Topic: Bram Stoker, The Joss Whedon of his day?

It will be easy to point out the impact that Dracula has had over the first 112 years, by providing a wide variety of material for analysis. Bram’s creation has helped many scholars, writers, directors and actors make a living off of his product. What is interesting to me is that it has been on so many levels. Dracula has been credited with making commentary on social reform, repressed sexuality, making statements about technology, religion, to name a few.

The present interest in horror and vampires in pop culture, to a certain extent, is great entertainment, but may not approach the level of depth for the critics to analyze as has been the case for Dracula.

    this sounds interesting of course it could also be reversed (Joss Wheedon is the Modern Bram Stoker) this is my first time posting here but I’m very excited about the coming book and wish I could make it to comic con

    Joss Whedon is such a hardcore almost godlike creature in the nerdy entertainment world. its difficult to compare him to anything else. however, i’ll bet this panel was extremely interesting.
