DNF- I hated to not finish a second book this month, but I think I am so used to the 90s cartoon of Morbius that I couldn't get passed this one. It also was mixing a lot of other elements than just Morbius himself and his journey.

I received this book from a good friend of mine!
This book, as someone who’s done casual reading of marvel comics I’ve always had an idea who Morbius is, and what he does (Pre movie of course) and I’ve always dug the dark grittier comics he comes from. With that said, I think this book has a common issue with most comic adapted novels, which is trying to accomplish so much at once. This book is well written if you’re a casual fan but for the bigger fans I feel it can make things interesting in a negative way. The characters of Morbius, and Amanda are awesome and I really enjoy the power aspect Amanda gets. Catherine, Amanda’s sister who was presumed dead, I feel could’ve been a great build up enemy in maybe book two or something and I feel this makes you also feel like you’re missing out on a lot in some aspects. Over all this book,
For its entertainment value and it’s practicality get a 3.5 out of 5 from me.

Too bad the movie couldn’t have been based off of this story. At least it would have been fun.

Dr Michael Morbius had a rare blood disorder. In attempting to find a cure he turned himself into a vampire.
He finds a friend in Amanda Saint who’s sister is the leader of the Demon Fire Cult.
They fall into an underground Monster Fight Club & Morbius is quickly the headliner.
There’s a lot of gore & not as much Morbius as I would have liked but it was a fun, quick, finely narrated book! This must be the start of a series because there’s a lot of set up & character development.
3.75 stars
