My Thoughts:
The story starts off with Jack falling in love and marrying Lucy in 1927, only for her to be targeted by a vampire and turned. Van Hellsing kills her, but the other vampire is still at large. Many years later, Jack remarries, just for the same thing to happen again. Jonathan, a young man with a passion for music, attends a festival in the area. All hell breaks loose when vampires start attacking the attendees, and the sheriff is under the vampire's mind control. Jonathan must find a way to escape with his friends with the help of the son of Van Hellsing.
I think this was a very new and interesting vampire setting. I have never come across one where vampires attack a music festival. While I do think that the concept was great, the execution was not as well done. The only fleshed out character is Jack, who ends up dying partway through the graphic novel. The rest of the characters just seem surface-level and one-dimensional. While I do understand that it is more difficult to develop characters in graphic novel format, it is possible, as it was with Jack. That being said, I did enjoy the story and it was a fun, quick read.
My Rating: 2 stars
