Morbius!
In this month's request thread I asked if Morbius, The LIVING VAMPIRE!, ever got a series that was good.

I wanted to know because in the 90s animated series, Morbius was awesome and disgusting (and that made him more awesome) - but whenever I dipped into his comics they were.. well frankly they were dull and forgettable. I read one of them a week ago and I already have very little idea of what happened.

And an Anonymous answered! And lo, it was good.

By which I mean nuts.

Here are a couple of links, because shit, I haven't posted anything on a journal for forever and I can't remember how.

Thanks mysterious benefactor!

	I wanted to know because in the 90s animated series, Morbius was awesome and disgusting (and that made him more awesome) Wait, you mean the same series that had the character repeatedly scream "I need more PLASMA!" And sucked it through suctions on his hands because the censors refused to allow any actual vampires or mentions of blood? That series? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. I LOVE that stuff, vampire palm-suckers are one of my favourite mutations ever. I mean, that's gross! SUCKERS on your HANDS than pull out people's BLOOD[plaaaaaasmaaaahh]. Honestly one of the things I found disappointing when I went to the comics was that he was just a plain old usual vampire, only with a science origin. I mean, ou est le gimmick?

	He had the best theme music, those creepy strings. And a great ridiculous accent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That cover scan makes me chuckle. He's a giant green monster covered in eyes. You're a guy with a gun. Why would Morbius be worried about you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Even the sub-title is ignoring him. Death has a thousand eyes. Do you have a thousand eyes, chum? But he keeps on shootin'! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	In order for this post to be considered 'legal', the images need to be embedded. Here's how to fix that: [img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/effgeevee/morb2.jpg"] [img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/effgeevee/morb1.jpg"] Changing [] to <>. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You seem to have misplaced the second half of the cut. It should look like this: [div class="ljcut"] [img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/effgeevee/morb2.jpg"] [img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/effgeevee/morb1.jpg"] [/div].

	I used to have a book called the Vampire Encyclopedia (I used to be nuts about vampires, before I got all disillusioned with them). Morbius got his own entry, and I recall being intrigued by it. I didn't remember that until just now. XD (Reply to this)
