Vol. 2: Page 59: Procession

So, the speckles over the silhouetted figures are meant to be snowflakes. I see stars, allowing the page to take on a much more metaphysical feel than any other in all of Ultrasylvania. And I like it.

This might be the best work I’ve seen Matt do to date. He captures all of Victor’s emotions as he tries to remain kingly and somber and controlled. Ultimately, Victor yields.

It’s not an accident that Matt’s layout here harkens back to Dylan’s work on this much earlier page. We’re consciously echoing.

As an aside: The bald gent at the bottom of the page? He’s rather similar to one of the character designs Matt had originally submitted for Victor. We ultimately gave our Frankenstein his signature locks, but imagine how he could have looked with a completely bare pate and a bushy ‘stache!

The Rumors Are True….

If you like to read your comics for free on the web, we're still here for you. However, if you love your comics of the digital variety, you can now go to ComiXology and gobble up Ultrasylvania, Vol. 1: King Dracula.

Arguably, the whole of Ultrasylvania has led to this moment. Yes, that’s hyperbole. What of it!? We finally get Victor standing tall before this woman who years before had not only become his first love, but also subsequently faked her own death. The fact that all of this was in the midst of her spying on him…. Such things rarely register when gauging matters of the heart.

That amulet he hands to her? Keen-eyed readers might recognize it as the one she left behind in her – or, rather, “Ileana’s” – coffin.

Coming to Comixology….

Just like it says....

Dracula and Meritaten dance this wonderful dance through this scene, with Victor as the awkward third wheel.

At long last we have our Big Three together in the same room….
