Here's what SG #63 from January 1993 had to say mostly about Book 1, Issue 4:
A couple interesting things that David Campiti claims:
He says that when Vicki returns from the past she would realize that the present day Barnabas (actually Barnabas in 1991 by then, not 1990) is the same Barnabas who stalked Cillinsport as a vampire in 1790. However, according to all that's been shared about the '91 DS' actual projections for a Season 2, Vicki would not actually recall that fact because, as was the case with the original show, her memories of her experiences in the past would be vague. So, if the comics had gone down the road of Vicki actually remembering, they would have deviated from what we would have seen had the show done its own Season 2. Though Innovation went out of business before ever getting to Book 4 so the subject is moot.
And while Campiti's notion that at some point a Loomis married into the Collins family might be intriguing, I'm not so sure I buy it. But of course, for his idea for how Angelique cursed Josette's music box and how reincarnation plays a part in it to work, Willie would need to be related to the Collinses in some way, whether that makes any sense or not. And his claim that he leaves it up to readers to interpret whether or not it's reincarnation is disingenuous because right on Page 26 Angelique says as part of her curse: "If it takes a thousand years or as many reincarnations" - so I don't see how that isn't specifically stating reincarnation is actually involved.
