Our vampire series gets crazy with “Captain Britain & MI13: Vampire State” by Paul Cornell. In this comic, Dracular invades Britain through outerspace from his moon base. Ah, comics. We talk about megalomaniac machinations, overly attaches sons, and sunglasses squires. Oh yeah — this comic doesn’t pull punches in the wild idea department.

Hope you’re ready for some vampires, because this week we’re reading “Blade: Undead Again” by Marc Guggenheim. We dig the “TV-style setup” that the comic pulls off so well while discussing Blade’s crappy lovelife, childhood flashbacks, and running from the police. Plus: protagonist power!

We wrap up our smarmy Comics for Ladies series with “Y: The Last Man: Unmanned” by Brian K. Vaughan. For years, this comic has been held forth as one of the “best” comics to “get your girlfriend into comics.” We talk about Yorick, Hero, and the Amazons, and try to figure out wherefrom and whereto all this gendered commentary goes.
