions though.
1. How high up in that tree are they to stop triggering zombie eating responses? Or do your zombies not have single-minded pursuit of prey? I guess I pictured they would trample and climb on each to get at food.
2. How freaking much hairspray did Devian use to get her hair to stay like that after all that flying?
August 1st, 2007 at 12:15 pm
She’s an ASIAN vampire, Vo.
She needs no hairspray.
Haven’t you seen anime before?
-Neca
August 1st, 2007 at 12:15 pm
sooooo cool, xD I loved it, it was great the last pannel
August 1st, 2007 at 12:53 pm
The art is amazing and the story line is genious, I’m only sorry that it’s not humanly possible to make two hundred pages a week or go without water for more than three days, because if those two requirements were met, I’d never leave my computer.
August 1st, 2007 at 1:01 pm
When you mean end if the comic doesn’t pick up steam do you mean just cut off in the middle of the story? Or just go online only? Since this is going to be a movie (IIRC) then I’m assuming you have the whole screenplay worked out (or at least know the whole story), am I even close with any of these?
August 1st, 2007 at 1:52 pm
well, your reference made me laugh. perhaps it is just me, but did you notice that both bulgaria and haiti share the same slogan? Linking the supposed home of the true vampires (the capartian mountains) to the home of the zombies…..
also, did you know that people with red hair or people talking to themself are according to bulgarian folklore very easy to become vampires?
have fun googling it.
well, the thing with schaemiac….. it made me think for a while. perhaps it is just me, but I am almost sure that that payne-dude coined that name. it just feels right to assume that mister payne is an older vampire. maybe mister payne gets his virgins by offering to show them his DNA-collection…
if my assumption is correct, a great way of bringing us nearer to the final mistery of how vampires work. If you assume some pasic principles behind this vampire-sceme(even I cannot fully understand how you would explain the ability to fly with something biological), it seems almost convincing. a heart just beats if it is supplied with enough blood. If the infusion of fresh blood is stopped, it sure as hell will stop beating too. or, to say it in an easier way: if energy has to be generated, there has to be some energy invested. Now, if that energy misses, the heart cannot generate that kind of energy, thus the heart stops and the body dies, while the paient is basically in best condition.
Also, the comic is great. But I would have imagined it a bit different. I would have placed a reference to george a romero in there. You know, in the movie, just after that scene, when the last sentence is spoken, the camera scrolls downwards, you see the zombies walking, then the voice of mac:
when there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
asian vampire:
*huggles closer to mac*
we are all at his mercy now.
zombies:
Moan
the reason why they are up a tree?
well, you can rest there, if something dirty happens, she can leave him up there, and the zombies, as far as all legends and films go, do not think 3 dimensional. Zombies never climb, except in shitty italian productions.
and, it offers an excellent strategy:
both of them rest right now, maybe the asian vampire enjoys a bit of a fluffy mac-cushion. it would not be wise to run at night with no light, because someone is gonna get hurt.
now, at day, the zombies should have amassed around the tree. (good chance of playing hollywood squares, by the way….)now, if they have a free line of flight in one direction, the asian vampire grabs mac, goes into sliding flight over th heads of the zombies, mac hits the ground and starts running, and both of them have the entire crowd behind them. if they are rested and healthy, it should proove a good alternative to just sitting and dying.
OOh, and if you think they just are out of the reach of the zombie-senses, look again. some of then are looking upwards.
*thinks*
would make a good runaway plan if the zombies were behind human flesh. The ladyvampire grabs a slender human kid, flies low with him, and places him somewhere, so that all the zombies are going to see him. now, if the zombies look the other way, it should be easy for the humans to escape.
well, since you had problems understanding my train of thoughts, I better stop here, and just let you do your work.
Baltazaar from germany, who still roots for the Zombies, and finds that since math and val already have gotten booty, nothing speaks against the asian lady vampire having a little mac-nightmeal….
August 1st, 2007 at 1:55 pm
If they can dig as well as they obviously can they could certainly knock that tree over. Might take them a while if they are having to think for themselves, but they should be able to work something out.
If it were this easy to get away from the horde there would be more survivors.
I think TFZ is letting them live for some reason. For now at least…
August 1st, 2007 at 2:10 pm
And the last frame for the win! Great set-up with what seems a somewhat normal conversation, then a high-up shot to show why they’re in the tree.
Great job, as always, and I can’t wait to see what happens next…And I’m calling my local comic book shop ASAP!
August 1st, 2007 at 2:18 pm
Getting a ‘running’ start with a flying assisst might or might not work. Even then he might not be able to run far enough. He will get tired after a couple miles and the zombies won’t.
Since the two of them were just in the middle of a large town/ small city there could easily be a couple hundred (or more!) zombies hovering around the area because of the smell of fresh food.
Devian is good, but by herself she isn’t enough to get him to safety unless they get very lucky. Even then they are going to have a couple hundred (or more) zombies trying to follow them.
As to the mystery of why vampires work – Payne might know. Anyone else is just guessing. Whatever it is that is powering vamps can’t be purely biological if it can develop into TFZ’s telepathy. Or allow Devian to fly with little or no apparent effort.
Kind of makes me wonder what other abilities have shown up in Vamp history. Guess we have to wait until the plane crash to find out…
August 1st, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Beautiful artwork and a twisted bit of humor thrown in.
On a side note, everyone should be reading World War Z.
August 1st, 2007 at 2:55 pm
I don’t mean climb in the literal sense, I mean climb in the sense of the overwhelming crash of zombies against the treebase will knock some of them down to be trod upon by the others. over time, this will slowly create a ramp of immobile zombie bodies that functional zombies would walk up like a hill. A hill of corpses.
You’re right. I didn’t notice the zombies pointing/reaching for them.
Neca, I live for anime, but I thought Devian was chinese.
August 1st, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Now the zombies have a nice view. *cough*
August 1st, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Lydia, now that you’ve said that, I’ve noticed the dead heads pointing at Devian.
August 1st, 2007 at 7:52 pm
Bobby…I had no plans to comment but…I wanted to say the following.
I am *really* enjoying your comic. I read about it on Sensibleerection…and wait for the new pages to show up on the net.
I felt for you…with people arguing inane points that do not matter, or going off onto tangents that go nowhere near reality.
I see that you get upset…I’ve been in your position in a different venue…and the politics of it all simply sucks. I found out the hard way it’s easier to let a person shoot themselves in the foot and be above it all…than to lower myself to their level.
Your comic, the storytelling and illustration is great! You are talented! People who are hung up on factual details in a fiction story aboutt vamipres and zombies…have IQ issues…something you *obviously* don’t have a problem with.
Keep up the good work! I plan to spread the word…
Take care!
August 2nd, 2007 at 1:45 am
Omg omg omg Devian would need to take blood from Mac and then they would make sweet sweet necrophiliac love and have awesome head-chopping, flying, half white, half azn, half living, half dead babehz!!!!!!!
SQUEEEEEE XD
Props to you Bobby, this just keeps getting better and better.
August 2nd, 2007 at 7:15 am
Lawl.
Just Lawl.
^^
August 2nd, 2007 at 11:01 am
Here’s how I’d like to see this one play out: Dev flies to a distance outside of the zombie crowd, spends some time killing a few hundred, comes back to rest, repeat. Eventually, create a giant wall (ala 300) of zombie bodies surrounding the hoardes, fly Mac to the other side of that wall, high-tail it outta there.
‘Course, this doesn’t account for any other zombies outside of that wall wandering around, but dammit, I’m just DYING to see a wall built out of zombie bodies…
-Javin
August 2nd, 2007 at 1:25 pm
You are talented! People who are hung up on factual details in a fiction story aboutt vamipres and zombies…have IQ issues…something you *obviously* don’t have a problem with.
^^Can you say “blind loyalty” kids? See, for fiction to work, you need to have something called suspension of disbelief. Basically, fictional and fantastic events still need to make sense within the limitations of the reality their placed, even though we know they aren’t real. The ease and quickness in which the entire human race was destroyed, bar none, with no exceptions besides for the school, just doesn’t make sense. TFZ is just too all-powerful, and any logical complaint raised against the backstory of the comic is shot down with a long and often insulting reply from Mr. Crosby, which usually can be summed up as “He is TFZ so he can do that.”
In short, good fiction needs to be believable, which Last Blood, in my and other’s opinions, is not.
August 2nd, 2007 at 1:44 pm
Kaptain Kwanzaa, to put it very simply and 100% accurately: You have no brain in your fucking head if you think that the blocks and steals records on the wall of the school ruins the “suspension of disbelief” in this story. None. Just no brain. It’s a 100% fact that it’s at least possible that they could have accurate records on such a thing, for the million reasons I listed before, but even if they didn’t, at the most one out of every 300 or so readers would have ANY CLUE that blocks and steals weren’t commonly recorded back then, and even for THOSE people, it’s about the most minor thing possible for the story, so it doesn’t ruin their suspension of disbelief either. This is similar to if I got it wrong on some can of food. For example, if we have some flashback to the ’30s and we’re seeing people eat a can of beans with a brand name on there that someone searches for and discovers wasn’t actually produced until the ’50s. That would ruin your suspension of disbelief in the story? If so, once again, you have no brain in your head. But that example would be even worse than the blocks and steals thing, since OBVIOUSLY the blocks and steals thing is possible.
“The ease and quickness in which the entire human race was destroyed, bar none, with no exceptions besides for the school, just doesn’t make sense.”
It only doesn’t make sense for people with no brain in their head, like you. I’ve explained it a trillion times. Also, besides for the school? Huh??? Have you somehow missed all the parts where I’ve explained and where the story itself just strongly hinted at that The First Zombie came from this town and is obviously choosing to keep them alive? Devian just said that he’s keeping this one town alive to set a trap for the rest of the vampires. You’re just one of these morons who thinks that it’s impossible for billions of zombies (led by a great military mind who controls them all) to kill everyone on Earth, because you refuse to believe your planet would be taken over by anything, because you’re retarded.
August 2nd, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Did thne Kaptain actually mention blocks and steals in his post.
And I’m pretty sujre you can’t have a 100% fact of something being possible.
August 2nd, 2007 at 6:41 pm
I want the print version to add to my collection. Awesome graphic novel, 5/5
August 2nd, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Bobby, Kaptain Kwanzaa obviously has a captive zombie in his basement which he has done extensive research on and knows exactly how it would react and how long it would take if given the chance to dominate the human race…
OK so this is your story and the zombies can do whatever the hell you want them to. I wish people would just get that and enjoy the story. There is no point in trying to have a logical debate about how zombies would proceed to take over the human race…
August 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 pm
no way, you guys. Kaptain Kwanzaa IS a captive zombie! duh! Bobby knows how to pick ‘em out. Didn’t you catch the “Just no brain” comment? Come on, he’s giving away more easter eggs behind the story. Kaptain Kwanzaa could even be TFZ, and is trying to make us all disbelieve in him… like that story about the devil, or Keysar Soze.
Damn, he’s good. I mean for having no brain, of course. Still loving it, Bobby. Got my first two copies last week, I can’t really bring myself to take them out of the plastic wrap and touch ‘em with my own hands. Call me weird, but I can’t.
August 2nd, 2007 at 10:02 pm
if i remember from english clasa there was once a play wrighter who did this same thang in quite a few difrent plays, the whole putting something in that did not exist. the plays were still quite good and it never took away from his story. he also became very famous to, his name William Shakespeare. if you dont belive me read Julius Caesar at the time this play took place there were several inventions that were refrenced that did not exist for the time period but were used becaause they helped tell the story better. if you dont belive me take a look and read it, it is still a great play even if you dont find what parts i am talking about try another one like romeo and juliet the list of his plays that he did this with is quite long. so what i am saying is that just because it may or may not have existed or been recorded in this case how many people even the ones who know their history are going to say “that runins the whole story for me becaus that could be incorect because it was not officialy tracked and recorded till many years later because only officials say what to track and what not to” but come on this is a great story why should one little thing that all the writer is trying to get across is this guy was good at basketball runin it for you. just read and enjoy a great story. remember this story is all a work of fiction and can be twisted to what ever the writer wants it to be. also insted of him just telling you this he has insted given a very good explanation to severl things that he could of said well it is just fiction.
August 2nd, 2007 at 10:04 pm
oh and i forgot if you dont like the story so much and just cant belive it then why are you still reading it and making such a big deal out of something so small?
August 2nd, 2007 at 10:55 pm
“Did thne Kaptain actually mention blocks and steals in his post.
And I’m pretty sujre you can’t have a 100% fact of something being possible.”
LOL, add this moron to the list of people with no brain in their head. How the fuck can it not be possible to have a 100% fact that’s something possible? You’re saying that I can’t say that it’s a 100% fact that it’s possible that you’ll die today? Why can’t I do that? You’re making no sense. And who the fuck cares if Kaptain mentioned blocks and steals or not??? He quoted someone talking about the fucking blocks and steals stats and then he responded by saying that this comic doesn’t have any suspension of disbelief. Who the fuck cares if he also mentions other wrong shit?
August 2nd, 2007 at 11:44 pm
Oh geeze again with the steals argument? I never would have known that they probably didn’t record that sort of thing until I read the comments… and quite frankly it doesn’t matter! It’s barely relevant at all to the story except that it seems to have officially revealed TFZ’s name. It’s an awesome and, in my opinion, very unique storyline. Scary too… the bugger managed to give me a nightmare! But then I’m also a wuss when it comes to zombies so…
August 3rd, 2007 at 3:12 am
Man, if these people think one anachorism, even a logical one, ruins a whole story they obviously aren’t friends of Shakespeare. I think someone pointed that out before me, but it’s all over the place with him.
I wonder if the Kaptin ever bothered reading all the comments before, you’ve said literally hundreds of times that most of the backstory concerning The First Zombie and his rise to power is part of the story later. It’s only 66 pages in, is he seriously expecting every detail to be thrown out there already?
Ah well, seems kind of weird to me people are nitpicking facts trying to say they ruin the believeabilty of a zombie/vampire story. Which, so far, has been great Bobby. I follow Marry Me and +EV too, but I think Last Blood might be my favorite out of the three.
August 3rd, 2007 at 4:12 am
wtf? the war was lost on the first day???????
quick question what is the incubation period for this virus? cause it appears to be less then 6 hours. even then try to imagine the effect of having a zombie onboard a comercial airliner. no way that plane is getting to europe and even if they did a massive walk along the ocean floor like in the first comic it would take a couple of months.
speed of transport is only an issue if the effects are not instantly dramatically aparent we have a kid zombified in the school within minutes of the attack and your trying to convince me that people happilly let somone like this on a plane or train or boat.
as long as its not airborn with an incubation period there is no way transportation can bring about worldwide infection on an uncontrolable level in a day.
second and very important fact america is not the world if it is covered in infected it doesnt mean the rest of the world is.
untill i see some zombies driving trucks flying airplanes or just handeling anything more complex then a club i cant buy what you seem to be trying to sell me here
August 3rd, 2007 at 4:19 am
peadar, you have no fucking brain in your head and you haven’t read any of my comments apparently, or comprehended them.
“wtf? the war was lost on the first day???????”
Meaning there was no chance of victory after the events of the first day obviously, not meaning that almost everyone in the world actually died on the first day.
“quick question what is the incubation period for this virus?”
I’ve said somewhere around 2,000 times — it’s 24 hours. And now you’re going to make me repeat a ton more shit.
“cause it appears to be less then 6 hours.”
Huh? Why the fuck would that be?
“even then try to imagine the effect of having a zombie onboard a comercial airliner. no way that plane is getting to europe”
Read through the fucking comments before making a comment like this, moron. I’ve explained this many times. When you get bitten, but those bites/injuries wouldn’t normally be fatal, you have 24 hours until you turn into a zombie, and in those 24 hours you just get gradually sicker and sicker, and in the first 12 hours or so of that you could look fairly normal, maybe just sweating a bit, like you have a fever. That’s the 100th time I’ve said this.
“speed of transport is only an issue if the effects are not instantly dramatically aparent we have a kid zombified in the school within minutes of the attack and your trying to convince me that people happilly let somone like this on a plane or train or boat.”
The kid was KILLED INSTANTLY. If you’ve been bitten by a zombie and you DIE from your bites/injuries, you INSTANTLY become a zombie. That obviously wasn’t the case, though, for the airline travelers on the first day.
“as long as its not airborn with an incubation period there is no way transportation can bring about worldwide infection on an uncontrolable level in a day.”
Again, you have no brain.
“second and very important fact america is not the world if it is covered in infected it doesnt mean the rest of the world is.”
What the fuck is your point?
“untill i see some zombies driving trucks flying airplanes or just handeling anything more complex then a club i cant buy what you seem to be trying to sell me here”
Again you prove that you haven’t read the comments at all, since we had a long discussion about zombies flying planes before, which you’ll see them doing later on — The First Zombie at least, who was a pilot in World War II and who controls all the other zombies with his mind.
August 3rd, 2007 at 5:17 am
Bobby, SERIOUSLY, not everyone reads the comments. Some people jump on late, others just skip over them. In any event, these are people that took the time to read your stuff, meaning they are fans on some level. Don’t let the few argumentative ones bait you.
Looking forward to the next page…
August 3rd, 2007 at 6:16 am
While I personally have some doubts about *everyone* else being dead, the sad fact of this universe is that the only way they could stop the zombie horde is to find TFZ and kill him. Which is probably how they stopped the last one Dev mentions in the strip above.
The initial cycle is pretty simple. TFZ bites someone to traqnsfer the infection then kills them – whereupon they almost instantly rise as a zombie much like the little kid a few panels back. TFZ does his mind-mojo on the victim to implant a few basic rules of conduct (avoid capture, bite somone at least once an hour, kill the bite victim immediately if possible, leave the area if you smell other zombies, etc) and he could easily have most of a major metropolis converted in 24 hours.
Assuming other sets of orders for those boarding planes to other continents emphasizing stealth and you could have your zombie agents spreading worldwide as fast as the planes could carry them. If the zombie gets detected, it just acts sick until the plane lands and them it starts biting people.
Heck, anyone who plays modern computer strategy games could come up with half decent rules for the zombies to use that would insure their spread worldwide. TFZ had genuine military training and what looks like several weeks walking across the ocean floor to work the kinks out.
He could do it. The only ones that would know how to stop TFZ would be the vampires, and we have already seen that TFZ is good enough at hiding his scent to be watching Math from the bushes while he and the nice teacher lady were out by the swings.
He could do it. Maybe not as quickly as shown in the story, but unless the vamps got him that first day the human race is toast.
August 3rd, 2007 at 6:20 am
From the top then :
Yes you can say its a 100% fact that something is possible, my point is it doesn’t mean anything. Anything is possible, saying that its a 100 % fact that anything is possible is superfulous. Yes its a 100 % fact that its possible I might die today, its also possible your really President Bush writing this as a hobby ( in which case Mr. President how about doing something about Global Warming). Anything is possible itsthe degree of probability that matters.
If the Zombie vuirus takes 24 hours to kill but shows sickness after 12 then worldwide infection seems unlikely. A guy has to bit who is about to travel, then he has to go to the airport, wait, board a flight, travel and arrive and go through customs all before appearing sick. (

Sorry out of space.
And this has to ahppen in EVERY country in the world in the first day.
Granted if zombies can fly planes then all bets are off. Hell TFZ can have ‘em parachute into uninfected countries if he wants.
Lo, a reasoned argument without calling anyone a fucking moron, it is possible.
August 3rd, 2007 at 8:30 am
That’s my whole point, Dave: reasoned argument is the way to go. Bobby, I totally get how infuriating it must be to have people question something you’ve obviously invested a lot of time, intellectual capital and love into. That said, you never know how old the commentators are, maturity level, etc. The fact that you made this amazing tale up means you are capable of a reasonable argument. A 14 yr. old probably isn’t. I used to be a litigator and it is STUNNING how often experienced lawyers get caught up in irrelevant minutia. I just ignore it and focus on the important stuff. My suggestion: don’t spend much (any?) time commenting to people who piss you off. As for those people who forget things, try to remember that you know all the details, while we read you once a week. We are bound to forget stuff. And the argumentative ones, well, if your story troubles them so, perhaps they shouldn’t come back. Asking a question once is OK, but hostile threads are quite another.
August 3rd, 2007 at 8:53 am
Well said, Sean.
To try to follow your lead, I apologise for the overly sarcastic tone of my previous comment
August 3rd, 2007 at 11:34 am
Not to overstep my boundaries here. Bobby, you know what to say to me if I do.
IT’S A FUCKING WORK OF FICTION! BOBBY IS GOD(within the confines of the story)! MAYBE IN THE REAL WORLD NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE, BUT WE AREN’T DEALING WITH THE REAL WORLD! IT’S BOBBY’S WORLD(loved that cartoon) AND HIS RULES. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE “LOGIC ISSUE” AND ACCEPT THIS IS HOW IT IS.
Who cares if TFZ could do what he did? HE FUCKING DID IT, DIDN”T HE?
Did anyone keep track of blocks and steals in the 30’s? WELL, SOMEONE MUST HAVE, OR WHY IS IT ON THE DAMN BOARD?
If Devian winds up in a schoolgirl’s outfit(hint, hint, Bobby), will a giant tentacle monster burst from the ground and rape her? PROBABLY NOT IN THIS COMIC!
Bobby, you’re a genius. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.
August 3rd, 2007 at 11:35 am
Oh yeah, Kaptain Kwanzaa, I really fucking hope you’re a black man. Because if you aren’t, I’m going to be really fucking offended.
August 3rd, 2007 at 12:11 pm
Yay vo! That’s right!
August 3rd, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Bobby instead of complaining, as has been suggested before you should make a simply FAQ page and add a link on the top of the comic page. Put the most common questions and answers there.
Surely have a FAQ would make sense!
August 3rd, 2007 at 3:47 pm
“Bobby, SERIOUSLY, not everyone reads the comments. Some people jump on late, others just skip over them.”
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? I’m not even going to bother explaining to you why that’s retarded and makes no sense for this situation. You’re too stupid to understand it.
“Don’t let the few argumentative ones bait you.”
Never again tell me what to do. You’re banned.
“the sad fact of this universe is that the only way they could stop the zombie horde is to find TFZ and kill him.”
No, that actually would hurt their cause in this case. TFZ is the only thing keeping them all from being dead right now. The only way killing TFZ would have helped them is if they did it weeks ago.
“Which is probably how they stopped the last one Dev mentions in the strip above.”
Incorrect, as you’ll discover later.
“If the zombie gets detected, it just acts sick until the plane lands and them it starts biting people.”
And I thought you were someone who had read all my explanations before. Anyway, it’s extremely easy to just scrape your teeth against someone’s skin and give them a tiny little cut, right before they’re about to board those international flights, as I’ve said many times before. They’d have 24 hours until they turn into a zombie and TFZ wouldn’t even need to control them whatsoever during that time. By the time their flights land, they’ll just be feeling pretty sick, but so what? That won’t ground any damn planes. Then hours after landing they turn into a zombie and they have the basic zombie mindset of wanting to eat flesh, so they go do it. And he’d have tons of people like this going to each continent, after he stole a car and drove to LAX after biting those girls on the beach, then he kills people in an enclosed, private area somewhere near the airport, then gets those new zombies to help carry out his plan of just barely biting people, while wearing hoodies and sunglasses and so on, as their victims are just about to board international flights. It’s very fucking easy.
“TFZ had genuine military training and what looks like several weeks walking across the ocean floor to work the kinks out.”
Um, don’t forget the 65 years before that where he was also planning it all out.
“He could do it. Maybe not as quickly as shown in the story, but unless the vamps got him that first day the human race is toast.”
He could have done it a ton quicker if he wanted. A month is AMPLE time.
“Anything is possible, saying that its a 100 % fact that anything is possible is superfulous.”
No, it’s most definitely not, and even if it was, who the fuck cares? What the hell kind of complaint is that? People disagree all the time on what’s possible. These morons who were arguing about steals and blocks were obviously saying that they didn’t think it was possible, moron. Did you read their damn comments? Definitely not “superfulous,” jeez.
“If the Zombie vuirus takes 24 hours to kill but shows sickness after 12 then worldwide infection seems unlikely. A guy has to bit who is about to travel, then he has to go to the airport, wait, board a flight, travel and arrive and go through customs all before appearing sick.”
WOW. How about doing a fucking google search to find where I explained all this a million times before, moron? Would take two seconds. Obviously TFZ would bite them right at the airport, right as they’re about to board, as I’ve said 2,000 times before.
“Granted if zombies can fly planes then all bets are off. Hell TFZ can have ‘em parachute into uninfected countries if he wants.”
Again, google search.

“Bobby, I totally get how infuriating it must be to have people question something you’ve obviously invested a lot of time, intellectual capital and love into.”
HUH? It’s not infuriating in any way, and certainly not for that retarded reason, LOL (”to have people question something”). What I have a problem with is when morons like you criticize the way I say things and when morons like you act like they’re 100% sure that something in the story is wrong and doesn’t work, when they’re actually just retarded and entirely wrong and off-base. “To have people question something” is perfectly fine, though.
“I used to be a litigator”
LOL! Hilarious. No wonder people hate lawyers.
“My suggestion: don’t spend much (any?) time commenting to people who piss you off.”
Sure glad I already banned you.
“As for those people who forget things, try to remember that you know all the details, while we read you once a week.”
Once again, it has absolutely nothing to do with that, and I know that you can’t wrap your brain around that. Who the fuck cares if they’re forgetting details when they’re telling me for sure that I’ve got something wrong and that something’s not possible when they’re totally wrong and when they shouldn’t say insanely stupid stuff like that before reading my explanations earlier or doing a simple search for those explanations, or simply WAITING for the story to unfold and receive all those explanations there? Memory has NOTHING to do with it. It’s fine for them to question things, but to flat out tell me that stuff won’t work when they’re choosing to IGNORE everything I’m saying, that proves that they’re either just completely retarded or they’re lying on purpose to try to make the story seem bad because they hate it or me.
“Well said, Sean.”
And you’re banned too.
“Bobby instead of complaining, as has been suggested before you should make a simply FAQ page and add a link on the top of the comic page.”
And you’re banned too obviously, for once again making me find and link to this, something I’ve had to link to at least 10 times already –

———–
You are talented! People who are hung up on factual details in a fiction story aboutt vamipres and zombies…have IQ issues…something you *obviously* don’t have a problem with.
^^Can you say “blind loyalty†kids? See, for fiction to work, you need to have something called suspension of disbelief. Basically, fictional and fantastic events still need to make sense within the limitations of the reality their placed, even though we know they aren’t real.
In short, good fiction needs to be believable, which Last Blood, in my and other’s opinions, is not.
———-
Kaptain Kwanzaa…if you and others do not find this to be believeable…I have a suggestion for you.
Write a treatment. Get a comic publisher interested and submit some samples…a good storyboard, synopsis, etc. See if you can get someone to publish it…and I am not talking about publishing it yourself at a penny-ante copy shop.
Until you do all of the above…which requires work…and not sniping behind the computer monitor because things are not as you think they should be..I have no inclination to care about anything you say.
My comments in regards to Last Blood are not “blind loyalty”, but rather admiration for a talented man who can do something I can’t…who has put himself out there…and who is doing this…unlike you and others sniping.
If you don’t like it…go away. If you can’t get over this…go away. If you don’t have anything better to do than moan about the creative license of the author…go away. If your belief has not been suspended…go away.
It’s simple, really.
You don’t like what you see, don’t come back.
August 3rd, 2007 at 6:04 pm
Note…telented MEN who put this together…Bobby and Owen, thanks for getting me hooked on the comic.
Props to both of you. 
August 3rd, 2007 at 8:59 pm
Forgot to respond to this stuff earlier –
“When you mean end if the comic doesn’t pick up steam do you mean just cut off in the middle of the story? Or just go online only?”
In my post I said “online and in print.” There will be NO MORE “LAST BLOOD” COMICS WHATSOEVER after Page 110 or so, which ends the first graphic novel/first film’s story and the fourth issue of the series, unless orders for #3 and #4 through Diamond (through comic book shops) increase dramatically. So if you want more “Last Blood,” you gotta call every comic shop you can. I have massive plans for the story to continue (including with lots of prequels and origin stories) after this first graphic novel, but none of that will happen unless we start making lots of money off the comics, and the best/easiest way to do that is to get tons of orders through Diamond for the comic book series.
“perhaps it is just me, but did you notice that both bulgaria and haiti share the same slogan?”
I didn’t, no, and don’t feel like checking it.
“Linking the supposed home of the true vampires (the capartian mountains) to the home of the zombies…..”
Don’t know what any of that means.
“also, did you know that people with red hair or people talking to themself are according to bulgarian folklore very easy to become vampires?”
Didn’t, no.
“perhaps it is just me, but I am almost sure that that payne-dude coined that name. it just feels right to assume that mister payne is an older vampire.”
That would make sense, yeah. He probably did.
“maybe mister payne gets his virgins by offering to show them his DNA-collection…”
These vampires don’t need virgins.
“if my assumption is correct, a great way of bringing us nearer to the final mistery of how vampires work.”
Final mystery of how vampires work? I have zero plans for this story to ever explain how vampires began or how they work or any of that, really, even if it goes 300 issues.
“Also, the comic is great. But I would have imagined it a bit different. I would have placed a reference to george a romero in there. You know, in the movie, just after that scene, when the last sentence is spoken, the camera scrolls downwards, you see the zombies walking, then the voice of mac:
when there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.”
Um, I hate all of his movies and that would just be crazy to steal that line. Would be the worst thing ever.
And I was again confused by a lot of what you said.
August 4th, 2007 at 8:13 am
Lovely! I get to read a very good comic AND see a lovely spiral of stupidity draw in more and more people.
You people are great. The banning had me giggling like mad. ^_^
August 4th, 2007 at 11:24 am
Bobby, I think that you’re doing a splendid job with this;; as is Owen. The time and effort you put into this astounds me. I really do plan on trying out for the part of April.
And Vo, bravah. I loved your speech! You have some excellent points that people need to get slapped in the face with- such as, “his world.”
Well, yeah, he’s the man telling this story, the populace needs to get over the fact that not every detail is going to be met on their whim. Stupid houis (yes, that’s spelled correctly– Hawai’ian word for a white person’s’).
“Neca, I live for anime, but I thought Devian was chinese.”

Wow, well, my post was cut in half, but I’m not going to bother typing it all out. Basically I said that anime, which stands for animation, is not confined to being Japanese or Japanese based. And Asian isn’t being held to the Japanese standard. It goes out to every Chinese, Korean, Thai, and all the others, also.

August 5th, 2007 at 5:06 am
Wow, Bobby. You’re welcome to ban me, but I have to say I don’t think swearing at people and banning them for being “annoying” (when some of them were in fact simply telling you to relax and ignore the trolls) is really… just… whoah.
August 5th, 2007 at 6:23 am
Bobby, I hope you are not disappointed, but the first comment goes to Owen
oô? You comic dead sonja is GREAT!!!! Especially for a guy who has seen the spinoff movie that was produced by a man with insufficient glasses using a time machine and an austrian. I really think everybody should read this great comic. I have literally had the time of my life, reading that comic while waiting for the new comicpage.
Now, just for the fun, let’s clear up a few facts about zombies and planes.
1. bobby has already said that they simply bit some people just a little, and then placed them on planes. I hereby state that I do not encourage people to think otherwise, and have fully understood that it has happened this way.
What pisses me off is that people still think in terms of “evil american bmovie zombie” about TFZ and the bunch.
So, now, just for the fun of it, five fun ways to get a zombie to different parts of the world:
1. Zombie-luggage: find a small child, zombify it, and then put it (hidden in a samsonite)on the cart carrying the luggage to the plane. if you do this multiple times, It could be a good surprise if a bunch of teenagers crawl out of the luggages in the unclaimed luggage area and begin to eat the passengers.
2. give one zombie a record of you saying “I have a bomb. if you do not fly to europe, I wil trigger it. ” Glue it to his hands, if neccesary.
then, dress him up in hoodie and baggy jeans, place him in a seat, and if the plane starts, have the zombie zombify all the passengers, and play the record through the barred door to the cockpit. passengers will be great fun to collect, if a plane full of zombies arrives at munich central airport. Avoid samuel L. Jackson at all costs.
3. do it like the illegal immigrants. Go, climb up the weels of the plane, and hide between the electronics.
4. can you say fedex express delivery? I bet it would be great fun to find a zombie in a box.
5. can you say “Cargo container”? we simply need a bunch of zombies, the guy that has the equipment to seal the containers, and TFZ. TFZ heards the zombies in the container, and the guy he has killed and zombified seals the container. Is anyone going to check? I think not. and I bet if the airport people in the reccieving airport notice the stench and the ruffling, they are not going to think of it as zombies, and start to assume illegal aliens. I bet the police would hesitate to shoot illegal aliens, and would try to first capture and restrain them. I guess that would be a mistake
well, I guess with me having thought that up in under 5 minutes, it is only natural that the zombie has such a cunning plan (the person who can place that quote gets a cookie)
now, your comment, bobby, about a private enclosed area scared me. My mind suddenly imagines TFZ sitting on the public toilet, and zombifying people that want to use it. That is way to scary.
But congrats for the method you found. The victim not only gets just the feeling of something weird happening to him…
(but hey, it is america),
and he is also able to avoid detection by simply acting naturally sick, and flies over there in a 12-16 hour period maximum.
Now, as the victim leaves the plane, he might look a bit more thzen jtlagged, and will feel so sick that he will either go to a safe haven (away from most people), or to a public place (restroom, hotel or hospital). If he goes to a safe haven, a new zombie will have the perfect place to start spreading. he perhaps will not be detected for a long time.
if he goes for a public place, he wil have the opportunity to spread the zombie-illness, and to very many people. Imagine a zombie-victim that has rested at the four seasons. Loads of necks to bite.
I hereby gratulate you to the perfect most devilish solution on how to spread the virus without anyone noticing.
Also, the thing with devian and Mac, sitting on a tree…..
This is the whole big sceme, individualism versus blind masses, caring for people versus caring for results. The big weakness for vampires is that they have to care for the humans. Zombies don’t. Thus, by hunting mac up a tree, they have effectively put a vampire out of order, without getting one zombie killed. And just look at the way mac and the asian ladyvampire look at each other. she will sure as hell have her problems leaving him.
also, no, I go for blind loyality. Any man pulling of such ammount of work (6 comics, a film and all in such different themes, plus having the comics printed and such ) is no longer a mere human.
Bobby (and Owen, who has the most drawing, inking and coloring skills ever), you two are superhumans. If I would be anywhere near you, I would do the waynes world routine…
*bow*
I’m not worthy!
*bow*
I’m scum!
You might not have understood all of my ramblings, but I hope you have the general tone. Bobby, you are wickedly cool!
August 5th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
“Neca, I live for anime, but I thought Devian was chinese.â€
… Are the Chinese, suddenly, not Asian?
Neca,
I was thinking in terms of the fact that, at least to me, the only crazy haired characters in Anime are Japanese, and the chinese characters seem normal by comparison.
1. Zombie-luggage
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..LMFAO at that. I just imagine the zombie child exploding from the luggage like a pissed off cat.
Avoid samuel L. Jackson at all costs.
I would bet a Zombie Samuel L. might give Chuck Norris a workout. And then Chuck Norris would stop playing around. When TFZ goes to bed at night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

“I have to say I don’t think swearing at people and banning them for being ‘annoying’ . . .”
What? Where the heck did you get the idea that I banned someone just for being annoying? I’ve never banned anyone just for being annoying.
“(when some of them were in fact simply telling you to relax and ignore the trolls)”
“Simply”? You say that as if it’s nothing bad. Did you miss the part where I previously warned people that I’d ban anyone who tells me to relax or chill? Once again, I’m not going to allow the comments to be filled with the pointless ramblings of retarded idiots who want to waste everyone’s time by complaining about the way I say things to people or the things I do instead of talking about the comic, so you’re banned too, of course.

As someone who has been raised by all sorts of Asians (I’m from Kauai), I can honestly say that the Chinese animations make PCP look like a strong expresso.

As someone who was born as and has been raised by Chinese, I have no idea what you’re talking about, Neca. But honestly, can we just say animation is animation, and not split it up by ethnicity? Genre, sure, but ethnicity? Come on.
Stereotyping is for chumps.

I’m not spliting the artists. Just the characters. Ah fuck it. Anime is fairly fucked up no matter how you slice it. BRB, Watching Ninja Scroll.

Neca, why do you sign all your posts when your name preceeds every one?

Hello from one of your readers in Bulgaria.
Wow, I never imagined we had an Undead King in the 12th century
Good comic – I found it a few days ago, and I like it. Poor Jimmy…

As vampires that were once human don’t age (a child turned into a vampire remains a child for eternity) how do vampires that were born vampires age? Or is it that only vampires that were human stop aging?

They reach a certain age and then stop — haven’t decided yet how that age is determined.

“some story they would told us to scare us and make us appreciate the blood we had”
lol, some cliché…

I have to say, this is one of the better stories I’ve read in a while.
Also, the MS paints? Hilarious, I love how you put such things as, “There could be blood leaking from the eyes, that’d be cool.” Lulz.
I shall check out the movie when it comes out, if it’s not already.

I LOVE Devian’s earrings!
Awesome.
Haha, just had to mention that.
I thought maybe they were in a nice calm part, chilling out – but then I saw the zombies under them. Made me go ‘o.o’
