The third adventure is the first meeting of VAMPIRE, PA’s not-yet-a-vampire-hunter Dean and the vampire queen Jocelyn at a trendy Miami dance club (and boy, is Dean out of his element)!
“I’ve loved this series, I’ve contributed a couple of covers along the way, and I’ve personally backed every issue, and I know that those of you who have discovered it have enjoyed it as well.” Stated Shi-creator Billy Tucci. “Well, this one has some fantastic covers, an additional 48-page cover gallery that all physical level backers will get, and more. Please consider backing it and putting J.C. and Brendon & Brian Fraim’s project over the top!”
