Because it does not, however, we are left with an ending that is not only unsatisfactory, it requires a Deus ex Vampira to succeed. This is one of those books where the story would have been fine if it had just ended about twenty pages sooner, not unlike Paris. There's quite a bit of angsting by Dave both before and after this contest, but never fear, because in the end, boy gets girl-and his vampiric mojo to boot. Soon, both Dave and Wes must decide who gets Rosa, and enter into a rather demeaning contest in relation to Rosa, once you stop to think about it. Wes revels in his status, using his vampiric powers to bolster his life and reputation. Dave refuses to kill and drinks stale blood-bank blood. He crushes hard on a goth-chick named Rosa, but lacks the ability to woo her until he's challenged by Wes, another member of the undead, but one who deals with the idea better. So imagine my surprise when I read this graphic novel, which seems to cover the same idea, but comes to a very different (and, I think, flawed) conclusion.ĭave Miller is a low-level vampire stuck in a Clerks-like job. I really enjoyed La Perdida, Abel's book of a woman's misadventures in Mexico as she tries to be something she's not. Written/Illustrated by Jessica Abel, Gabe Soria, and Warren Pleece
