Killadelphia, Vol. 1: Sins of the Father

They had me at “Black Vampires.” Damn, this was so good. The art, the story, and the history. I'm almost scared to find out what happens in Volume 2 because it ain't going to be pretty. Pick up a copy today. Go on.

I read this for an online book club. While I am glad I tried something different, this didn't fully hit the mark for me. Some many panels were truly beautiful or shocking, while others were just confusing. Some of the cast were difficult to tell apart with the strange lighting choices. And the antagonist has a very stupid plan. That being said, I enjoyed to story and I thought dealt well with themes of family and corruption. I liked the twists and there several characters I would be interested in following if I could follow only them.

My boyfriend got this for me for Valentines day. Perfect read since he knows how much I like vampires. Great solid plot all around with the perfect gritty artwork to match. I will be picking up volume 2 to see how it ends.

At was quite something to look at. Concept was fun. I liked Tevin quite a lot, but I wanted more of him and the vampires with whom he hung out and then fell out. Less cop, less Adams, more Abigail and Brittany. But the cop thing was the biggest party, and it left me cold.
