Review of 'Dracula, Motherf**ker' on 'Goodreads'

As an experiment with form and color (oof, the coloring in this graphic novel!), it works beautifully. Especially as you read Erica Henderson and Alex de Campi's notes at the back about their intent. As a story, however, it lacks coherence. Nothing in terms of character building, or even plot. It's like a prequel chapter, or an ashcan, if you want the comic-book term, to a longer, more involved story.

Review of 'Dracula, Motherf**cker' on 'Goodreads'

After reading this, my first thought was that I wanted to read it again. Henderson’s choices of color and layout were spectacular and set an otherworldly mood that made me want to see the next page. No disrespect to di Campi but the images really carried the bulk of the story. But the story itself was compelling, and the authors’ take on a well-worn story are worth two reads at the least.
