I'm not very familiar with graphic novels and the form. The Sandman Series by Neil Gaiman introduced me to the genre and I'm hard-pressed to not compare the two series.
30 Days of Night was certainly creepy and horrifying. The artwork gave a morbidly creepy atmosphere. The artwork gave a nightmarish quality to the story and with the fact that Alaska and the polar regions go through long periods of light and dark makes them vampire playgrounds.
I'm surprised by how short this work was, but it was part of a trilogy. However, it was the right length to explore the vampire myth in a modern setting. The vampire in this graphic novel was sentient, violent, and physically strong. The vampire in the work was eerie and coupled with the artwork adds a level of morbidity.
Rating: 4.5/5
