REVIEW: Morbius The Living Vampire #1
Or – “Vampires Seem To Operate On A Seven-Year Cycle…”
Back in the 60s, the sort-of-dreaded Comics Code Authority prohibited any mention of the undead. (There are many who claim, with more than just a little bit of evidence, that this was by design, to force EC Comics out of business a decade earlier.)

With his 40th anniversary having recently passed, Morbius now graduates to his own book (again) and your Major Spoilers blood-sucking review awaits!

We do.

REVIEW: Avenging Spider-Man Annual #1
