Reviewer Notes
There is so much to unpack in this issue, so I don’t want to ruin the story for those who still want to read it. I will just say Dracula takes the center stage in this issue. Now that he knows the Black Mirrors can be used to teleport between time and dimensions, he wants revenge!
I’m giving issue five of Tomb of Dracula five out of five stars. There are two new pieces of vampire lore revealed here. Some seemed to have been lost in the modern Marvel Vampires.
