This is a ridiculous book, which should be obvious from the title alone. Sadly, however, it's a pale imitation of what could have been an amazing comic. It's a mix of Lovecraftian horror and "the old mad occult scientist" seeking immortality tropes mashed up with a Batman detective story and Superman randomly punching stuff. It never rises above the tropes to truly horrific or interesting. And there are some nitpicky things that bothered me such as Batman slaying vampires! (which seems out of character for him as he is opposed to killing and vampires after all are former humans). But, if you accept this as the B-movie script it is, it's fairly entertaining. It's basically Hammer Horror meets the DC Universe. Corny, fun, but not great.… (mere)
