  1. I was joking last video when I said either Frankenstien or Werewolf by Night would be next to get me to keep watching. You must really want me to watch all of Moarte's videos this year, well played. 🙂

  2. I love the fight in this issue. We don’t often see Frankenstein and Dracula as equals in media, least of all battling it out like this, especially when usually Frankenstein is the henchman to Dracula and nothing more in films they share.

    Which is a shame it doesn’t happen more often seeing as the two were essentially progenitors of modern horror cinema with both Universal films popularizing the genre back in the 30’s and bringing horror back to popularity in the 40’s when Universal tried distancing themselves from horror, but saw that they couldn’t simply throw away what made them money when a double feature of the two raked in a lot of money.

    Plus they have such a great contrast. One is a tragic, lonely, vagabond aggregate created through science, while the other is an aristocratic, elementally evil being of ancient magic. One is often seen as a brute, while the other a more sophisticated creature that hides its true nature.

    I love the concept of Frankenstein vs Dracula is what I’m saying.

  3. I always liked Marvel's Dracula because of how comically ineffective he is. There was a comic where he met Dr. Doom and Doom literally laughs in his face. It's very rare to see the biggest, baddest Vampire of them all nerfed so much, but he's really more of a minor inconvenience than a genuine threat.

  4. I have the Essentials version and original graphic novel. Since Essentials is all black and white, it makes me nostalgic for the Universal Monster classics. Thank you for showing us that this series existed.
