A powerful predatory corporation acquires a valuable asset...Dracula! They think they own him, but no one can own the son of the dragon.

A new ongoing horror series sure to make your blood run cold! A powerful, predatory corporation acquires a valuable asset...Dracula! They think they own him, but no one can own the Son of the Dragon. Now, there's a monster in their midst that puts Hannibal Lecter to shame -- and he plans to gain his freedom in blood. Kurt Busiek, along with award-winning author Daryl Gregory and sensational artist Scott Godlewski, take you through the dark corridors of the corporate American boardroom and show you vampires aren't the only kinds of bloodsuckers!
