I love graphic novels.
Surprised?
Some of you might be, and that's perfectly fine. I know that not as many girls are into reading graphic novels much less reviewing them but thanks to Mr. Turning The Pages I now have a great love for them.
The reason I really wanted to read/review this one was because I loved the movie 30 Days of Night, and I've been meaning to give the graphic novels a chance so I had very high hopes for this one. However I was sorely disappointed.

Usually IDW has great graphic novels but I just could not get into this one at all. The only saving grace about it was the artwork which was fantastic. I just really wish that the the story line was better. I didn't like it at all. It was a quick read of course but it just lacked substance and felt to me as though it could have been a million times better.

I will however be continuing the series because I hope that it gets better as it goes on but if the next one is no better than I'll have to say so long, farewell to 30 Days of Night. I personally wouldn't recommend this one to many people except maybe those who've liked the other graphic novels.


*I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my free and honest review.

Not for me!

  1. I love graphic novel too!
    But I didn't like the movie 30 days of night, so I'll probably won't read the novel!
    Good you're still going to give it a chance!

  2. Awwh thats a shame to hear, my boyfriend has all the other 30 Days of Night graphic novels (as bought and recommend by me ehe) and he loves them. He'll probably end up with a copy of this too at some point so hopefully I can let you know what we think!

  3. An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
