Les chroniques de Légion #3

by Fabien Nury, Mario Alberti (Illustrations), Tirso (Illustrations)

Across centuries, and in all their incarnations, the vampiric brothers Radu and Vlad continue their bloody feud. But how long can the immortals remain completely immune to the humanity of their hosts before their emotions and feelings start to merge? Now the brothers feel their wills and that of the humans their inhabit combine, and their destiny, which they once felt so certain they controlled, is changed forever.

Reviews

[William Bainbridge · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5. Would have been a 3 if not for victor dropping the coldest passage of the series so far, "no I certainly don't care about this silly girl and thr runt growing inside her belly." Bro is a menace to society man.
