Vampire astronauts. I mean, really. Who would ever expect to see those two words together?

I really liked the first two stories in this book, especially the way the first one was drawn. I liked the third one OK, but vampire astronauts didn't grab me like the more personal stories of Ikos and his encounters with the undead. ( )

Well, this was a collection of short stories as the title implies. The Journal of John Ikos brought... John Ikos, Dane, and Billy (from Dead, Billy, Dead) together to go against a group of extremist vampires. The story was good, and it's always a pleasure to see Dane. The way that Dane and Ikos interacted was very believable... and I am curious as to where Norris is now.

Picking Up the Pieces didn't hit me as strongly as The Journal of John Ikos, but it was still an okay story. I would like a bit more variety, rather than destroying Barrow Part Deux.

Dead Space... where do I begin? The story was fun, and rather clever. Vampires in Space is a fun enough concept, and Templesmith pulled off the artwork as only he can. The ending? Very interesting, in what it bodes for the rest of the series. I like the implications for sure.

All in all, this was a solid effort. I like the world of 30 Days of Night and I look forward to seeing where it will take us next. ( )

‘You are a hunter. You kill’
‘I eat what I kill’
‘So do I’ (p. 9)

This graphic novel is divided in three tales: Picking up the Pieces, The Journal of John Ikos, and Dead Space.
The first tale: a hunter in Alaska finds a corpse (an ex FBI agent and a vampire).
The second tale: John Ikos is out there hunting vampires.
The third tale: vampires in a space ship.

Comment: a part from the beatiful colors and pictures, all tales are boring and improbable.
An example: (inside the space ship the light turn off): ‘What happened to the light?’ - ‘They must have forgotten to pay the bill! ...” Is there something worse than this?

A second comment: vampires in the space ship: out there in the space there aren’t tree to make sticks, so it’s impossible to kills vampires. Is this the tale’s meaning?

To the authors: Have you ever seen Nosferatu with Klaus Kinsky? ( )
