They aren't great, but they aren't awful either.  Their just meh.  You can probably pick up a cheap set from ebay or an online comic dealer.  If you don't care to have the individual issues then there is also a trade paperback that collects them all together.

Other than the fact that the CASTLE from a series called CASTLEvania makes no appearance whatsoever, they're pretty great.  Had Christopher actually treked through the castle at some point I would probably like them a whole lot more.  But with each issue, I kept assuming there would be a castle sequence in the next one.  When the fifth one came out and Christopher never even made it to Castlevania, I was severely let down.

They are okay. I wouldn't call them bad, but I wouldn't call them good. I don't think the writer had a very firm grasp about what makes Castlevania... Castlevania, and why people like it.  He just kind of told a generic vampire story and left out a lot of series essential stuff.
