Way dorsum inward September 2011, I, Vampire was amid the titles launched every bit piece of employment of DC Comics' New 52 initiative. It was a championship that many people, including myself, missed out on inward its master run. So right away that it's out inward Trade, should you lot plow over it a read? Definitely. I, Vampire is an under-appreciated gem that all comic fans should induce got inward their collection.
I, Vampire revolves unopen to the grapheme of Andrew Bennett, a vampire who for many years has been trying to halt his one-time lover Mary (also a vampire) from rise upwards amongst her regular army of vampires as well as killing all the humans. However, inward the events of the showtime number of this collection he finally loses command of her, as well as thence subsequently years of peace betwixt the vampires as well as humans a nighttime fourth dimension begins. The showtime volume follows the storey of Mary as well as her regular army mass-murdering humans across America as well as Andrew's desperate endeavour to halt her, amongst the assistance of his friend John, the non thence friendly Tig, as well as Batman himself. And it is a boom to read.
It's also slap-up for novel comic readers wanting to dip their toe into the DC pool, every bit I, Vampire has a rattling self contained story. You don't quest whatsoever noesis of the DC super-heroes to honey this book, thence if you lot desire an slow jumping-on point, this should hold out it.
Joshua Hale Fialkov writes a diversity of slap-up characters: some are likeable, some are insane, some are only plainly badass - but all of them are interesting as well as character's I'd similar to run across to a greater extent than of inward the future. Whether nosotros volition or non is a unlike storey seeming every bit I, Vampire is existence cancelled subsequently it's nineteenth issue! *sad face*
Fialkov manages to write Andrew every bit a adept vampire - but non inward an annoying Twilight means - he's a adept vampire, but withal a full badass. He may withal honey Mary, but he doesn't sit down unopen to staring at her, instead he actively tries to kill her which is a lot to a greater extent than entertaining to read.
Meanwhile, the supporting cast is also good. John, Andrew's oldest friend, comes across every bit an intelligent grapheme as well as 1 that - despite existence a lame human - tin plow over the axe concur his ain against the vampires.
And as well as thence there's my 2 favourite character's inward this book: Tig, a vampire hunter who forms an uneasy alliance amongst Andrew, as well as Mary herself. I know it sounds foreign to country the villain is 1 of my favourite characters inward a comic, but Mary's mental attitude as well as demeanour is only so deliciously evil that it's difficult non to similar her.
Then there's Tig, who I'm peculiarly interested inward subsequently reading the terminate of Volume 1. No spoilers, but what I volition country is subsequently that twist of an ending there's going to hold out tough times ahead for Tig!
Then, there's the fine art past times Andrea Sorrentino. Before I, Vampire, it's fair to country he was a relatively unknown creator. Now though, I'm happy to country that this volume has led to him existence discovered (he was latterly bumped upwards to the much higher profile book: Green Arrow). Sorrentino's fine art fits perfectly for a volume similar this.
The darkness of the fine art industrial plant good inward making you lot experience immersed inward this darker side of the DC Universe, as well as close of the fourth dimension looks absolutely beautiful. However, at that topographic point were a few panels inward the volume where I idea things got a fighting also dark, as well as also much item was sacrificed every bit a result. On the whole though, Sorrentino's fine art fits this volume perfectly as well as I promise to run across to a greater extent than from him inward the future.
One other flaw that also holds I, Vampire dorsum is that some pieces of dialogue experience a petty out of place, as well as motion the storey on a petty also fast. Not a huge problem, but it did accept me out of the storey a twosome of times throughout the book.
