So many characters and things going on. Horatio turns up to find Nemia, the head vampire holding his boss captive and with lots of vampire back up too. Gwen is wandering the street she grew up on before she died, with the memories of her childhoods friend's mother in her, after eating her already deceased brain. She just needed to relay a message on to her childhood friend from her mother, but she got angry that Gwen was back to life and not her Boyfriend who also must have died. Also going on at the same time, Spot the were-terrier is introducing his Grampa possessed chimp to his 60's ghost friend, Ellie. She's here to help Spot's Grampa possess something else and not get stuck in chimp form.
Now back to the monster hunter and vampire situation. The Vampires want a truce and don't want to hurt anyone, apparently the earlier murders were a isolated incident by the vampire that turned all of them into vampire's themselves. They agree and as she walks away she says they should be more concerned about the towns vampire problem. Which poses a dilemma for Gwen as she is currently dating Horatio. Gwen has tailed her brother to a comic shop to see him again, turns out he was the chap she walked by in a much earlier issue and kinda recognised. Meanwhile Amon the vampire, was going to teach Gwen how to not loose her memories is meeting in the diner with the local mad scientist, Galatea, about trying to release Xitalu the great devourer and end of al things so that she may bottle his energy. Apparently he has already said no to her, centuries ago.

Allred draws the pale, half-dead look perfectly.

It's what he was made for. The X-tatix's Dead-Girl anyone?

This whole Xitalu thing is an absolute U turn again in the story. When I originally heard of this story I thought I was about to pick up a rip off of Chew, and was only picking it up for the Allred art. It has since, fully enthralled me into a large cast of likable kooky characters and the story is so original and diverse but so well plotted, that I think I'm in for the long hall on this one. I just hope Allred never leaves the title.
Gwen's childhood friend whom is now out of options is approached by one of the vampires to join them. This really just is the perfect supernatural story. It's really light hearted and fun despite it's content.
