Vampire question settled?

[jere7my]

What is it that you exactly want after barely two strips? I don't get it.

Barely two, three, who can count?

What I would want, to even consider your theory plausible, is a plausible reason for Rich to throw two methods of vampirization at Durkon (one of which isn't really vampirization, but looks just like it) when one would work just as well, then not let the audience know immediately that that was happening. Without that, it's as plausible a plot twist as "That's not really Durkon; it's an illusion cast by the werewolf god Frank to fool Durkula." Also technically possible, but unlikely in the extreme without some hint from Rich.

You can propose ANY theory and justify it with "It's for story purposes. We don't know yet." What is your support for THIS theory?

Feel free to think so if you want, but the comic's present inconsistencies still say that the answer is no.

Ah, right, the inconsistencies you won't tell me about. What inconsistencies can't be explained by a dark spirit absorbing Malack's memories and identifying with him? Specifically, with quotes from the text?
