The Vain, Volume 1 by Eliot Rahal
5.0
I say this all the time and I will say it again now: I love vampires! I'm not sure why but I have always had an afininity for them and I think this is a perfect example of why. This graphic novel had so many amazing things going for it! It has vampires, its queer, it spans decades, its got action, and love. This novel literally had everything.
I really enjoyed how this story was told and that it didn't shy away from exploring darker themes. A lot of times I see books or stories like this that just don't take it far enough but this novel did. I really enjoyed that.
I also loved the characters. Yes they were villains and definitely not the best people but they felt like what vampires would really be like in our world and throughout history. And not just them but the human characters as well felt very real in how they reacted.
This was just a solid vampire horror graphic novel. I throughly enjoy it for so many reasons and definitely plan of talking this one up for ages.
