The Lost Boys, Volume 1 by Scott Godlewski, Tim Seeley

5.0

Lost Boys shouldn't be this good. Ninety nine times out of one hundred, Lost Boys would be a lazy, nostalgic retread probably published by IDW. What sets this graphic novel apart is that writer Tim Seeley rewards the readers passion for the source material while also moving the story forward and expanding the world of the original film beyond Santa Clara, murder capital of the world. Seeley knows that his only advantage over the dreadful film sequels is that he can keep Jason Patric and the Corey's young and set right after the 1987 movie. What follows is a great, impossible to film sequel that expands on the original film and consistently rewards fans of the original without ever feeling like fan service including an incredible expanded role for an unforgettable character from the original film that made my heart sing.
