Vampirella may be over 45 years old from its original publication in the late 1960s, but Dynamite Entertainment has had rights since 2010 submitting many new installments along the way. Now several miniseries, one shots, and ongoing monthlies later, they have reached their 100th issue. What better way to celebrate than to unleash an anthology style tome utilizing many of the writers who have been a part of that rich and bloody heritage over the past few years since Dynamite’s run.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but man, this new story arc in Red Sonja has a real dark feel about it. Sure, The She Devil has had moments of darkness during writer Gail Simone and artist Walter Geovani’s run. But with those moments, there was always some equal moments of humor and a lighter feel.

We have now come to Issue #5 of Dark Horse Comics’ graphic depiction of Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s third book of The Strain Trilogy. Entitled The Night Eternal, in reading and viewing the images, you will find that there could be no better or more appropriate title. This installment is a downer. No doubt about it. Human kind, and even vampire kind have been utterly swallowed up by The Master and his devious dealings. The guy (make that the “It”) that is The Master has for all intents and purposes, won. There is nothing more to fight for. Earth is doomed. Or is it?
