This volume collects all three issues of the 30 Days of Night comics. I love vampires and pretty much anything written about them, so that’s what drew me to this. The idea of vampires finding a town bathed in perpetual darkness for a month and wreaking havoc there is simple, but effective. It’s scary, and the climax is an interesting solution to the problem at hand. The art style reminds me of a more adult version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and definitely adds to the frightening atmosphere of the story.

I found it too short to really get into. The art style was fun in a dreary/creepy sort of way.

Surprisingly good for what could have been a cash grab.

I really can't understand why this series is so famous, it lacks in everything. Despite all that, I will read the rest of it at some point.

30 Days of Night gives you the vicious, violent vampires you know and love, but puts them in a setting you may not have seen before. The swirling, freezing cold of winter lies heavy on every page, brilliantly illustrated by artist Ben Templesmith. I’m a huge fan of his work (something of a cross between Dave McKean and Ralph Steadman), and it’s showcased wonderfully in a backdrop of ancient evil and dripping viscera. The stakes are clearly set: a horde of vampires versus a band of small town residents who must find a way to make it through the next thirty days of darkness. Will they survive to see the light of day?
As interesting as the story is, I found it incredibly rushed and even hard to follow at times. Really wish it had taken its time with everything because the set up/story ideas are great.
