Collects X-Men: Apocalypse/Dracula #1-4. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Fun and forgettableDracula, legendary lord of the Vampires. Apocalypse, immortal mutant menace. What happens when they meet in Victorian England? This book introduces some interesting ideas including a clan of Apocalypse descendants who inherit some of his power and tells a fairly straightforward story of battles between these two immortal foes. It isn't profound, it isn't particularly original. And it's far from essential. But it is fun. I would not pay cover price for it but if you ...

Most of the graphic novels are 2 -3 times the price of a paperback! This one was no different. The worst thing about it is the length. The story, artwork, content are all great but the story is just to short. I would recommend it just for the content. It shows these characters in a new way and it peaked my interest in both characters again.
