"He tastes disgusting.""Blood keeps you young and beautiful, darling. Drink!"Pulpy, campy writer Alex de Campi writer pens another homage to seventies movies and comics with this tale that both remains true to its roots--slasher films, Dracula, blaxploitation, that whole mix--complete with jarring juxtapositions of color and updates all this to include a revenge plot against Drac by the young women he has taken with a nod to #metoo, and the Jeffery Epstein and Harvery Weinstein real life horrors...

Visually staggering from beginning to end with a truly original color palate but it's a slight read without much story. I know this is in the tradition of stuff like 30 Days of Night but ultimately I just wanted a little more to go with this great art and concept.

I received an ARC copy of this book from EdelweissThere was a lot of potential here but it really just needed to be about twice as long as it actually was. I loved the art style and character designs and the concept was really good as well, but I feel like I almost didn't know what was supposed to be happening most of the time until I read the author's note at the end.

Review originally posted in issue #66 of SCREAM Magazinehttps://wayopay.com/p/scream-issue-66......Quincy Harker is a crime scene photographer in Los Angeles, CA during the1970s. Lately, he seems to find no shortage of work as dead bodies are showing up everywhere. Harker takes full advantage of Hollywood’s bloodlust by aggressively photographing the grisly details in order to sell them to the highest bidder. What he doesn’t know, is that someone has awakened the legendary vampire, Dracula and h...

2.5 starsWe all know I'm always here for vampires so naturally I was interested in one of the og vamps being brought into the 1970s LA scene. A total vibe.Sadly there was really no depth to this story and without the character studies at the end I wouldn't have even known the names of majority of them. However I did love the visuals. Erica Henderson has done an amazing job, especially with colour, to really give this graphic novel something to hold on to.*ARC provided by Edelweiss for an honest

2.5 stars. I know this book is listed as 72 pages but I promise it felt like 20. Feel like I blinked and this thing was over. I mean before I could start piecing together what was happening, I was at the end. The story moves fast as hell without any backstory as to why everything went down. I didn’t develop any connection with any of the characters. It starts off in 1889 with Dracula’s brides locking him away without any explanation as to why or how that got the drop on him to do it. Literally n...

Yeesh, I really didn't take to this messy vampire story at all. Indulgently bizarre styling comes with an excessively short run-time (the creators' notes on the bonus pages almost taking as long as the rest of this thin book), but it still nearly got ditched. So, bravura, or just ugly? Just hope you can see enough of a preview, or that the store has an unsealed copy, before any cash is parted with.

The story is a bit loose and it fits together like a psychedelic fever dream. For most stories, that would be a bad thing, but it works here. The disjointed nature of the story creates a sense of disorientation that adds to the sense of horror. The real standout here is the art. The use of color here is so vivid and vibrant, and it is a joy to look at.

Apparently this wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I greatly enjoyed it! I think de Campi herself put it best in the closing notes that it's both serious and not serious at the same time. This is a fresh perspective on something that has long been an accepted cultural trope, but should we always be satisfied with that? Our author doesn't think so, and gave us this new take to question it. Is it over-the-top? Sure, but that's part of what makes it such fun. The psychedelic art, the color choices,

Genuinely gorgeous, fantastically psychedelic art work can't save this plotless, very confusing retread of a story that's been reimagined so many times we've all lost track. Its the 70's and Quincy Morris the nightcrawler photographer somehow captures photos of a Dracula's brides and gets caught up in a centuries long battle between vampires. This took about four seconds to read which says something both about the pace and lack of story. I did not know what was going on and I did not especially

Loved the high concept, didn't really enjoy the actual story. Fantastic cover and fascinating coloring inside the book.The story was hard to follow. There were times when I just couldn't figure out what was happening. Then it just ended. Mostly it was a bummer.

Like Snakes on a Plane, the work just cannot live up to the title it has stumbled upon.The author and artist say in the end matter that they are trying to be more free and experimental, but de Campi gives us a nothing vampire story and Henderson hides her pencils under some ugly ass coloring. Disappointing.

Too short

The back material from author and artist was really interesting but the rest of the book was just kind of ok.

Ultra cool looking mishmash of one of the most beloved turn of the century (19th, to be clear, not 20th--and also in my Top Ten of All Time) novels AND sex- and ex-ploitation films of the 1970's. But when the speed of the narrative itself makes things similar to a movie capturing a scene every 3 or 5 minute interval, missing so much in between. The colors and textures, while by an artist who is radical yet exquisite, her dreams come to life (such a different look to this sci-horror graphic novel...

1970s Los Angeles, city of vampires. Harker (lol!) is a freelance news photographer, who specialises in photographing crime scenes of grisly murders. Dracula is a faceless evil force with lots of eyes and lots of teeth. His 'brides' see in Harker a chance to take down ol' Drac.The story isn't very interesting, I'm afraid. The idea of Dracula's victims turning against him is nice, but it's basically the only idea here.A lot more interesting is Erica Henderson's art, which is quite different from

The title is far more campy than the actual narrative, which is a grim, violent noir. Honestly, I had low expectations based on the title. It's basically "Snakes on a Plane" - okay, you've caught my attention, now show me something worth my time.Dracula, Motherf**ker is worth your time. It's the typical Dracula narrative but focused on his victims, the "brides." Alex de Campi offers a smart update on the historically handsome, suave vampire by making this creature of the night literally an amorp...

When a Hollywood party results in Dracula being wakened from his deathly sleep, Quincy Harker, police photographer, is in way over his head. Even with the help of some mysterious women, can Quincy avoid being Dracula's next meal?I've been following Alex de Campi on the Twitter since reading Archie vs. Predator and Erica Henderson since she started live tweeting old Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes. When these two bad asses teamed up, I was powerless to resist.Dracula, Motherf**cker is a seque...

A great showcase for career-best Erica Henderson art, but de Campi's script left me cold. Too much clunky dialogue, and a pace that's way too frantic. As a reader, you want to slow down and luxuriate in Henderson's colors and layouts, but as a writer, de Campi seemed to be racing towards the finish line, as if she couldn't finish the project fast enough.

“Dracula, Motherf*cker!” Is, by far, the quickest read I have read in a long time. I literally read it, front to back, during a 15-minute break at work.That’s not meant to be bragging, that’s just stating a fact. Take it as you will. It’s simply meant to illustrate that “Dracula, Motherfucker!” Is a quick read.Which isn’t to say that it’s a simple read. Or a vapid read. Neither of those descriptors would accurately describe this graphic novel.If anything, Alex de Campi and Erica Henderson’s Tech...
