30 Days of Night, Vol. 1 by Steve Niles

4.0

I’ll be honest: I read this because I liked the movie. I watched it recently, found out it was based on a comic, and then I read that comic. I’m not going to pretend this is better than the movie; they were both great in their own ways. The movie did a lot more for character development, and expanded on what it was like living in Barrow during the vampire attack. Also, Josh Hartnett played an excellent Eben. The comic on the other hand, made the vampires seem a lot less savage and much more intelligent, and the writing paired with the art style made for a quick and easy, yet spooky read. The art is…odd, but it fits the story really well, and really added to the grim ambiance that the writing created. When it comes down to it, both the movie and the comic have their strengths, and I highly recommend both things.
