Vampires: Los Muertos (2002)
Evil Knows No Borders
Tough-as-nails vampire hunter Derek Bliss is on the hunt for "suckers" in the heart of Mexico when he receives a new assignment from a mysterious client. Thrown together with a group of slayers, including sexy Zooey, who may or may not be one of the undead. Derek and company are up against a growing number of fast-moving, bloodthirsty vampires and their elusive and powerful leader.
In Vampires: Los Muertos, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “undead hunt”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing vampire, hunting, religion, immortality.
