It's the 1990's and at the multi-national conglomerate Lamia International, the executives have taken the term bloodthirsty literally. The entire corporation is secretly run by vampires. After years of half baked attempts to rule the living, vampires have realized that the true path to world domination is through the corporate boardroom. They control employment, the money flow, politicians, and pharmaceutical companies. But their secret has leaked out. Enter two wisecracking assassins named Nikita and Milo. She's a bodybuilder with an attitude who has a personal score to settle with the vampires. He's an expert marksman with the perfect recipe for barbecue sauce. Together they hunt vampires. Nikita and Milo have come up with new weapons for their vampire fight. She has a silver bladed double side scythe, and he has the one object every vampire fears...a chainmail gauntlet that burns any vampire it touches, a gauntlet that is supposed to have been formed from the Holy Grail itself. Nikita and Milo, vampire assassins, get to the very heart of evil, as action, adventure and horror come together when they learn that Blood is the Harvest.

Blood runs cold at 20,000 feet, especially if you're a vampire hunter named Milo trapped in a Lear jet with thirty six bloodsucking corporate movers and shakers. Vampires are attempting to take over the world, and they're doing it through Fortune 500 corporations. They may have traded in their capes for Brooks Brothers suits, but they still thirst for human blood. All that stands between them and the subjugation of the human race are a couple of smart mouthed, specially trained assassins: female bodybuilder Nikita and the aforementioned Milo. They're vampire hunters with an attitude, and they don't take kindly to attempted world domination. Issue two opens with a battle between Nikita and M'Raud, the 300-year-old enforcer for Lamia International. It's a battle to the death, and Nikita loses. After that, it's up to Milo to go it alone against the stockholders of Lamia high up in the not-so-friendly skies. The vampires are mad and they're after his blood, and not his world-famous barbecue sauce recipe.

Most of us have trouble enough just getting by. We never know how far we'd go for our beliefs. But environmental-minded Concrete faces just that when he's lured to the Pacific Northwest by a small group from Earth First! These are the guerillas of the environmental movement. They resist, blockade, and sometimes monkeywrench, wrecking equipment worth millions. They also spike trees. Concrete would be the ultimate monkeywrencher if he can be persuaded -- or manipulated -- into crossing the line. And he can.
This six-part series explores the history of Earth First! and the moral questions it raises in a heady mix of suspense, humor, sexual tension, and painless dollops of natural history.
