The story revolves around his battle against a small army of vampires, with only the help of his fellow Vampire Hunters, the beautiful and deadly Carla and the cunning Grost.
It brings the Captain face-to-face with the monstrous Slake, who commands vampires that show (almost) no typical weaknesses (sunlight, crosses, etc).
But what seems like a straightforward story has a few surprises to share, and lots of action and adventure along the way.
With a terrific script by Dan Abnett and powerful, moody artwork by Tom Mandrake (skillfully channelling Gene Colan here), this series has been a blast to read.
It manages to channel the best elements of comics horror in the '70s and '80s into an edge-of-your-seat adventure.
Highly recommended!
