Review/plot:
The intro summary for this story asks: "Vampires love the dark but how do they fare in the darkness that is Cloak...?" And the answer is... not very well.

For some reason Dagger doesn't want him to kill her, though.

The ending is very abrupt. I'm equally interested in how Dagger's light powers might affect a vampire, but we don't get to see that. I'm also curious what Dagger thinks Dr. Strange does with vampires. I assume he stakes them through the heart. It's funny to think that Cloak and Dagger might be going around collecting vampires and dropping them off at Dr. Strange's house thinking that he's saving them somehow but he just stabs them when they leave.

Quality Rating: D

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: We don't know if Dr. Strange is around, so his availability isn't a consideration and he shouldn't be considered behind the scenes.

Was Walter McDaniel channeling Mark Beachum?

@Mark Drummond. Ha! You beat me to it. Mark Beachum's penchant for posteriors was the first thing that ran through my mind.

Either that or McDaniel has been "culling Playboy references and getting paid to do it" much like Scott Kolins later joked about.
