I, Vampire, Vol. 2: Rise of the Vampires by Joshua Hale Fialkov, Andrea Sorrentino
4.0

Visually stunning, good story line. A degree of characters to like and hate with a strong plot and a nice twist. I'm very much enjoying the I, Vampire series and starting to feel very sorry for Andrew Bennett as he can't seem to catch any breaks!

Tig is annoying as hell and I find her completely unsympathetic. Mary might be evil with designs on power, destruction and the annihilation of mankind but at least she's got style and panache - you understand her motivation. Toughton is a tough nut to crack a and a very loyal friend.

For something within the New DC 52 this is very much worth a try. These vampires aren't namby-pamby sparkly Emo's or camp 80's throwbacks, in fact they take cheap pops at the stereotypes, they are gritty, violent and very, very hungry.
