I remember really enjoying the Annual where the X-Men went up against Dracula. It was just so different from the usual mutant based tales that we normally got. It was another reminder of the versatility of the characters - they could fit into any genre from standard superhero fare to science fiction to a straight up horror story.
Fabulous! This would be the perfect way to introduce Buffy to her Cousin Scott! I can just see it now.
ReplyDelete"Buffy And I...Vampire in: RED MOON OVER SUNNYDALE!"
"Guest-starring the X-men."
I remember the issue of X-Men that had Kitty Pryde home alone in the mansion on Christmas and battling an alien (maybe a brood?) It read like an homage to Alien, same horror vibe.
ReplyDeleteCary, Buffy and Scott met in STF #1847, May 4 2017
ReplyDeleteA combination of "I... Vampire!" and Werewolf By Night seems like a good combo for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteAs for characters fitting in different genres, that's pretty much the nature of superhero tales, at least in the big shared universes. There's a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, horror, pulp action, and all sorts of other stuff everywhere you look, and it all fits together. You could drop Warlord on Tattooine and make it work with minimal effort. Or Batman. (Heck, you've already done close to that with the Punisher.)
? Where has Batman been placed that didn't work? Funny book?
ReplyDeleteShould we expect a chapter called 'Any Vampire in a Storm'?
I love the dramatics of the scene, Ross.
I'm just glad no one decided to add...Do you want fries with that?
it’s going to be interesting as the character from i’ vampire would try to save Storms victim ,
ReplyDeletethe strange idea that he was the Good Guy made his tale A one worth following…
@Ross: even better! That means they're overdue for a 2nd family reunion!!--Cary
