The twist is that the vampire is NOT the merciless serial killer
2.5 stars Ah, the joys of reviewing something you read in about an hour about two weeks ago and that didn’t make that much of an impact. I’m sorry, but I have to once again resort to the lazy/forgetful reviewer’s trick of using the Goodreads summary: One’s a natural-born killer – a remorseless hunter gleefully prowling the night for victims to quench an unnatural blood lust.

If you haven’t read it yet (what is wrong with you, do you not like awesome things?), this trade is not the place to start. It collects issues 19-24 of an ongoing story. I’m going to try really hard to review it without spoiling anything major, but tread with caution if you’re not caught up. Marko and Alanna and their hunted little family are laying low […]
