Continuing the series, I once more am a bit torn. The first story "Dead Billy Dead" tells the tale of a man unwittingly turned into a vampire. He, Billy, returns to his ex-girlfriend Maggie for help. Maggie then calls the professor (Doctor Saxon) who hosted Stella's lecture about vampires the previous year. Doctor Saxon is pretty much crazy - commence the vivisection on Billy.

The second story was "Juarez" which I previously read as a stand-alone. Juarez, with a second read, still made absolutely no sense to me. I enjoy the character of Lex Nova, who has a certain sort of Gonzo charm. I... still have no idea what the heck he was, or what he was doing, and am relieved to see that other people also found it incomprehensible. I wanted to like it, I really did, and I enjoyed the artwork on both stories immensely.

All in all, I'm going to continue reading the 30 Days of Night series through to the end. I'm not ready to give up on it just yet. ( )

I have no idea what that was... but I wasn't a fan. It made no sense to me. I also didn't realize it was a graphic novel when I ordered it... sad day. It only took an hours to read, on the plus side, so now I can move onto better books. ( )

30 Days of Night: Bloodsucker Tales the most recent installment I finished and the 4th in the series. I have to say it will be the last in the series for me. This book has two standalone stories; the first shows a man battling with his recent transformation to vamp & the second has a "P.I." (or is he?) going to a town in Mexico to investigate the disppearance of reportedly 400 of the their girls. The first story was fairly enjoyable for me- I liked the main characters conflict about his new desires and continued love of his ex-girlfriend. The second was imitally somewhat amusing due to the P.I.'s habit of doing his own quite audible "hard boiled detecive style" thoughts on the folks he encounters but ultimately it degenerated into a tasteless & unnecessary mish mash of violence (and being a large fan of the horror genre it takes a lot for me to say that- I often forget to warn people of gore lol). You can pick this up and read it without reading anything else in the 30 Days series but honestly I don't know why you would want to.
Three and a half stars for the first story, Two for the second overall a very generous three stars (helped by my continued appreciation for the talent art work wise) Not reccomended ( )
