Archie-the-RedCat - TrueBlood vs Twilight - Jacob Black vs Sam Merlotte

This is the third installment of the Twilight vs Dead Until Dark comics that I had commissioned of Archie-The-RedCat.

Just like the first two, there was a lot to say about the “werewolves” of the Twilight series.  Especially this whole business of “Imprinting” which, when I read it, sounded like it bordered upon Pedophilia and Child Grooming.  And really despite a lot of the flaws that Sam Merlotte has at least he’s far more sane than what’s being done in the Twilight saga.

Archie-The-RedCat - Twilight vs True Blood - Edward Cullen vs Bill Compton

This was a piece that I had commissioned of Archie-The-RedCat. After the success of the first picture I decided that there needed to be a sequel.  Especially considering that there were a lot of things that could be said about Edward Cullen.  So, I gathered as much of the vampire information from the two series.  Although, in my research on the “vampires” of Twilight I saw that they were less and less like vampires that we all know and love.  That was when the revelation occurred to me that because of the fact that he sparkles in sunlight makes me think that he isn’t a vampire, he’s a fairy (a fae) with a diet quirk. What’s more I found out that supposedly Edward Cullen’s skin is crystalline and diamond-hard and the way he moves around is that he excretes a venomous bacteria that acts as a lubricant.  I’m not kidding nor am I making that up.  It’s too stupid to make up.  All of this was said by Stephanie Meyer herself.  This is the kind of thing that even people with Tourettes would say “No”.

But on the other hand it make for such great comedic fodder so I put it into the script before giving over the art to Archie-the-RedCat.

Archie-the-RedCat - Twilight vs Dead Until Dark - Sookie Stackhouse vs Bell Swan

This was a piece that I had commissioned of the artist named Archie-the-RedCat.  When I first started this I was inspired by a series of comics that were done by an artist named Shinga in which she did several parody comics about Twilight as well as its fandom.  And so I began writing up a script for a comic in which I pitted the characters of Dead Until Dark (True Blood) against Twilight. In a way I had set up the script similar to those commercials of “I’m a Mac and I’m a PC” in which both would present themselves and finally in the end one of them seems to have more sense than the other.
