I loved the original 1992 Anno Dracula novel by British writer Kim Newman. Let’s just get that out of the way, okay? So it stands to reason that I would jump at the chance to review the new comic book Anno Dracula: 1895: Seven Days In Mayhem #1, right? Well, you would correct. And for a fan like me, the comic was pretty much what I would want and expect. But for the first-time reader, not so much.

I must confess that I’m a huge Halloween fan. Really a horror film fan in general, but Halloween has my heart. It was the movie Halloween that made me afraid of the hall closet in my grandmother’s house well into my teenage years. So, when I had the opportunity to review Stefan Hutchinson‘s Halloween: The First Death of Laurie Strode, of course, I jumped at it and gratefully I was not disappointed.

At first look you know you’re in for a ride. There are a variety of covers, Michael with a knife, his reflection in a pool of blood, and one where Michael is holding a human head, but the one they used is striking. It is simply the mask with hair of fire, truly ominous.
