Comments: Its nine-teen thirty-eight and Captain Lancet is ready to battle crime. In New York the Scarlet Twilight Cult lead by Madame Satanika mence the city.
Captain Lancet walks into a death trap. He is fast and strong and he knows just what to do. Captain Lancet though does have a dark secret. He offers his opponents a chance to surrender so its not his fault if he has to stop them.
This story unfolds like an old style pulp novel and the art is perfect for the period setting. Captain Lancet is a hard hitting superhero.
The identity of Madame Satanika was obvious from the moment you see her alter ego.
Madame Satanika did release a being of power and evil. Now this being was able to handle Captain Lancet. Captain Lancet does recover from the attack yet it takes decades for him to. When he wakes up the city around him has changed, maybe the world.
Captain Lancet is one tough being who will stop at nothing to fight the wrongs of the world. He is capable of doing so much but can even he defeat someone who has already defeated him. Thrills chills and excitement await the reader within these pages.

Comments: Maxie is a good guy and very intelligent just he does not come across as a smart guy but more of a thug. He is preparing to fight the Scarlight Twilight and its leader Madame Satanika.
Maxine the Caretaker/Sidekick/Friend of Captain Lancet is just added into the stor with no explaination for why or how he came to be there. This really stands out and should have been explored a lot more.
Maxine and his clones plus now with Captain Lancet plan to take back the planet from the vampires. Captain Lancet jumps right in and leading the assault on the vampire rulers he finds the task fairly easy. It is not.
Can one man take on a planet of vampires? Maybe. maybe not as Satanika does have a small army. This is gearing up to be one all out battle and Captain Lancet is leading the charge while Satanika has a fortress.
One thing that is hinted at but our right said is that Captain Lancet may be Dracula. If so it is definitely a different role for him.
The up grade in weapons is cool to see for Captain Lancet.
In this issue we see the Captain may have been outsmarted and he may be out gunned. He does seem like a person who does relish a good hard fought fight. You do get to see him fight here.
The war has just begun.

Comments: Captain Lancet is surrounded by vampires. Captain Lancelet is Vlad Tepes and Madame Satanika are in a battle for the fate of the world. He has changed and is redeeming himself. The Scarlet Monarchs are Madame Satanika's best yet they face Captain Lancelet. The fighting is old style fists and feet along with weapons are used and these vampires fight hard with no let up. Captain Lancelet is the toughest of them all as he never lets up.
The background information on Captain Lancelet fits in perfectly it fills you in on things you should know.
Captain Lancelet and the Maxine's are more than crime fighters they are friends. Maxine does realize his place on this team and so do all his clones. Captain Lancelet is illustrated like a super-hero and he does have powers like any vampire would except he is not just any vampire. The art shows him in costume and in poses that eccentuate his personality of a hero.
Captain Lancelet was a man who did what he had to to protect his county and its citizens and he became evil and now he is redeeming himself. He fights for a better world.
Captain Lancelet has a plan to take down the Scarlet Twilight lead by Madame Satanika. This is his last ditch effort its all or nothing with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
