In this new preview of Brothers Dracul #4, Radu worries a great deal about his brother, but not necessarily in the way you might think. As he says in the preview, he isn’t concerned with his physical safety, as there probably aren’t many people on earth who can slay Vlad.

Instead, he’s worried about the anger that drives him to be such a skilled hunter. If he falls to that anger, letting it consume him, Radu fears he could become something else entirely. The crazy part is, he’s far from wrong.

You can check out the full preview of the new issue in the gallery, and the official description can be found below.

You can pick up Brothers Dracul #1 right now, and the official description is below.

“The legend of Vlad the Impaler is the stuff of nightmares. The inspiration for the most iconic of monstersโ€”Draculaโ€”Vlad tortured and murdered thousands of victims. But what turned him into such a depraved killer? The truth lies in his teenage years, when Vlad and his brother Radu were held hostage by the Ottoman Empire. During this time, the brothers learned many thingsโ€”archery, riding, the art of combat, matters of court…and how to stalk and slay vampires.”
