Oooh, Neat! Vampires vs. Zombies in 'Last Blood'
Filed under: Horror, Comic/Superhero/Geek
Man oh man, sometimes I read a concept that's so up my alley that I want to physically punish myself for not thinking of it first. And this is one of 'em: It's a comic book called Last Blood, and here's the concept: A band of vampires has no choice but to defend the planet's last remaining humans from teeming throngs of zombies.
It makes perfect sense! Without human blood, the vampires would go extinct! So if zombies threaten to eradicate all mankind ... aw, man. It's so simple it's beautiful. The comic book was created by Bobby and Chris Crosby, and the boys are now in the movie business with the comics-lovin' Benderspink Productions. (They also have adaptations of Area 52, Y: The Last Man, and Pet Robots in development at various studios.)
Aside from this brief Variety piece, we don't have much more info on Last Blood, but you can check out the source material online right here! (Now I have something fun to do tonight!)

Bobby and Chris Crosby? As in Keenspot? Superosity? PlusEV? Somehow this seems out of left field from them.
Good for them.

Stephen King actually thought of it first. In his short story The Little Sisters of Eluria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Sisters_of_Eluria), a side story in the Dark Tower series, Roland is mortally wounded by Slow Mutants (zombies), then rescued by vampires (the Little Sisters), who nurse him back to health only because he looks delicious. They are prevented from feeding on him because he is wearing a medallion (taken from a corpse) with the name of God on it, and they capture a Mutie and try to force him to remove the medallion from Roland. The Mutant asks what they can possibly do to him that has not already been done (he's already dead), and tells them that drinking his blood will surely poison them.
