Dying Breath: 4.5 out of 5
Alright I have to admit I don’t know anything about the I, Vampire
storylines that came before. So I think that leads me to a safe
introduction to this book. First thing to talk about is the cover by
Frison, just stop my heart now beautiful. However it is totally
overshadowed by the interiors. Sorrentino did some of the most
GORE-Geous work I have seen this year. Visuals alone would make my buy
this book. The story by Fialkov has this back and forth pace and setting
that worked so well and the intro to the cast was perfect. This is
going to be one very intriguing title, that I have to say is at the top
of my list alongside Animal Man. For $2.99 don’t pass on this one, I am really dying right now while I wait for #2 to come out.
