Universal Monsters: Dracula- Why Are Vampires Considered So Sexy? (not by us)

The Comic Literate Podcast

In this weeks episode, Ryan makes Jamie read the Image limited series, Universal Monsters: Dracula. Written by James Tynion IV, art by Martin Simmonds and lettering by Rus Wooton.

They also go on tangents about comparing it to the original Bram Stoker novel, Dracula as a metaphor for old euroscepticism, why vampires are considered so sexy (again, not by us), and the complete failure of Universal's Dark Universe.
