Unless you're talking about living people with porphyria (formerly porphyric hemophilia), which is a different matter (and not what we really consider vampires). Now, as for their appeal, zombies are a great literary metaphor for impending, inescapable doom. Also, they're the monster <i>du jour</i>. I'm sure in a couple of years werewolves will be back in style (since we sort of went through mummies in the mid 90s). I've been meaning to pick up some new graphic novels, and this one looks pretty whiggy. We'll see when the Amazon box arrives. Vampires as we consider them in most stories are undead too.

Michael and Laura produce some of the slickest and most appealing comic art today, IMHO.

I would much rather watch "Zombieland" or "Sean of the Dead" than that "Twilight" drivel. I am usually a Leslie Nielsen and Mel Brooks fan, but I hated "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." OK. The "Underworld" series wasn't bad. Still, zombies are more fun. One more vote for zombies over vampires. I would much rather watch “Zombieland” or “Sean of the Dead” than that “Twilight” drivel.

The art is great, but the writing was just "okay." The story just plodded along when it needed more energy. It's a decent series that deserved to be great.
