"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.

I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

A big step up from last couple issues. Basically the war breaks out and finally some causalities. I assume now the vamps and humans will team up against a bigger enemy.

I wish there was more to Barbara Gordon as the Vampire Queen. Dick Grayson still retained so much that felt unique to him while also being realistically terrible as the Vampire King. He had his fixation on Starfire and wanting his brothers with him, enough trust in his love for Barbara that it made him vulnerable enough for her to usurp him, and of course a very Nightwing flair for the dramatic. But there’s nothing about Barbara as the Vampire Queen that still comes through as Barbara. She’s not making particularly smart decisions, and she relies too much on others whose loyalty she hasn’t earned to follow her orders (exhibit A: Arthur). This could have called back to Oracle, if we saw that she was strategic about who she tasked with what. Instead she comes off like a generic spoiled royal who thinks she’s untouchable.

I read this independently from the greater storyline, as I bought my copy for the beautiful Mark Spears variant cover. Despite being part of a larger whole, every character's motivation was clear, even gripping in some cases, and their activities made sense.

This is sooooo good. The strong storyline, a huge battle, a massive new villain appears. I love the DC Vs Vampires series.
The Animal-Man short at the end was very intriguing. Hoping he gets his own series again soon.

One of the best series ever! Love everything about it!

It's good, but I'm also kind of getting bored. It feels a bit repetitive. We'll see what happens next!
