#121: The Best heroes We've Got
Alucard's first appearance in the series was in Castlevania III, although technically he showed up before hand in Legends. The timeline is just screwed up.

Of course, he was there to help Sonia... so I guess my comic still stands.
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
