LAST BLOOD #4 Cover
Thursday, July 12th, 2007Last Blood #4 will include pages 81 to about 110 and it will end the first graphic novel and the first film’s story. Look for the web site to start updating with new pages three times per week again beginning next week. The last page of the first graphic novel should run in mid-November and the comic will only continue if orders for Last Blood #3 and Last Blood #4 are much higher than the orders were for Last Blood #2, so CALL YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOPS AND DEMAND THAT THEY CARRY LAST BLOOD! Last Blood #3 is in the current issue of PREVIEWS, Diamond’s catalog.
And if you missed Last Blood #1, you can now order it directly from this site.

Long time reader, first time poster.
I love this Web comic. But then I like the idea of Vampires at war with Zombies.
Keep up the good work guys!
Ooooh is that the first zombie?
July 12th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Yeah – thats the First Zombie alright – a crazy rotten vampire..
I had a thought… he was headshot by Murdo on one of the first pages, survived the bullet – just to be close to the last survivors and his grandchild…
right or wrong?
=D
Bobby – would you need any help translating this stuff, maybe to publish this comic to Poland or maybe Germany.
July 12th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Is it safe to assume that vampirism isn’t passed on genetically, or (in the alternative) that TFZ became a zombie sometime after fathering children? I’m just trying to do the math in my head and trying to figure out how many generations separate him and April and why April is human even though she’s descended from a vampire.
July 12th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
TFZ was born a human and was turned into a vampire after having the child who would end up being April’s father or mother. And he became a zombie one month ago after not drinking any blood for 65 years.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
🙁 i was hoping a comic update
July 12th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
As for vampires having children, I think Bobby has mentioned before that most vampires on Earth were BORN that way( I could be wrong), indicating that vampires can reproduce, but do so only sparingly, considering there are only about 50 vampires on Earth. I’m not sure about the born part, but I do remember Bobby saying that Math is one of the few (or is it only?) vampires on Earth who started out as human. Which means they have SOME form of reproduction(I think). Which means vampire are perhaps not technically “undead”( if I’m right about the reproducing/being born thing). Oh, I’m not sure if anybody has asked this yet, Bobby, but are your vampires creatures born of magic, or science? Or would you rather not specify?
July 12th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
sweeeeeettttttt the entire TFZ thing is cool but me no likey TFZs haircut…
only the first film!!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One Question to Mr. Crosby: when you say first film how many are in this storyline? thanks for the comic your awesomeness
July 12th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
“when you say first film how many are in this storyline?”
Who knows. Would like to do at least three. No absolute guarantee of even doing one, though, at this point.
“I think Bobby has mentioned before that most vampires on Earth were BORN that way”
I don’t recall saying most. I’ve said that some are born vampires and some are made vampires.
“I’m not sure about the born part, but I do remember Bobby saying that Math is one of the few (or is it only?) vampires on Earth who started out as human.”
I don’t recall that, but anyway, TFZ was born human.
“but are your vampires creatures born of magic, or science?”
You mean like how the very first vampire ever was born/created? No clue, doesn’t come into play in the story.
July 12th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
so TFZ has gone 65 years without eating, been sot in the head, lost an eye, half his face and also appears to have a severe dent in his skull.
Is it safe to say he’s not firing on all cylinders?
July 13th, 2007 at 1:45 am
Could it be that TFZ just killed nearly all humans because he wants revenge for his turning into a vampire? When there’s no blood, there’s no Vampire…?
July 13th, 2007 at 4:28 am
awesome cover, really gross!!
July 13th, 2007 at 5:44 am
Re: The cover:
Cooooool!
Which is basically what I said once the picture finished loading.
Comment #1: Sorry to have missed a few episodes, but is it official now that April is TFZ’s living descendant? Aw darn. I was kinda hoping it was Murdo…
Comment #2: Vampires can have kids? Does that have to be both parents vamp, or can it be just one? In any case it has to be obscenely rare or there would be a lot more than 50 vamps out there.
Comment #3: Easy way to explain the origin of vamps without having to explain the mechanisms by which they do their stuff – Atlantis.
Obviously the island sank after someone detonated the main reactor core as a last ditch way to stop a zombie horde from spreading to the mainland. Assume a surviving vamp or three who were not high enough rank to know the Great Secrets and you have a nearly perfect Vampire Genesis.
Obviously there are other ways it could be explained, but even if there is a vamp still alive that was there when it happenend they likely wouldn’t remember. The human brain (however modified) can only hold so much information.
July 13th, 2007 at 5:58 am
“is it official now that April is TFZ’s living descendant?”
I’ve spoiled that several times now, but anyway, TFZ is April’s grandpa.
“Vampires can have kids? Does that have to be both parents vamp, or can it be just one?”
They can have kids. Not sure/don’t care about if it needs to be both parents or not. Doesn’t come into play in the story.
Not gonna do any Atlantis type thing because I don’t plan on ever revealing the origin of vampires at all — just not necessary.
July 13th, 2007 at 7:00 am
Aww. And here I was hoping that the Atlantians would come out of their hidden city of the ocean in a furious rage of Zombie-hunting rage with lots of pewpew and splatsplat and dead zombies thank you very much!
Yeah, I haven’t posted in awhile. Miss me? 😀
July 13th, 2007 at 7:43 am
Love the comic. Its too bad that im moving and wont have a conection to the internet anymore. 🙁 (runs down to the local library with her laptop to check for updates) hehehe that don’t mean that its going to stop me from reading!
July 13th, 2007 at 9:35 am
A new cover, didn’t the last one have a plane crashing into zombies, ahem, plane-zombies?
July 13th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
Finally back, and I love the front cover! Also, he’s pretty attractive for an old-man-vampire-turned-zombie-who-was-rotting-and-just-shot-in-the-head.
Mmm. I’d get a piece of that action (if it didn’t involve getting my throat torn out).
Also, a thought just occured;; I wonder if the first girlie he bit went into a fit when she found out that he was biting other women.
“What? I THOUGHT I WAS SPECIAL!”

Heh. I was just throwing my favorite theory about where vampires came from out there to be a little silly. Given your past history of quality work, I am sure that if you ever decide to tell us where they came from in your universe it will be quite an epic tale.
Question: Are we ever going to see any prequel stories other than what happened to send TFZ over the edge?
July 13th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
ROFL! @ Neca
Wow, Bobby. I just read through this entire thing in one sitting, and it’s nothing short of absolutely amazing. The art, the characters, the story, it’s all great. Mad props.
July 13th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
Raikoh, give the props to Owen Gieni for the art!
“Are we ever going to see any prequel stories other than what happened to send TFZ over the edge?”
Well you’re not even gonna see that unless the issues #3 and #4 get a ton more orders, so make sure to call every comic store remotely near you and demand that they carry “Last Blood.” The goal is to tell many different prequel stories, yes, as I think I’ve said many times before.
July 13th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
umm necavi your are scaring me very much…
July 13th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
@Neca: LOL!
An awesome cover, Owen! I love the one glowing eye. Very creepy.
July 13th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
What would be nice is also having this comic in one big book instead of just 5 smaller ones, sort of a novel with graphic pictures in it instead of just words.
We could call it a Big Picture Book.
July 13th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
he sure looks happy
July 14th, 2007 at 5:47 am
If I was a zombiefied vampire, I would definitely go for TFZ.
I can picture it now… Me as an ordinary vampire (bitten looong time ago) and him as.. himself.. in a motel.
Me: I see you have fangs. That must mean that you are a vampire, such as myself.
TFZ: Nghhryyhhfh…
Me: Well, I take that as a ‘yes’ then. Where are you from, anyway?
TFZ: Aaaugrhhr..
Me: Arkansas, huh? Get out of here! I’m from Arkansas too!
TFZ approaches me (as he is madly insane and cannot stop his driven instinct to bite/eat me) TFZ: Auuuhhhggr..
Me: Yeah, I know, the fact that we are from the same part of the world DOES draw our to each other! And you are hot too, that means two thumbs up! If I didn’t know any better..
TFZ bits me in the neck.
Me: Okay, I know that I speak too much when I get excited, but come ON! Bite me on our first date? You’ve got some guts, man!
TFZ: Hnnngyuyh…
Me: Well, if you insist, we can go to my room. Or well..I insist that we go. Now. I’ve got this weird feeling in my body..
Moments later, we would be Mr and Mrs TFZ.
July 14th, 2007 at 6:02 am
How’s Owen feeling?
July 14th, 2007 at 7:19 am
He had strep throat after hurting his back, so he’s been in a world of hurt, but he should be all better pretty soon hopefully. Next page up on Tuesday probably.
irinisa: Just to let you know, TFZ can talk just fine and we’ll hear a lot from him in issue #4!
July 14th, 2007 at 7:44 am
Poor guy. Owen, feel better soon. Your fans miss you and wish you well.
July 14th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
irinisa: LMFAO.
If everybody wants to know, TFZ is really Math who travelled forward in time and became the SuperJesus General of the 404th Regiment of Piefighter ShockTrooper, fought the evil Bunny cyborgs of Altair IV, conquered Pluto and discovered why they make hot dogs in packages of 10 and hot dog buns in packages of 8. The resulting subatomic temporal paradox ripped a hole in the spacetime continuum hurling him back to the past, where he became trapped in a conveniently located coffin at the bottom of the ocean. Or maybe I’m making this up. Since Bobby’s not telling (yet), I could be right. Right?
PS. TFZ is rocking a serious combover. Hasn’t he heard of Rogaine?
July 14th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
Vo
I KNOW I KNOOOOWWWWW its cause they want you to buy 4 packages of buns and 5 packages of hot dogs or its cause their evil either one works
no i dont think he has heard of rogaine sadly…
July 15th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
Hey, don’t bash my man. He may be hideous on the outside with a distastefully out of style Trump, but on the inside he has a maggot-filled heart just bursting with love *cough*foreatingpeoplealive*cough*.
July 15th, 2007 at 3:36 pm

July 15th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
I got into this comic from the FCBD comic. Since then I ordered the print issues from the diamond previews book. I just wanted to give my support for what I consider to be a really good story. I think this book would make a good ongoing series and could even rival walking dead. However, you guys have been doing a terrible job at keeping updates in a timely manor. Sometimes there is so much time in between pages that I forget about or loose interest in the comic.

July 16th, 2007 at 5:38 am
TFZ CAN TALK!? ME IS HAPPY!
we would get lovely kids…
July 16th, 2007 at 7:38 am
Bobby, how can we order issue 2? You said earlier you were going to be getting them from the printers but there’s no place we can order them from on the website. *plots to boost sales of issues 3 and 4*
July 16th, 2007 at 7:42 am
I don’t have any of issue #2 yet — they’ll be in stores on Wednesday — most important thing is for you to go buy them at your local stores if you ever want an issue #5 to be made at all! But within a few weeks or so I’ll probably have issue #2 available for sale on the site.
July 16th, 2007 at 10:35 am
That’s it, Irinisa;; he’s my man. If you want him, you’ll have to get through me.
*takes out the gauntlet*
Engaurd!
-Neca
PS
He’s, a, ah, blank shooter.
Sorry to dissapoint.
*shifty look*
July 16th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Girls, Girls. He’s a zombie. He’s not bound by basic human recovery times. There’s more than enough decomposing, festering, rotting, maggot-filled love to go around. Until it falls off.
I can’t believe I just said that. I’m gonna go bleach my cerebral cortex.
July 16th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
Am I the only one who sees an uncomfortable resemblance to Math?
July 16th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
Yeah, theres a resemblance to Math, mostly in the teeth however. :-Þ
July 17th, 2007 at 11:49 am
Once you are turned into a vampire, you stop aging. makes sense that vampires will not have children, otherwise their babies would remain that way forever. or maybe in embrionic state 😛
July 17th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Wow, how out of the loop am I?
When was it revealed that April is TFZ’s grandchild?
July 18th, 2007 at 6:12 am
Some time ago in comments…
I wish there was an update soon
July 18th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Officially, in the comic, they haven’t revealed it. But our good man Bobby here decided to spoil us. Yey!
But in all honesty, you haven’t missed much plot-wise. Other than Jimmy turns into a zombie and tears his own mother’s throat out. Oh, and MM will die. Slowly. Buaha.
Ta!

Wait a minute…
that… hair…
HITLER!
May 30th, 2009 at 10:49 am
he looks a bit like me… I have an assymetric haircut too, well, it WAS assymetric (one side long one side short not completely gone, like 3cm long tops i think) now it’s only long on top of my head and short around (again 3cm) but it still falls like zombieboy here only with more hair, and blonde 🙂
I wish someone could make a zombiefied version of me -hint?- or a vampire, I always wondered how much it would influence my appereance… a drawn version of me (and ex-human, i’d like to know both :p)
