Titan Comics has two prequels releasing on November 5th: The Chronicles of Legion Vol. 1: Rise of the Vampires and Issue #2 (of 4) of The Evil Within. Looking for something more original? Then meet Norman, a creepy kid heading our way in the spring.

The four-volume Chronicles caught our eye because they promise “three incarnations of Vlad Tepes Dracula” within the origin story of I Am Legion. Say what you will, even after all these years and interpretations (good and bad), we’re always on the lookout for new vampire tales, especially those involving our beloved Count. Here’s hoping this 56-page hardcover graphic novel doesn’t disappoint.
