The Vain, Volume 1 by Eliot Rahal
4.0
A group of vampires with their teeth in a bunch of recent historical events, from the Nazis of the 40s to the Nazis of the 2020s? Yes! This follows a group of vampires called The Vain--Lost, Marquis, North, and Fanny--as they rob blood banks, get recruited by the FBI to infiltrate and kill Nazis, end up in Cuba in the 50s, Vegas in the 60s, and more. Also intertwined with the story is Franklin, the FBI agent working the blood bank robberies, convinced that they're being done by...vampires! He doesn't know how right he is, and it destroys his career and lands him in a psychiatric hosptial.
This was a really neat read, watching vampires wreck havoc upon actual historical events like WWII and Cuba in the 50s. J. Edgar Hoover is in the thick of everything, as well. I enjoyed it. I could have used more about the downfall of Agent Franklin, but the comic format sometimes requires things be left unsaid due to the short nature of each comic. Still really well done, and enjoyable.
*I received a copy of The Vain from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
