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.

Wow! This was excellent. Very gross, sparse and only the essential shown or said. I can't wait to read the second and third. I may even have to watch the movie.

I really like these books! The artwork is just wonky enough to not be terrifying. It looks as if he takes a photo of the very middle of a face (nose,lips,chin) and then animates over that. I love the look of it. I can't wait to get the rest.
