After becoming a vampire Valla chose to live in the depths of the oceans where she thrived until one day a terrible darkness destroyed everything she held dear. Vowing to find the cause of the darkness, Valla returns to land and begins a quest that leads her to Big Oil. Intent on stopping the darkness and those responsible, Valla hunts down the culprits in a unique take on on a very serious subject: the fuel industry and how it is harming the environment. Plus, there are deadly vampires. What's not to like about it?

Wow... I really loved this. This was a great take on Global Warming issues!
It was so short but in that short amount of pages, it managed to pack in a pretty deep message.
I freaking love Valla, the main character. She's more of a... well, I don't know what she is, but she is definitely not a "hero". But, she's definitely not a "villain" either.
This graphic novel was a little paranormal, gothic, past and future, & science fiction all rolled into one. I was legit grinning ear-to-ear for Valla & every time she murdered or destroyed something (of which you'll know what I am talking about when you read this).

A gorgeous, blonde vampire absconds to the bottom of the ocean to live her life in peace and quiet among the jellyfish. When her home and wildlife are threatened by an oil spill, she emerges from the water to fuck shit up. But, first she needs funds and how does one obtain these funds as quickly as possible? By becoming a Cam Girl, duh. This comic is a lot of things. It’s funny, it’s gory, it’s stupid, it’s absurd and it’s fun to read. It pokes fun at everyone and everything from bleeding-heart environmentalists to greedy, corrupt big business to sanctimonious, bible-thumping (literally) maniacs.
This isn’t a comic series with a wide appeal, but if you’ve dipped your toe into comics before, appreciate variety and irreverent humor, I think this is worth a look-see.
