One last gasp of Halloween.
Morbius The Living Vampire #7
Marvel Comics (March, 1993)
“Cemetery Dance” WRITER: Len Kaminski PENCILER: Ron Wagner INKER: Mike Witherby COLORIST: Greg Wright LETTERER: Janice Chiang EDITOR: Bobbie Chase
A combination of machines and serum allow Michael Morbuis to assume the identity of Dr. Morgan Michaels, hematologist. But while he huts a cure a guy name Slaughter is hunting him…and obsessed with death!
What they got right: They gave the vampire anti-hero a secret identity as a blood doctor. What could go wrong? I kid, but Michael gets to save a life, which is welcome for him. Slaughter might prove an interesting foe for Morbius.
What they got wrong: The art seems to get worse every issue. It’s still not the worst 90’s Marvel had to offer, and it’s still watchable, but I have noticed the change to what we think of as 90’s comic art. Kind of a shame.
Recommendation: Still not my kind of comic and I kind of hope this the last one in the pile (they came from one of those collection sets) but I can’t call it a bad comic. Just not one I want hanging around.
