I did not like the choppy editing of the story, either. I mean, the editor has simplified the story, even casting Louis in a villianous light. For example, when he refuses to agree that body-swapping is a good idea with Lestat, he says in one part "Good...I'd like to see you weep" with a rather nasty expression on his face. It sets him up as a veritable villian, when in fact in the original book he apologised for speaking like that, explaining that his worry for Lestat caused him to. His anguished statement, "I love you," is cut out too.

This may seem like a lot of griping over nothing, but it takes away from the sheer essence of the enduring love/hate relationship between Louis and Lestat. Coupled with the uninspired artwork, I found this to be a real disappointment, even though I am a huge fan of artwork and the Vampire Chronicles.

Do yourself a favour. Buy the novel instead. And then draw your own comic. I bet it'll be far superior to...this.

This does seem like it's rushed maybe, but still an excellent read. And of course David Talbot needed a good reason to become on of the undead.
