Max is called to London to meet with Virgil and Norman due to there being reports of people being drained from the neck of their blood. Virgil believes this to be the work of a vampire who is a relative of Dracula. He uses his vast knowledge of vampire lore to educate and equip Max with the means to fight this dark terror. When the three finally come face to face with the vampire, they discover that none of Virgil's recommended methods are able to stop her, as she is no ordinary vampire.

If there's anything I love about Mighty Max, it's how it can defy expectations. Look at Werewolves of Dunneglen, Let Sleeping Dragons Lie, Axeman Cometh, or Fly by Night. There's a vampire on the loose. We're all set to see Virgil hand out wooden stakes and their enemy to flee as the sun starts to come up. Instead it strips away the classic intrepretation of vampires bit by bit until the heroes have nothing left to rely on but their own wits and intuition. It's about how we can't always rely on how previous accounts and have to figure things out for ourselves sometimes, and I'm totally for anything that supplies that message.
