Welcome to Subsylvania!
So, I wish I could have seen your faces when you clicked here this morning/afternoon/evening. Somehow, I don’t think you were quite expecting Subsylvania to be a marvelous domed complex at the bottom of the ocean, complete with a re-creation of Castle Dracula! But then, Dracula is THE prototypical Super-Villain, so maybe some of you suspected that his tastes would veer into “over-the-top lair” territory. Regardless, Subsylvania proves that while the Daredevils may be the world’s premier explorers of the ocean, Dracula is its MASTER, having bent its unimaginable forces to his will.
Anyway, we’ve gone full JAMES BOND here as Doc plays it tough while Dracula monologues all over the place, bringing us up-to-speed on his evil machinations. The plot is starting to come into focus, and over the next couple of weeks all the “whos” and “whats” will be laid out on the table. And, as this page teases, there is a lot more going on than meets the eye…
Be here NEXT WEEK as two master strategists match wits 4000 fathoms below the waves. It’s Dracula, the Prince of Darkness vs. Doc, the world’s Greatest Man of Science for ALL THE MARBLES! In just 7 days find out who will come out on top and whose jaw will be left hanging on the deck. Make sure to RSS, Like, Follow, and spread the word about the Deep Dive Daredevils!
Speaking of spreading the word, it’s that time again to take another stab at GLORY and make a run at the leader board on the Top Web Comics list. If everybody the reads the Daredevils on a weekly basis votes JUST ONE TIME this month that would be more than enough to catapult us into the Top 100! So if you can spare a few seconds CLICK HERE and help make the Daredevils Internet famous.
Man, I can’t believe that’s already the third week of Pitch Black Day Chapter Two in the books…time flies when you are having fun. Before you hit the road, as always, head on over to the blog for your weekly serving of the Sunday Bonus Lunch.
Anyways, till next week!
-Matt-
The Webbed fingers and gill slits suggest that Dracula has been changed by the environment and/or his food source.
Serious high tech on the domes, although I question the utility of smokestacks in a sealed system.
Are the physical changes in his minions progressive or are there more complex factors at work? Can our favorite Cajun boy be restored to humanity?
Hey David – Well, many of your questions have already been answered in the prose interlude between Chapters 1 & 2, which concluded a few weeks back.
However, we cover some of that same ground -although in a much more concise manner – in next week’s page, as well.
Thanks for reading!
All that, just to get a doctor to make a house-call?
I’m betting that he needs more than just a simple band-aid, and some peroxide…
Dracula hasn’t had his annual physical in like FOREVER, and his insurance premiums are going to go WAY up if he blows it off another year…
The plot to Pitch Black Day.
Famous last words, “My ‘adversaries’ have what’ a hold full of bloodthirsty monsters?”
Little does he know the last of his monsters aboard the Custer probably died singing ‘under the sea’ before the priest beheaded him anyway for being off tune.
Hallelujah, Amen and Praise the Lord (please don’t smite me)!
Only time will tell if Dracula’s hubris proves to be his undoing…
But, for now, he certainly seems to have the upper-hand.
Dracula does look pretty tough. However, some well-placed high-explosive charges *could* bring his new kingdom tumblin’ down…
D-D-Did s-somebody say exp-p-plosives?!
