"Vampire State" begins in Captain Britain and MI13 #11, pitting our intrepid heroes against the archtypal villain and a vampire army over the creation of a homeland for vampires.
The last issue saw Dracula send vampire-missiles to kill everybody in MI13, except Spitfire, who was visited by her undead (in more ways than one) son Kenneth. Of course, Dracula's attempt to kill everyone fails, since they're the stars, though he does ice the chick Brian was chatting up.
Faiza and Dane's survival is particularly innovative; their jet gets blown up, so they plummet to earth, and Faiza heals them as they impact the ground, in the second or so of consciousness before she would get splattered.
Dracula himself paid a visit to Faiza's family, and here we see the result:

One of the things I'm really liking about this arc so far is that Cornell has actually managed a fairly unique take on a character who has been played and written literally hundreds of times over the last 100 years. The takes on Dracula that I’ve seen in the past, dating back really to Stoker’s book, almost always emphasize him as a solo operative, perhaps with one or two pawns and servants to help out; he’s a monster-movie villain. Cornell’s greatly broadened the scope, emphasizing Dracula’s past history as a king and commander of men. If you're going to use such a familiar figure, having a relatively fresh take is a big help.
We zip out for a page with Jackie and Kenneth, and we're, back...
Not sure about the codename (too generic, too many past uses as team names and such, for it to really stick to her), but the "steward" costume she's had these past two issues is a great design. I always thought it was weird, given that she was established from the first panel she appeared as a superhero fangirl, that actually becoming a superhero didn't lead to her immediately testing names and tacky costumes.
Anyway, this book is really good, and needs sales, so you should all buy it, if you aren't already.
