Rating: - A great start for an amazing series
I am not a big comic book guy. I own very few, but I find that the ones I do own get read pretty regularly.
If you have any interest in the horror/vampire genre, then this is going to be a good choice for you. It is a well put together story that leads well into the follow up volumes.
The only real complaint I have here is the art. It leans toward the abstract and while many would argue it fits in well with the dark over feeling of the work, I found it a bit distracting. ... Read More
Rating: - Two Different Stories of Varying Quality - Buy It for the Art
The first story, "Dead Billy Dead," written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Kody Chamberlain, is pretty good. The story is nothing great, but it's entertaining, but the art really stands out. It's very moody, with deep shadows and gorgeous coloring. I'd give it an "A".
The second story, "Juarez," by Matt Fraction and Ben Templesmith, started out great but completely becomes incomprehensible towards the end. This story is more complicated than the first one, and I respect that, but it's ... Read More
Rating: - I LOVE KODY CHAMERLAIN'S ART!!
BLOODSUCKER TALES WAS OVERALL A REALLY GOOD BOOK. THE WRITING WAS OK, BUT THE ART WAS AWESOME. BEN TEMPLESMITH CONTINUED HIS STYLE THAT HE DID IN THE OTHER BOOKS, BUT NEWCOMER KODY CHAMBERLAIN WOWED EVERYONE WITH HIS EXCELLENT REALISM AND COLORS. I LOVED THE ART IN THIS BOOK AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE TO CHECK IT OUT!
Rating: - Two twisted tales, two great artists
Niles and Fraction deliver odd, twisted and gruesome stories worthy of the bearing the "30 Days of Night" tag. Established fan favorite 30 Days artist Templesmith delivers his usual top notch visuals and you can see where he had a little fun playing with his style a bit to suit the story. Newcomer Kody Chamberlain proves he's ready to be part of the big show. His use of line, color and texture deliver his story in an engaging combination of classic illustration, modern horror comic and horror movie splatterfest.
Rating: - CHAMBERLAIN, A TALENTED NEWCOMER?
Just as many fans of the 30 Days Of Night books i have to say that this is the most uncool of them all. I wont focus on the plot itslef (both stories are fine) instead, i have to warn you, if you appreciate well done drawings, then this book is not for you. Kody Chamberlain's work is ..... well, see for yourself, if you have the chance to do a web search, check it out and then you decide.
Ben Templesmith has proven that you dont need to be an excellent anatomist nor to have deep knowledge on prespective, you ... Read More
