But what if LoS is canon actually? Its only 47 years before LoI (1047-1094), plenty of time for:

*Rinaldo (who we never see in LoI so we dont know how old is he) age and went emo-hermit on the forest

*Gabe leave a son before killing Marie and that son is the father of Leon

*Gabe/Dracula body ascends / descends or wathever and his evil spirit/escense "enters" in Mathias body (as he wanted to do with Maxim in HoD and Soma in AoS/DoS)

*Combat Cross made by Rinaldo gets destroyed and then he wants to make the perfect "vampire Killer" weapon (no pun)

 Somehow for ME it fits. And all the reimaginig chars and enemies, well we have seen that in all the saga.
Mathias Cronqvist is a completely different person. Born into nobility and serving the church as a tactician. His wife dies and he blames god and goes all Gary Oldman on his ass, vowing to defy limited life, thus screwing his friend over to become a vampire.

Gabe is this universes Dracula.

dont forget Zobek, who appears in modern times, where Gabe Dracula is STILL AROUND, hiding in a cathedral.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Alucard Belmont still sounds so cheesy man it's gonna be hard to get over that fumble. There's so many different ways they could do it, please let it not be that


I recall several months ago, Cox tweeted something in response to a question he was asked, saying "Gabriel is indeed the first Belmont.. and the last." he wouldn't elaborate more (of course)

Well of course he's the last. He's a vampire he lives forever!

Ehm no, I asked that question and he said Gabriel was the first Belmont but NOT the last.

I think the new issue was never going to be released this week, but rather next week where pretty much everyone is going to blow their pre E3 loads and debut something new before the show starts. Releasing them this week would have spoiled the surprise's in store.

So next week is a very safe bet. (honestly I think the cover is something else entirely like Metro the last light but I want to be wrong)

For some reason I am thinking he did. It is itching me at the back of my head, ut that was a while ago it felt more like a trick question.
