Page 95: Slow Motion
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Great job by artist Owen Gieni on this page. He’s really nailing those facial expressions — love the Mac panel especially. I see this page as a slow motion sequence in the film with the only sound being some cool piece of music playing over the visuals. Music is extremely important and I’m gonna have to find somebody great if I end up making the movie myself.
I think a lot about the film, but I also think a lot about the comic. For example, when you’re reading these pages in the printed book, you’ll have Page 94 on the left and Page 95 on the right, and I like the symmetry of April featured on the top left corner of 94 and on the bottom right of 95. I’ve tried to do things like that a few times throughout the graphic novel. I want each page to tell a little story, each two page sequence to tell a little story, and so on. Can’t always do it, but it’s nice when it works out that way.

Looks like things are starting to go downhill. The last panal almost looks like Mac got bit.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:12 am
ya, first post, awesome comics poor little black vamp though they got him chained good
November 8th, 2007 at 11:12 am
Nice, very nice.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:13 am
damn you beat me, but after looking at it more is see just how sweet rage is, he fuckin loves it
November 8th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Looks more like Mac is getting tired to me. That, or starting to lose hope seeing the vamps getting chained. Although that line of dark on the right side of his face could be from a zombie scratch.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:17 am
The blood on mac’s face is probably the wound that was mentioned in previous comments reopened due to the physical stresses of the situation. Even if it were a “Scratch” it wouldn’t do anything, only zombie bites are infectious.
Rage biting through chains is just ridiculously awesome. Rage is definitely the coyote type, he would have no problem gnawing off his own limbs to escape if it came to that (especially since, as a vamp, they would reattach).
What’s AFP doing through all of this?
November 8th, 2007 at 11:20 am
Where’s Murdo? >_>
November 8th, 2007 at 11:21 am
hey bobby, if there’s going to be a movie, please make something to prove we read this before everyone sees the movie please!
November 8th, 2007 at 11:22 am
Looks like this could be the beginning of the end…
November 8th, 2007 at 11:25 am
Bumtown & Kelvrick- nah, it doesn’t mention him getting bit in the MS Paint drawing, so I don’t think he is.
I really love this page, it’s probably one of my favorites. I re-read the entire comic from the beginning last night; I appreciate everything a lot more from doing so. Owen’s art has really evolved into a brilliant, beautiful style and it’s been a pleasure seeing this world that Bobby creates brought to life through Owen’s hand.
I don’t think this has been asked before, but forgive me if it has. What made you guys change from the original sepia pallete (as seen here) to the grayscale? Was that just because of printing, or does it have more to do with the feel of the comic and the story becoming more of this ever-increasing realization of reality and mortality?
November 8th, 2007 at 11:40 am
why the fuck is devian back near the chainguys? I thought it would be nice if the plan of payne would work…..
otherwhise: great friggin comic…..
November 8th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Awesome you can just visualize the slow motion despair, of it all the look on rage as usual perfect. I must say I don’t think chains are going to do much good, if rage can bite through them as seen it looks like he snapped a chain there.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:48 am
Talk about an awesome page. Keep up the great work.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:50 am
Posalootly, Thanks for the kind words. The comic is still not quite straight greyscale, it’s just that the sepia has been toned down and refined a bit as I came up with a more consistent look for the pages. Also Wildfire393 is indeed correct that Mac’s wound on his head is the re-opened older cut. He’s exhausted and his body is giving out and I thought that would be a good way to show it. He’s still going hard though.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:53 am
Rage can bite trhough one chain at a time with a lot of effort but it won’t help him much if he gets wrapped up like kid vamp is. The vamps are all in deep trouble.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:58 am
I loved the detailed expression on Mac’s face. You can actually see how fatigued he is. Now im just hoping there would be one badass Deus Ex Machina that would intervene and save them.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:59 am
And almost forgot. Great Job as usual!
November 8th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Rage isn’t actually allowed to die.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Arent all of them allowed not allowed to die? Didnt Mr. P said that the FVZ’s plans was to just chain em for 60 years or till they go insane? Hmm we need a Last Blood forum…
November 8th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Title fits, it reminds me of the scene at the end of LotR: Return of the King when you see all the members of the fellowship starting to wear out. Slow motion and almost no sound.
Also, I agree with Baltazaar, what is Devian doing? On the last page Payne orders he inside.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:30 pm
kid vamp,toast .. mohawk vamp, toast … math,looking bad …devian,get a butterfly net and you have a chance to get her…pigtails,not looking good there…black vampire,looks like he going to start swinging that zombie AS a weapon…rage,BRING IT ON … mac , looking kinda like a tired lunchable there …two sword vampire ,next time try a frontal attack cause it looks like she has eyes in the back of her head…(yes platemail is loud ..ok) .. to watch the idiot box or the real thing, decisions decisions decisions
November 8th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Since Owen seems to be online, I’ll take a shot at a question.
Owen, how long does it take you to draw a page on average? And would you mind giving me your e-mail, because I’d like to ask you some more detailed questions about your work, please?
November 8th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
mac’s expression is just brilliant, the art on this is comic is so much better, amazing job owen, also this page is so intense…great comic
November 8th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Achrin, two sword vamp is our own lovely Val, she can bring it in a fight even though she is mostly selfish and inconsiderate.
Anko, pages vary in the time it takes. Lately I’ve been averaging 5 hours to draw and another 3 for scanning, filling blacks, and toneing and highlights. So about 8 hours. Not as fast as I’d like but still pretty good. Also, the best way to contact me would probably be through my sorethumbs addy creators@sorethumbsonline.com
Thanks.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
So beautiful. I can nearly feel the tension and despair in the atmosphere. This would make an awesome movie. In all seriousness, I would suggest sending a copy of two to a few of those people who are into that movie making business.
This is a brilliant comic and I have gotten many of my friends hooked on it as well. Val is the best. Like a spoiled little rich girl… who drinks blood, and lives forever, and yet can still kick ass. I almost expect her to whine over a broken nail
Rage has broken the line of where awesome lies, I see him crushing skulls like grapes. Mac is just kick ass for being human and beating zombies into the floor. Devian needs to get her cute little bum into that school and start getting ready to fly off with her two little ‘repopulate the world’ kids. Shes making me nervous.
I cant wait till the next page.
~love Kitten
November 8th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
“to watch the idiot box or the real thing, decisions decisions decisions”
Ha, nice description of April’s panel.
“What’s AFP doing through all of this?”
“Where’s Murdo?”
Was only 10 spots to fill and one of those had to go to April and we already saw Addison and Murdo on the previous page, so they were left out, along with many others. They’re fighting, and losing, like the others.
“please make something to prove we read this before everyone sees the movie please!”
Not sure exactly what you mean. Oh, I know — you could buy the book! I’ll sign and date your copies if you want.
“Val is the best. Like a spoiled little rich girl… who drinks blood, and lives forever”
Aw, I’m sorry. You may not like Page 97.
“Devian needs to get her cute little bum into that school and start getting ready to fly off with her two little ‘repopulate the world’ kids. Shes making me nervous.”
Aw, I’m sorry. You may not like Page 96.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I DON’T WANT MOHAWK VAMP GETTING CHAINED!!!!!
Still the look on his face hurts even me.
November 8th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
I’m loving this. I’m not really looking forward to some of the things to come, but I can’t help being stuck in a trance. You’re an evil, evil writer you are….
November 8th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Quoth Bobby: “Aw, I’m sorry. You may not like Page 96/97.”
Sounds like the next couple of pages are going to be looking pretty grim for the good guys. But you’ve said they win at the end. So I’m going to venture a guess, based on this fact and the fact that we haven’t seen TSZ (the second first zombie, Sullivan Davis) and his 3000 yet, that he’s going to show up in a few pages and save the vamps, and thus the day. Cue exposition from one or both TFZ’s and a renewed battle scene, with Sully’s Zombies joining the vamps and Mac to fight off the Evil First Zombie’s horde. Of course, I could be widely off-base, but this seems the most likely scenario at this point.
Here’s a question that I haven’t seen answered (not in the FAQ, and I’ve been keeping up with Bobby’s comments on most of the last 30 or so pages): Is there any way for a Schaemic to steal control of another Schaemic’s zombies? Or is Sullivan confined to just controlling the ~3000 he managed to turn before TFZ got everyone else?
November 8th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
“Here’s a question that I haven’t seen answered”
It’s been answered many times already. Answer is no.
November 8th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
awww man. This is starting to be one of those things where its like…you really wish that it will turn out in the good guys favor, but oyu know its hopeless.
We have the 3000 Zmobies Sullivan is controlling, are they gonna make any difference at all?
November 8th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Hey, how many pages are left of this comic again?
November 8th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
112 total, 17 more.
November 8th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
this sent a chill through my spine. it seems hopeless. and the little kid vamp,just sad.
November 8th, 2007 at 3:52 pm
What are those cuts on Mac’s face? He gona be turned into a zombie? I wouldn’t like that….
November 8th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
RAGE IS AWSOME!!!
November 8th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
@Grym: This has been answered several times… In today’s comments even. By OWEN, no less. Mac had a cut on his face from the car-crash which was very hurridly patched. Due to the stress of the fight, this wound reopened.
In addition, only a bite would turn him (since scratches do not) and that is definitely not a bite-wound.
Also, Bobby has said that Mac will leave for at least 25 more years. And not in a “living dead” kind of way.
November 8th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
….Does Math have no shirt on or is that just my perverted mind? =D
And Devian totally kicks ass.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
So, random question. I just thought of this while looking at Rage’s claw in the lower right of his panel. I suppose his teeth would also raise this question: did these vampires coexist with humans? Or did vampires in this world stay away from them as much as possible? Or did they actually isolate themselves totally, except from each other? Just wondering if a guy like Rage would be able to go out in public. Or, if he did, do vamps have the ability to conceal the nastiness we’re seeing now? I mean, somehow that boggles my mind they manage to fit those teeth in their mouths–but back to the claw. I know anyone handing me a twenty over the counter at the movie theater I work at would have caught my attention if it looked like he had barbecue fork tines where his fingers should end.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
Oh, and simply my favorite page yet. It continually amazes me how every time I go here something continues to amaze me.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
i like that mac looks ungodly tired, but is still bad ass enough to get a head chopped off.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
@wildfire: Sorry, I don’t read through the comments due to the fact I don’t want the end spoiled.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
“did these vampires coexist with humans?”
Some did, some didn’t. The big fangs only pop out when they’re especially emotional or violent, which is practically all the time for Rage.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
Oh, man. I used to think that Val looked like an over-paid hooker, but she looks really sexy in her panel.
Good job.
`Neca
November 8th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
I like the expression of hoplessness on the 5th panel of the vamp chick.Even made me a heartless bastard feel bad for her.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:45 pm
Not sure if this has ever been asked. IF the blood of a zombie mingles with Mac’s open wound…would that be a problem? Or only bites would change him over.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:48 pm
Someone Help Gary Coleman. Willis Where are you?
November 8th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
“IF the blood of a zombie mingles with Mac’s open wound…would that be a problem? Or only bites would change him over.”
That’s been answered 2,000 times in the last 24 hours alone, including on this page already. Bites only.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
I just read the FAQ. If all turned vampires have some of the traits from the original vamps that turned them, can someone be turned by two vampires at the same time to have a combination of skills?
November 8th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Maybe, but probably not. Hadn’t thought about it. Not sure how that would work.
November 8th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
I dunno, who says the turning drain has to be done by one vamp? You could have two vamps, one on each side of the neck, drain each about half of the needed blood. Sounds like it’d work, but you’d be the final say in it.
November 8th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
maybe they get traits from both vamps but not as strong as they otherwise would have.
November 8th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
I think there can probably only be one turner, but there’s a decent chance that would never even be brought up in a hundred issues of comics, so it’s doubtful there will ever be a final say on it.
November 8th, 2007 at 8:13 pm
To answer the question about Math’s shirt, you can see a bit of his tie and collar, so yes, he is wearing one.
We all know that each vampire has certain traits from the original vampire. Over the years, these traits have become specialized. Are we going to, in the few remaining pages, see an older vampire that still possess multiple traits, or a vampire child that inherits two abilities? I already suspect A.F.P. has brains and strength. While Bobby has drawn him with a sword, Owen has not.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:15 pm
hey thar my question never got answered. Are the 3000 Sullivan’s bringing gonna make any difference at all?
November 8th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
“hey thar my question never got answered.”
There was a good reason for that. #1 — It’s been answered a trillion times before. And #2 –
“Are the 3000 Sullivan’s bringing gonna make any difference at all?”
Why would they possibly be in the story at all if they don’t make any difference?
November 8th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
Well goddamn, that’s depressing as hell.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
ok sorry bout that, I”ll check old comments b4 asking another question, i just hadn’t seen it in the FAQ.
kick-ass comic, can’t wait to see the rest.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:39 pm
Asking questions is fine, but if I don’t answer it, no need to ask again — I chose not to for a reason. I read all the comments. Glad you like the comic.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
If two vamps with special traits, ie: Devian and Rage, had kids, would their offspring have both traits or would one take dominance over the other?
November 8th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
3 cheers for an update!
November 9th, 2007 at 12:09 am
Emotionally powerful music over a slow motion sequence is always a nice touch. But, if you really want to drive it home, don’t forget to include the sound of a heart beating in the mix.
Focusing on Mac or any other human character in the seconds before the slow motion, and the elevated heart-rate of battle…. and then shifting to a slow motion sequence where the heart-rate slows…. That’s powerful. Especially if Mac gets bit and the heart-beat stops.
November 9th, 2007 at 12:09 am
I dont think you need a fishnet to catch Devian, a couple of chains thrown at her might do the trick, and since TFZ can control them it doesnt seem like a hard thing to do. Dumb girl should get the hell outta there.
The kid seems pissed, and I like how “Big Black” is about to rip the face of the Chainer’ behind him.
?? - How old is the kid anyways? As vamps do not age im just curious to how long most of them have been vamps. Not A.F.P and those but the rest. I dunno if I would villingly be turned into a vampire if one suddenly shows up and asks me if it can have a “drink”?
November 9th, 2007 at 12:11 am
Brilliant job on the comic as always, the facial expressions are just stunning in this last page. I went through and read the comic from the start again just to appreciate all the little details like Devian’s mutiple studs and the dangly earing.
I’m forcing myself not to go through the comments and read spoilers even though I’m dying to find out what happens next! Anyways, I’m off to google the nearest comic store in my area
November 9th, 2007 at 12:58 am
“How old is the kid anyways?”
Don’t know. Older than me at least, I can tell you that.
“As vamps do not age im just curious to how long most of them have been vamps.”
Varies. Average age is probably over 150, but Addison’s extreme age skews those results a bit.
Thanks, Allison.
November 9th, 2007 at 1:26 am
Panels 1,2, and 3= OH NO OH NO
Panel 4= Yeah Devian rocks!
Panels 5 and 6= OH NO OH NO
Panel 7= *brain implodes from rage’s awesome*
Panel 8= getting worried
Panel 9= Whee glowing eye goo!
Panel 10= I feel yah. *worries*
SO much feeling! Every single detail is perfect!
November 9th, 2007 at 4:36 am
Thanks for answering our questions so far, but I have another on vampire specialization… does the blood drunk on becoming a vampire make any difference in abilities? And on a somewhat similar note: Do the vampires contain blood? I realize that it would be impossible to drink it (or they would be, such as when the vampire turned a girl to save her but could not get blood for an hour) but does blood remain in their bodies at all?
Great job on the comic!
November 9th, 2007 at 5:18 am
Aii! x_x; Poor Mac doesn’t have vampire stamina! Hang on, let me run out there and give him a stamina shot… *toddles out into the vampire hoarde to energise Mac up* ^-^
Have the zombies realised he’s human yet? I mean, probably. He’s not being all chained up or anything, so, I guess so?
…Haaanyway. Is it just me, or is the li’l black vamp Melvin from Sore Thumbs? If not, the tennis-ball-head resemblance is uncanny. O_O
Anyways, I’m going to go back into lurk-and-root-for-Math mode. Go Math!
November 9th, 2007 at 5:35 am
I scrolled past so I wouldn’t see any spoilers, so if this suggestion has been made already, I don’t know about it.
Instead of the right slow motion music for each of those expressions my thought would be more of a slow motion flash, one single drumbeat punctuating each one, and flowing into the right music after the last flash.
But then again, I am just a reader and not a comic genius.
Great Job, can’t wait to see how this all unfolds.
November 9th, 2007 at 5:58 am
rage looks like a kid in a candy shop with those chains. i love it.
November 9th, 2007 at 5:58 am
I have difficulties with swallowing. I feel I have become a Klingsor-ish version of April in the last panel. But Val… Val is so beautiful, so strong, so lovely… I’m going to worry about this page until next update.
(Val is to die on the next page, is that correct? My heart will probably break.)
A few days ago I and an ally of mine have talked about how I wouldn’t be that sorry for humankind if they all died, but I would, as soon as I died too, go and look for you in the Underworld so that I can ask what happened then in Last Blood.
November 9th, 2007 at 6:02 am
Do I sound like a crazy fan? I’m not. But anyway.
The blonde vampiress looks sort of pathetic though. I feel sorry for her but slightly despise her as well. Being scared is natural in such a situation, but she COULD be slightly more composed than that.
Yes, yes, I know I am setting my standards too high.
November 9th, 2007 at 6:08 am
I know I’m reiterating what’s been said, but man, Mac is wearing out, and Devian should’ve flown away when she had the chance.
I love the fact that the pigtailed girl and mohawk guy have a great facial reactions (other than the rest’s look of “I’m taking as many down as I can” look). Mohawk looks like he can’t believe he’s caught, while pigtail girl looks like she’s given up hope and surrendered, scared of what’s going to happen next. Hat off to Owen Gieni.
November 9th, 2007 at 6:09 am
Okay, okay. She is composed enough for a situation like this. But if I were to have that expression in my eyes I would be ashamed of myself all the same. I don’t blame her. I really don’t. (I think I only said this and the things before this and everything anyway because I am VERY worried.)
November 9th, 2007 at 6:43 am
I’m taking Airlean’s example in commenting this page:
1st panel = The zombies look like armored monkeys O.o Nooo! Kid vamp prisioner! x_x Someone save him!
2nd panel = Perfect emotional portrayal, I just love how this one came out. Great job, Owen.
3rd panel = Math looks so tired and sort of defeated, I almost didn’t see the way he’s stabbing the zombie. I initially thought “oh, no, they’ve got Math!”, then looked better and sighed in relief, lol. Another great emotional portrayal. Goodness, you’re awesome Owen.
4th panel = Why isn’t Devian flying away with the kids?!
5th panel = Omg… This is the best ever. She looks so helpless, overwhelmed and just perfectly tragic… Gah, Bobby, you’d better give the Prissy vamp role to someone really good with face expressions, cause I want to see this in the movie.
6th panel = Love the angle, just suits him so well… *drools a little*
7th panel = Whoa Rage! He looks like some wild beast, chewing on his chains…*shudder* Scaaary. Though awesome. Cause, c’mon… who can break chains with their teeth besides Rage? XD
8th panel = I love Mac. Even though he looks completely beat, like even moving a finger hurts, he still keeps going, killing and hoping. He’s such a fighter…Great work with his expression, Owen.
9th panel = Oh, yeah, Val! Kick ass! xD Though reading through the previous comments, I’m scared of what might happen to her x_x.
10th panel = April looks increasingly more worried, it’s a perfect end to the scene. She also looks slightly amazed, surprised… I wonder, what is she seeing besides the vamps and zombies fighting? (let me hope xD)
Great page today. I loved it, you guys are genius. Pure genius
November 9th, 2007 at 6:46 am
Talking about the music for the slow-mo sequence, some really low key and toned-down orchestral strings with a heartbeat pace would really set the tone for the piece. And I am not sure about anyone else out there, But I think that Inhale by Stone Sour really fits the mood of the whole story just through its angry/depressed melody. If you disagree, I challenge you to start the song playing while you are reading this comic, preferably at page 10 as mac is leaving. Insanely good plot line, and characters. This would be the only zombie movie that I would feel compelled to see.
November 9th, 2007 at 7:06 am
if Devian and Rage has a kid it would be to much awesome. Imagine a smaller version of rage flying around, that would just be to crazy for the mind to comprhend
November 9th, 2007 at 8:04 am
Hmm, is this evidence of a pre-Bulgaria schaemiac?
November 9th, 2007 at 8:22 am
GO RAGE!
November 9th, 2007 at 9:48 am
1word : terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Dude..i’m pretty sur ei love you lol ^^
Anyway I;’ve been reaidng since around page 70
and seriously i love what you’ve come up with.
its flipping insane.
November 9th, 2007 at 10:51 am
In regards to making a film: This scene has such potential for on screen realization. The whole comic does. I hope you find a good composer to do the movie’s score. A thing about the heartbeat suggestion someone gave: that could backfire because most of the individuals wouldn’t typically be considered to have a heart beat. It could convince everyone watching that Mac’s about to have a heart attack.
In regards to Val’s death: I hated her at first. Not sure if I’d still classify her under ‘bitch status’ but she’s still not my favorite. She redeemed herself a little by ‘apologizing’ to Murdo and asking if there was anything she could do. Learning of her part in this whole fiasco didn’t exactly improve my view of her but, I’ll be sad to see her go. Sullivan’s old war buddy is probably going to do something terribly unpleasant to her.
In regards to Sullivan: MOVE FASTER! There’s only 17 pages left.
In regards to the upcoming end of Last Blood: No!!!!!!!!! I don’t want it to end.
Finally, in regards to the guys who brought us Last Blood: When my friend first introduced me to this comic, I was reluctant at first but became hooked almost immediately. My friend has since stopped following Last Blood but that is her loss. I love this story, concept and the actual artistic execution. GREAT JOB, BOBBY AND OWEN!
[okay, i’m done now, read on]
November 9th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
This may or may not have been said but I’ll mention it anyway. Instead of music wouldn’t it be more chilling by cutting out all the background noise, maybe only hearing the breathing of the character (if we pretend vampires breathe for a minute, blood and oxygen do go hand in hand after all) who’s close-up was on screen.
Just a thought.
November 9th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Just occured to me, and apologies if this has been answered before. What happens if, say, a vampire gets its arm cut off by a giant sheet of metal that stays between the arm and the stump? Would it not reform until the metal moves? Because that would mean that you could cut a vampire into chunks and shove bits and pieces everywhere. Would it boil through the metal? That’d be… odd.
…Or does this have no significance at all?
November 9th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
dude. i just had a terrifying thought. what if a flying vampire became a first zombie? would the zombies fly?
November 9th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Ha. They wouldn’t, no, just like the current zombies don’t have any vampire powers. But that schaemiac could of course fly, which would eliminate all the retarded questions about how he could fly a plane, jeez.
November 9th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
Hey, here’s an interesting question. Well, interesting to me, at least. Devian can fly because she’s a descendant of the first Flying Vampire, and I assume she’s currently the last descendant. But what I’d like to know is, why did that first flying vampire fly? I mean, what made him so special?

A tragic overdose of Red Bull, mistaken for Red Gatorade.

Hey guys awesome comic, just got stuck in recently so I don’t know if you covered this but this would make a kick-ass game. Kinda like Max payne mix BloodRayne and a whole lot of bad ass fight sequences, with such a good story line and clear parts or “missions” (I hate that word) like Mac has to survive when he tries to get supplies or Devian flying and helping Mac. With such a wicked story and being original this would seriously own!
Must say the chain gangs look bad-ass! I know they’r supposed to be the bad guys, but htese guys look cool.
Keep up the excellent work guy, I’m definitely hooked!

>.> To mention the Mohawk vamp the way he’s positioned looks like a zombie is violating him in many unpleasant ways.

Well I remember that you said before that Murdo has super strength as his unique vampire ability so will the chains be able to hold him? If Rage doesn’t(not sure) have super strength and is four times stronger then the strongest human man how powerful will Murdo be? Juggle tanks strong? Or Lift cars strong?
Also since I am such a huge Mohawk vamp fan does he have any particular ability? It may be my inner metal but he seems like the best character there. Tied with Rage of course. and Murdo. Matheson just seems plah. Not bad but Plah. Rage,Murdo,and Mohawk are unique.

“Well I remember that you said before that Murdo has super strength as his unique vampire ability”
I have no memory of that. All vampires are super strong to some degree. Even Devian is much stronger than a normal human of her same height and weight, which isn’t saying much, though (still not strong enough to carry 200 pounds, twice her weight, while flying for 50 miles). Not all vampires have some sort of unique ability. Rage was already very strong before he became a vampire, since he was a professional wrestler who worked out all the time, and becoming a vampire enhances most of your abilities as a human. So if you were already strong, then you’re gonna be super strong, even more than a normal vampire. A “normal” vampire is probably twice as strong as the strongest human in the world of their same height and weight, but it varies from case to case. Devian is weaker than a normal vampire, for example.

see its scenes like this where I always love it when there’s some kinda music you wouldn’t expect, kinda like in the preview for AVP Requiem where all the violence is happening and Silent Night is playing. I think it would be more powerful is a disney song was playing (refrencing the movie the kids are watching). Something maybe like “Part of your World” or maybe sumthin like “Circle of LIfe” or “Hakuna Matata”. To me the contrast between the song and the events is more powerful than emotional music or no sound, though those are powerful too.

The Slow motion is a good idea, but for sounds you either need no music and just the sounds of the battle or something like “It’s a Wonderful World” like Face/Off’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Something so diametrically opposed to the action and the mood that it has to fit. At least, that’s what I would do. What do you have planned?
