Title: Why the hype?
Review: Ok, first of all i love vampires. but this?Steve Niles comes up with an interesting concept here, with a town with 30 days of night, but the actual story reads like a high school short story collection entry. He seemed so wrapped up in the concept that he had no idea how to end the story. You can see how he starts off explaining in a huge info dump at the beginning of the story. This is prime example of the "Telling, not showing" which goes against most creative writing paradigms. Now, that being said, the story's weakest section is the ending. He just seemed to end it, with many loose ends and plot holes.The artwork was interesting though. I will not go so far as to say i liked it, because it was too obscured and foggy for my taste, but i can understand the artist's intent.This was just a book that was hard to keep in my hands, rather than hard to put down.And now they are making a movie? there is hope for it, but they better not stay exact to the story of this comic book.
Is the review positive or negative?
