Page 17: Wake Up!
Saturday, September 5th, 2009New page, nice! Flat colors by Kaezrer.
CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE LAST BLOOD COMIC BOOKS AND GRAPHIC NOVELS!
Look, someone stole one of my videos and put it on break.com (front page now) and then that was linked on digg.com and now it’s one of the most popular topics on there. Digg it for fun!
And hey, Last Blood is finally on the iPhone (and iPod Touch), thanks to the new ratings system. Go download the first issue for free! Subsequent issues are $0.99 each, with only the second up so far (more soon).
Follow me and Owen on Twitter!
Go check out Dreamless, my latest comic.

Sleeping vamp’s hands are on backwards when he wakes up… just a heads up.

sweet
September 5th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
YAY! An update!
Love the page! Anonymous is right about the arms being weird, but that is a tough pose to draw and he’s vampire so maybe he can contort himself.
September 5th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Oh wow! I can’t believe I did that! Backwards hands, embarrassing. Lets pretend reverse thumbs are his special ability until I fix it. His guns are specially modified.
September 5th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
YEAH! I’ve been waiting for an update and that one was AMAZING! Well worth the wait!!!
Also, I don’t think I’ve commented on this website… But this comic is AWESOME and the single coolest idea ever! The movie will rock and I can’t wait for it to come out!
Cheers to the creators! (you rock!!!)

Yaaaayyyy!!! Thanks Bobby, Owen and Kaezrer for the new page! It is made of awesome to the third degree!
September 6th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Woo-hoo!! A new page!! I’d so love to see more soon.
September 6th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Woho! \o/ Update!
And a great one as well =oD
September 7th, 2009 at 12:03 am
That’s one way to wake him up. XD
September 7th, 2009 at 8:28 am
Huzzah! Looks like they’re rowing down ole shit creek :/
September 7th, 2009 at 9:36 am
this is my favorite comic.. any actual date for the movie release date?
September 7th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
let’s get it on bro! mac continues his awesomeness.
September 7th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
i’d love to check out the new comic, but i dont think i could handle another one of your sporadically updated comics, i prefer ones that are updated AT LEAST monthly
September 7th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
@Beech
You COULD try being a little grateful that there is even anything this remotely good in existence on the internet. I mean… FREE! And freakin AMAZING! I will wait for updates if they only happen once every six years, this is so good!
September 8th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
This is awesome. So glad the comic updated. Cant wait till the next one.
September 11th, 2009 at 8:17 am
FUCK YAH!!! Now I beg of you please keep updating at least once a week so i can keep my sanity, it’s too good to only get such a small trickle like this, although I suppose a small trickle is better than none at all.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:02 am
You know Beech, I’m sure Bobby will get at you for this…but have you EVER read the comments sections? Taking shots at him for being busy and not going “Oh shit! I have to update my comics! Lets drop anything else I may have or want to do and get down to that!” will not get him to suddenly have magical update powers. Enjoy the releases when they come out, check out other comics, even if they’re not Bobby’s, until then.
September 12th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
@Pi and Anon
He’s got a little winky smile at the end there, he’s partaking in some playful ribaldry not launching an angry tirade against Bobby’s non-existent update schedule. He’s poking fun not “taking shots” calm yourselves.
September 13th, 2009 at 3:33 am
Woah. The venom. Hey, i wasnt “taking shots” or being angry that “he’s busy,” just stating that i don’t like reading stuff that isnt updated regularly, but the problem is, like it or not, i’m hooked on this series even though it isn’t moving nearly quick enough for my tastes. Therefore, instead of getting hooked on another series and chancing the agony of waiting for updates i prefer to find other things on the interweb to draw my attention. This applies to you “concert pi,” you make it sound like this comic is the pinacle of human achievement and there’s nothing else worth reading on the internet. Believe me, i do like this comic, but there IS tons of other stuff on the web as well (including other comics about zombies, and one where they’re against a physician who’s also a ninja).
September 13th, 2009 at 3:56 am
Welcome back guys and thanks for a cool update
September 13th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
AHHH! Dreamless?!? I love that comic, read it all in an hour! I found this after dreamless, and I kept feeling like I had read something that made me feel the same way…duh! same creator! I am a huge fan, keep up the amazing AMAZING work! Jimbo can shut his big fat gob, btw. as long as you update eventually I’m happy!
September 14th, 2009 at 6:11 am
Do like the update cheers mate.
September 14th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
That’s a helluva way to get woke up. Happened to me once, and yeah, knocked my hands clean backwards for about 15 seconds.
Cool update, thanks guys!
September 14th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
ummm this comic is TOTALLY worth
waiting for…especially in
colour =D
September 15th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Nice.
September 16th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
LMAO, that’s one way to wake the dead!
September 19th, 2009 at 6:09 am
Good page! LOL Wake up! That was funny. Too bad that the zombies are active again. That sucks. But I love your comic and this page!
September 21st, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Now I’m just eager to see what Bobby has to say about the ranting and raving…. His capacity for rebuttal is -almost- as amazing as this comic. Long time ready, first time commenter, and honestly, I’ve gone through this series many a time on subsequent visits simply to ready how Bobby replies to these comments. The positive ones make me smile, and the replies to any flames he unduely receives simply leave me giggling. I love it. The man is on my top 5 list of Web-Comic creators, in my honest opinion, and I’ll continue to check back to read his comments, and most importantly, view his work.
Keep on, Good Sir, do what you do.
September 22nd, 2009 at 6:19 am
Nice way to wake up someone, sadly that won’t work with the same efficacy on humans =/
September 24th, 2009 at 3:05 am
Just found this comic a couple of days ago, finally caught-up with the story… Been Hooked all along, Truly brilliant work!
September 27th, 2009 at 3:30 am

EXCELLENT ART!!! i can understand how long it would take to do all of these pictures!! aaah! i would kill to have more pages updated (literally which is really concerning. O.o) but what you guys are doing already is AMAZING!!! even without colour it was so awsum! love the story line, the characters… and this is the first time I’ve ever commented so please peeps… be gentle if your wishing to criticise this as i see you people do to other comments. O.o

I’m so excited!! Terrific job, as always, Bobby and Owen!!
September 28th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
To those new readers: I suggest trying “Marry Me” and “Dreamless” too.

September 30th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
But I’ve been caught up on those comics for the last 3 months Bobby!
I really enjoy all of your comics. They’re only a few of the total I read online, but I always look forward to updates.
October 7th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
“You are.” LOL =D YAY LAST BLOOD IS BAAAACK! Happyhappy. In between updates, I’ve gotten five people hooked on it. =D
October 7th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
@ Beech : Yes! Doctor McNinja is epic.
October 7th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
really hopeing for an update on this one. one can only wish for a run of 4 or 5 updates in a 2 month period but dreams are dreams
October 8th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Hi Bobby,
Emp loves the comic…He commands an update! He is relishing the story but is sick of seeing Mr. Clean every time he clicks on the sitepage. Need any help?
October 12th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Ahh yay. Glad this is getting updated again. I missed it :<
October 14th, 2009 at 5:38 am
I’ve gotten a friend hooked on this comic this week. In one day he read through it all, even going to classes!
October 16th, 2009 at 6:28 am
it’s not too hard to get hooked to this! My sister and I read through it together when i found it. It’s pure awesumness!!!
xx
October 18th, 2009 at 4:14 am
excellent, this battle will look great in the new color I hope.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Too bad that only the zombies will get to see the end of it … as we will freaking die of old age before the next page comes out.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:38 pm
ok dreamless is part of
http://seraph-inn.com
am i missing something every 1 else allready knows ?
October 26th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Wah, I want the killeh killey!
Make the killeh killey happen, Bobby!
Or I’m no longer your best friend. D:
You too, Owen.
Or mebbeh just Bobby.
Owen has pretty pictures. ;D
lotsa love,
But you better hurry up! ;}
October 27th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I just found the Last Blood app on my iPhone, went through it. Liked what I saw. Went to this site and was HOOKED! And now we play the waiting game….
October 28th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Hmmm…when should we expect the next update? Is the author ok? It has been a long time since the last time it was updated. Anyone know the author?
October 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
When WAS the last update? Sorry, I’m knew to this series. This would make a pretty good movie. I hope it would be a movie. I hope Sullivan’s undead army destroys the other zombies. I mean c’mon, zombies with guns seems kinda interesting=)
October 29th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Come on!!!! NEED MORE PAGES been waiting 4 awhile…. I Cant take it anymore!!!!!
October 30th, 2009 at 12:21 am
Well, I have to say that Last Blood’s irregular update schedule may very well be hurting it somewhat. On one hand, this is Mr. Crosby’s comic, and he’s entitled to update whenever he damn well pleases. On the other hand. . .well, this update was on Sept. 5, and I’m only reading it now. In other words, I stopped caring about this comic and only came back to it when reminded by an ad on another comic I was reading.
Frankly, I’m probably going to forget about this comic again. And that’s a shame, because it’s quite good. But if the story doesn’t move along at a regular pace, what’s the point, you know? Other things to do. Given that Mr. Crosby seems to be involved with other projects himself, I’m sure he understands.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:42 am
To the people asking when the last update was … check out the date of the first comment on this page, it might give you a good lead. *wink* *wink*
October 30th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I read it through in one go too. Perhaps I should have taken it slower. But it was sooo gooood! Zombification and Vampyres too? No chance of taking it easy with that combo. Hahaha.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
So I just saw a recent trailer for a movie that sounds a LOT like this comic…can’t remember the name of it and I’m not sure if it’s yours or not.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
DAYBREAKERS! That’s what it’s called…
October 30th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
“ok dreamless is part of
http://seraph-inn.com
am i missing something every 1 else allready knows ?”
I’m the writer of it. Sarah Ellerton draws it. What are you confused about?
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Love the comic, seriously one of my favorites of all time, I’m just wondering if we can expect an update soon or not, either way is cool with me, but if you could give us a heads up Mr. Crosby it would be very appreciated, thanks
-Murphy
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:20 am
there is only one webcomic that can get away with never updating, and yet drawing me back every week or so to check on it. That would be this one.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
wow, finally caught up, took awhile. dude, i love zombies and i love vampires (not the gay ass twilight versions though), and i abso-fucking-lutely love this comic. i’ll be on the look out for it the next time i got to a book store. i hope the movie turns out well.
November 5th, 2009 at 11:45 am
ya know, mac is honestly the most awsome character… besides francis(awsomely a whiny little bitch), then its rage.
come now ‘i want to check just how awsome i am’ and then waking up vampires with a bullet to the chest?! wtf amazin, jest amazin
if grady and mac were in one vamp body… rage would be blown out of the water.
November 5th, 2009 at 11:49 am
in regaurds to the guy that posted before me… i love humans, imagine what kind of people they were like before being vamps.
i could see val as a hooker, but not one of the hookers with a heart… just kinda fits… francis as a peeping tom, and rage as a typical happy-go-lucky serial-killer/neckbreaker.
November 8th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I find it sad that its taken you about 5 months to put up a single page. You’ve neglected all your comics and fans, and disapeared to do god knows what. Whatever happened to the movie deal? Or the script? Everything seems to be barely updated and its taken over a year to get, what has it been, 4-5 pages? Year and a half maybe.
Bobby, your a disappointment
November 8th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
You haven’t been reading “Dreamless” apparently (37 pages since January). And there’s been seven “Last Blood” pages this year, not four or five in a year and a half. There’s been 14 “Marry Me” pages this year and 20 “+EV” strips. That’s 78 total comic pages in the past 10 months. Still not very much, but a lot more than you’re saying. Been busy trying to launch a bunch of other projects and working on film/TV possibilities.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Just curious, how can someone steal a video that you put up for free on the internet?
November 8th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Allan: Don’t understand the question. What do you mean? Same way they can steal these comics and put ‘em on their own site or print ‘em and sell ‘em. The guy who put my video on Break made $400 from that apparently.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:31 am
“Steal” implies that there was some degree of ownership. Since it’s in the free section of the site (I assume) that means you were distributing it free. If someone took something you were giving away, and managed to spin money out of it, isn’t that a good thing for them? It’s like an artist buying a can of baked beans and using the label in an artwork they do. Sure, they didn’t make the label, but they used it in a creative way.
Unless he claimed the video was his, or that he made it, can’t really steal something that is being given away for free.
November 9th, 2009 at 4:17 am
What the fuck are you talking about? I shot the video, I caught the ball, I posted it for people to enjoy on YouTube, then this guy posts it on another site and makes money off it. Obviously it’s a good thing for THEM, while it’s obviously a very annoying thing for me. (It’s also kind of cool to see that it’s so popular, but annoying that this thief would not contact me about it at all or offer any of the money to me.) Are you the one who stole it or what???
And this is just what the fuck: “It’s like an artist buying a can of baked beans and using the label in an artwork they do.”
How is it in any conceivable way like that?
“Sure, they didn’t make the label, but they used it in a creative way.”
What? They didn’t alter the video in any way — they simply stole it and posted it on a different site where they made $400 off it. You’re calling someone who steals the video and posts it on another site an ARTIST???
“Unless he claimed the video was his, or that he made it, can’t really steal something that is being given away for free.”
LOL, what. So you think there’s nothing wrong with the guy who recently used a ton of webcomics without permission in an iPhone app that he was selling? He never claimed that he made the comics, but he had to quickly remove the app when the creators of the comics found out and threatened to sue him because he was doing something very illegal.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Stumbled upon the comic a few days ago and I haven’t been able to stop reading it since. Can’t wait for another update.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Bobby C. I just wanted to say thx for the amazing comic. I really hope it gets a TV/Film treatment. I understand that you are busy and hope you find time in your busy schedule to continue this amazing story.
One last thing, in regards to the worries about a viable gene pool for the human survivors, tho they run the risk of lower genetic diversity and recessives traits they do have more then enough people to create a viable gene pool as shown by this article where a 400 person tribe has been shown to have descended from at most 5 original founders.

November 14th, 2009 at 12:01 am
Just stumbled across Last Blood the other day, had a mammoth reading session – love every page of it. Would definitely go to see a movie adaptation! Thanks Bobby!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:18 am
I don’t know about the legality of it, relevant laws on that change across states, let alone cross-countries. However, I fail to see the immorality of it. To my eyes (and I do recognise I am working from only my perspective, which is limited) you seem jealous. Justifiably so, but I don’t see how getting aggravated will change anything.
As for my artist analogy, there was an artist in the 70’s who was big into that sort of thing, very successful. I can’t call his name to mind at the moment, I’m afraid, maybe someone who is good on art history could chime in?
November 15th, 2009 at 3:32 am
Jeez. It’s clear now that you have some sort of problem with your brain.
“there was an artist in the 70’s who was big into that sort of thing, very successful.”
What’s with more artist talk??? What don’t you understand about this? Do you still think this person altered the video in some way? All he did was steal my video from YouTube and post it on his Break account as if he owned it and he cashed in $400 from it because the footage I shot was popular enough to make the front page of the site. But you somehow “fail to see the immorality of it.” And “jealous,” what the fuck. That’s like telling a victim of a robbery that they’re jealous of the criminal who stole their TV and sold it. Anyway, no more posts from you.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Hey, I’d like to point out to anyone here claiming that Bobby is ‘A disappointment’ or any of that shit; since when is it your right to receive regular updates to a Free, Online Comic? You don’t exactly pay him to update; so your not losing out on anything here. It’s nobody’s Job just to create constant amusement for you people, So be thankful that you’ve already got so many Last Blood pages, as well as all those ‘Marry Me’s, +EVs, Dreamless, Godmode, and whatever the hell else you want to read.
If you’re only reading this one comic, and your annoyed that it’s so irregular; That’s like expecting a new Starwars movie every month, and then complaining to Lucas’ That he hasn’t produced one in the ridiculously short span of time they’ve given him. Because obviously it’s his duty in life to make others happy at his expense…
Oh and Allan. What the Fuck man.
November 16th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
This has to be among the best vampire-related anything of all time. I’m just sorry this one, the very best of the writer’s various projects (not that Dreamless or Marry Me for instance are bad), has to suffer for others to succeed.
Like the vampires this comic is about, Last Blood should visciously and violently suck the resources out of less awesome projects and take the web comic world by storm with a sereis of incredible new updates!!!!!
November 16th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Mr. Crosby, as far as I know, it’s amoral, but not illegal, to make money off of the free work of someone else, as long as the original work is not passed off as being created or designed by the profiteer. As far as I know, if you aren’t losing money by them making money, there’s nothing you can do unless they put thier name on it.
If he/she is trying to pass it off as his/hers, or he/she is somehow depriving you of profits, then he/she may have a lawsuit on his/her hands if you so chose to pursue it. If this does occur, I wish you the best of luck, and hope the accused thief is left penniless
November 16th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I never said the video stealing was illegal, but it’s definitely illegal to take these comics and profit off them without permission obviously.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Technically It’s Piracy. Somebody else manufacturing something they don’t own, or have rights to; and making a profit for it.
And anybody who’s got a DVD player knows that Piracy in any form is a Crime. Mostly people don’t care, Movie directors get hundreds of billions from their films. But considering Crosby’ doesn’t do this for profit, and it’s all he and Owen’s Handywork making these comics; It’s beyond anybody’s morality to steal that.
You wouldn’t steal a handbag…
Would you steal a handstiched, hand-embroidered handbag that the old Lady spent a week and a half making?
If so you’re a sick fuck…
November 17th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
“But considering Crosby’ doesn’t do this for profit, and it’s all he and Owen’s Handywork making these comics”
I don’t do the videos for profit, but I certainly do the comics for profit. Four issues of “Last Blood” and the graphic novel were all distributed by Diamond to comic stores everywhere, plus we make money from ads on this site (and the books we sell on the site), and don’t forget movie deals:
