I was on board with a sultry, steampunk Helsing daughter in the 1800s, but not a time traveling vampire killer that takes selfies. Pop culture references to Nickleback, Edward Cullen, and smartphones already? Ugh.
Having dutifully started with the first issue, I wasn’t halfway through before I let out a groan. Alas, this third installment missed the proverbial mark.Īfter spending more than a century in a hellish dimension, Liesel Van Helsing, daughter of the famed vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, arrives in the present day to investigate her father’s hidden past and take on the evil that comes with it. As such, I decided to give Zenescope‘s four-issue mini series Helsing a look, in the hopes that their Grimm Universe packs more than just the heaving bosoms of their covers. He reminds me of a gothic Indiana Jones, with a crossbow instead of a whip.
Though not a particularly big vampire or Grimm Fairy Tales fan, for some reason I’ve always liked the Van Helsing character in the Dracula story.
