This is EASILY one of the best Graphic Novels I've read this year. And that's out of 390+ graphic novels. Come on folks, gather around, we have a winner.

Let me make it clear. I don't like vampires. I find most versions of these bloodsuckers kind of boring. I just don't get the appeal to be honest. I mean I love some stories like Salem's Lot but for the most part they are just not for me. So I went into Redneck really not expecting much. I never even read anything by Donny Cates. After this title that's going to change!

Remember True Blood? Southern vampires bickering and being little love-stricken babies. Not screw all that and put in Redneck vampires trying to survive. The story of Redneck revolves a family of vampires trying to just live their life. One night everything goes wrong, one of them is killed, and all hell breaks loose. This isn't your nice little vampires that sparkle these are vicious fuckers who can kill 20 or 30 people in seconds. By the end of the tale you are left breathless after the twist and turns.

Good: The characters are all broken in one way or another making them very interesting. The art is a big plus for me. I know some hate it but sometimes the sketchy type of art really grabs me and here it worked well. Especially in the darker moments when the vampires eyes glow, it gave me the creeps. The ending is great and leaves it open for so many interesting ways it can go. Very strong dialog mixed with interesting characters, make this one easy to recommend.

Bad: Maybe the art for some people?

Overall it's a great series that I was sucked into right away. The Rednecks are broken, mostly pieces of shit, but always interesting. I give this a 4.5 but I'ma hit a 5 just because it should be read by just about everyone.
