I personally love the series, mostly because it’s a more realistic vampire plot. Unlike most vampire stories now a days, where the vampires are beautiful creatures full of glitter.. (ack) I do see where you are coming from, it does seem like it was made just for the gore of it, but it’s the only graphic novel that I was able to really get into other than Anita Blake of course.

wow, strong review. the story may not be the best, but no one can deny that the art totally makes this comic, its super dark and really brings the reader into the atmosphere. True the movie was nothing to spend money on at the cinema, but when you read the rest of the series and sequels its very harsh to say thats its a piss poor story. Its a completely unique story with regards to the location and horror, its far removed from marvel “every superhero wins the day” crap.

I agree that it doesn’t merit the extraordinary praise it’s been granted, but I think it’s a good if flawed comic.

I particularly like the way it is _not_, unlike many vampire stories, a story of a plucky, inventive, man who finds a way to survive and triumph; it’s more like the story of a few people who luckily manage not to be swallowed-up by a natural disaster. The portrait of the vampires—implacable, not open to reason, fundamentally a-human, and NOT AT ALL SPARKLY—makes this possible.

I liked the way there was very little attention paid to the actual attack and the attempts to hide, which (boringly) occupy much of the film version.

And I liked the art and lettering—this is very much a matter of taste: I actually usually hate this sort of art, but I think it possible that I’ve been seeing a bunch of people imitating Templesmith and succumbing to Fail.

But, again, hardly the Horror Comics Messiah some would have it be….

30 days of night is an amazing graphic novel, your protencious are disgusting!! the art work is amazing and the dis-contection from the characters only adds to the desired affect of feeling isolated, your thoughts are a piss-poor excuse for a review!!

Saying that a comic felt like a story board with words is saying that they did their job. A comic is like a movie drawn out. The art was fantastic. Who can relate to people that live in a small town in northern alaska? I will take a shot in the dark and say only the people that live in that town. Kind of a unique idea? How many other modern vampire-feeding on towns in darkness ideas have you come across? I find through reading your words that I would most likely hate talking about review with you. Your glass is half empty and your taste leaves much to be desired.
