The legions of superheroes turning up after being inspired by our protagonists are revealed as vampires; a dastardly plan that’s essentially a power grab by an ancient vampire. With Dracula missing, Frankenstein and Cynthia try to find him – as it seems that he may well be needed in the coming war, which is already beginning to claim some casualties…

The All-Nighter continues to be a really unusual and unique spin on monster mythology and superheroes – though it began as an exploration of the latter, it’s certainly leaning towards the former at this stage of the story.

Despite an inherently goofy premise, The All-Nighter has actually proven to be a series with a lot of heart and genuine tragedy too; there’s some deeply affecting moments in this particular issue that push us ever more towards an explosive showdown.

It’s a real shame that The All-Nighter doesn’t appear to have made much of a splash among critics or its audience, as it’s an absorbing, well written and brilliantly drawn tale that has very little to compare it to; it’s an excellent comic and deserves to be much more widely read than it appears to be so far.
