Each and every month, this revived horror analogy series continues to live up to its namesake.

The first of two standouts is “Bloodsuckers” by writer Bill Morrison and artist Wilfredo Torres, a story with a unique take on a town being ravaged by vampires. A stranger arrives in town promising to rid the town of their blood draining problem but without using stakes or holy water against the vampires. The second tale is a reprint written by Martin Salvador and art by Steve Skeates about a man looking for “The Ultimate High.” This quest comes at a high cost to the man’s life.
