Vampires!
OK, Daredevilers, get out your Pitch Black Day Scorecard because you can now officially cross one mystery off the list: “What the heck are those Fish-Men?” However, as is sometimes the case, the resolution of one mystery creates another. Now the question is, “What the heck are Vampires doing at the bottom of the ocean?” All will be revealed in good time, dear reader…all in good time.
Also, this page marks the triumphant return of Abigail Singer, our mysterious female passenger. She makes a pretty spectacular last minute save here, but questions about her still hang in the air. “Is she friend or foe, and what are her true motives behind chartering this perilous voyage?”
Speaking of questions…”What in the BLUE HELL happened to DOC?” If Joe nearly got eaten on the “safe” side of the blast doors, then what unimaginable horrors are befalling Doc on the side of the doors that is chock full of VAMPIRES?!

Welp, it’s been a ridiculous day here at the Heistand household. Woke up at 5:30am to a screaming toddler covered in vomit, and a couple hours later she decided to spread the love and blew chunks all over yours truly. Oh, and it’s my 7th wedding anniversary…yep, you guessed it, dinner plans got scrapped. Bummer. Love ya, Amy, here’s to better luck next year!
Oh yeah, read the Sunday Bonus Lunch . It’s good for you and tastes good too…
Anyways, till next week!

A wonderful place for vampires, no sunlight.
Abigail Singer looks like a badass!
I hope Doc had some garlic bread for lunch.
Happy Anniversary, hope the little one feels better soon. Been there done that.
Thanks, T. Gatto.
Little Jeannie is feeling much better already, thankfully.
And, yeah, here’s hoping Doc decided to use his Holy Water cologne this morning. Heh.
So THAT’S what that taste was all about!!! I never guessed it… but garlic does improve it considerably…
Sorry I couldn’t make it (even though I invited myself).
Did you cook them yourself, or just stake them and let them self ignite?
Also, since they are (likely at least) descended or transformed from land dwellers, are they considered sea food (thus I could have some on Fridays during Lent).
I suppose there’s a certain irony in a human BBQing and eating a Vampire…
This is some seriously creepy Nosferatu business! It also explains a lot. I’m guessing but the creature was after joe because they prefer younger targets who’d more likely survive the transformation process? I mean panel 2 shows this one is REALLY focused and showing unusual coordination compared to the rest.
In your comment on Page 2 about the hammer and stakes, I can imagine you were SO CLOSE to typing the word Vampire!
Please excuse me for promptly changing the subject at the time.
I´m a really Nosferatu fan!
For me Murnau´s film is still one of the best horror movies of all times
Underwater Vampires?!! NICE! I didn’t see that but I can’t wait to see where this goes!!
I knew this story would be right up your alley, Rich…as you know a thing or two about spooky monsters.
Good reveal, guys — on both the vampires and the lethal nature of the deceptively delicate Abigail. So have we determined whether or not vampires need to breathe? They don’t need to breathe, right? Why bother? Living underwater would be a piece of cake for them. So, technically, you could have vampires on the moon. Moon Vampires. I’m trademarking it right now for my next comic. -v
Thanks, Vince.
Honestly, I never thought about whether or not Vampires need to breathe. You’d think that would be something to consider when writing about underwater freaking vampires!
However, if you look closely, Danilo definitely put gills onto all of the Fish Vamps, so maybe they breathe water…or maybe the gills are kind-of just there but don’t do anything, like nipples on a guy (weird analogy, sorry).
Anyway, I am totally bummed that you trademarked Moon Vampires before us. But, I just trademarked Dark Side of the Moon Vampires…it’s going to be a live stage show set to the music of Pink Floyd. Deal with it.
I believe that they do breathe.
However, they are dead, and they stopped breathing before turn to the stage of vampirism… so I think they could spend some time in a kind of suspended animation.
About theese ones, they are amphibian vampires.
Mer-vampires. “Obviously.”
And of course, she couldn’t just mention that little fact to the Captain ahead of time. *sigh*
