I found the story had too much Americana in it. The Americian dream narrative I find too problematic. The illustrative style was not one that appealed to me so overall despite my fascination with the vampire theme I could not get into this series.

This was a nice thrilling re-read. Can't wait to read the second one!

I've enjoyed some of Scott Snyder's other graphic novels, as I enjoyed this one. I love a romping good tale of vampires - especially the play through time. Might be too dark for some, but, not me.

I liked the art work and the European vs American vampire dichotomy (though inaccurate because there are European myths that feature vampires who can walk in broad daylight.) but that's it.
The anti-hero didn't have any qualities that could make me care about him or not be irritated by him. The characters were like stock characters without good motives and that last bit with James and Abileno is just creepy.

An interesting vampire story that engages but doesn't capture. Decent fare.
