Disappointing end for such a good run :(

Really rushed and could have definitely benefited from an extra one or two issues. The final fight lasts less than 2 spreads? He just goes down that easily? I know that's really just how it goes down in the 1931 film, but it just feels rushed and anticlimactic. 

There's a few things referenced in this issue that I'm 90% sure didn't happen in the last issue. I read them back to back and the only reason I'm not 100% sure they weren't mentioned is because I genuinely feel gaslit by the comic referencing INCREDIBLY important plot details that happen "off screen" for lack of a better word, like
Mina literally turning into a vampire.
