Yes, i just for issues 1,2 and 4 last week but the issue 3 was sold out. The art is pretty interesting and have a lot of cool looking pages and they really try to show the story with a new perspective, but i got the feeling the 4 issues limit doesn't gives too much room to make something truly transcendental with Dracula.

Well, that's the "trick" and by that I mean where the talent and mastery of the craft become art. Imagine how stupid it is that, say, a film maker attempts to tell an eight hour story in two, or a two hour story in eight. The same holds true in comics. One simply isn't qualified to attempt it if they can't succeed. This isn't graded on a curve, it's pass / fail. Either tell a compelling story in the allotted space or sit back down and don't waste anyone else's time. Four issues is plenty, if the talent is there.

One simply isn't qualified to attempt it if they can't succeed. Perhaps in such cases it is worth seeking help. I once had the experience of using https://essay-company.org/paper-writing-help/ (https://essay-company.org/paper-writing-help/) when writing a story for a local newspaper. This isn't graded on a curve, it's pass / fail. Either tell a compelling story in the allotted space or sit back down and don't waist anyone else's time.

I fully agree with you
