    Rome Of Shadow, Rome Of Light last edited by gravenraven on 07/08/23 10:41AM View full history

    The year is 44 B.C. Julius Caesar has conquered Transylvania, and vampyres are Rome's new slave class. But when rich mortals start turning up dead with fang marks on their necks, Valens, a vampyre slave-turned-Roman soldier, plunges into the blood-soaked underworld of Rome to capture the Pluto's Kiss Killer. If he can prove himself, he'll earn rank and riches beyond what anyone this side of the Tiber has ever seen! But if he fails, he just might find himself on top of the pile of bodies! Don't miss this crimson-red, 6-issue thriller that mixes the undead intrigue of True Blood with the brutal Roman action and political drama of Spartacus from newcomers Stuart C. Paul and Christian Duce!

    Vampire Empire 0

    As more and more vampire-based titles hit the shelves, you`d almost expect the quality to drop, and maybe that`s true with some, but not with Ides of Blood, this is good stuff...  Set in another alternate history: 44AD, some years previously the Roman Empire has invaded Transylvania, and as a result, vampires are integrated into Roman society.
