I say second because, really, can anything compete with 'Sandman'?
The illustrations are gorgeous, lush and full of movement. The story is interesting but is secondary to the artwork. If you love dark art, buy this. If you love beautiful high-quality books, buy this.

I got this for Christmas in '05 and it is probably the most beautiful edition of the core trilogy 30 Days of Night (which is not a film franchise). I wont be talking about the story, (there are plenty of reviews of that here and elsewhere) other than to say its one of the most original takes on the popular vampire mythos of the 21st century. The books are hardcover and over sized, which present the color and artwork in amazing detail. Volume one is signed by both Niles and Templesmith, volumes 2 and 3 are not signed. The slipcase is really sturdy and handsomely illustrated in black. The individual volumes are hardcover and contain added features like the original script, sketches and storyboards. If you are a fan of Niles/Templesmith's 30 Days of Night this is a must have collection, if you can find it for less than $150.

THere are some very orignal ideas in the script, but most of all it has unique and beatifull art(I were almost drooling when I read it!). After reading this comic I have become a hugh fan of Ben Templesmith.

It is a bit expensive compared to other TPBs, but the quality of the paper is well worth it. (BTW the quality of all IDWs TPBS are outstanding but expensive!) I highly recommend this.

I purchased this title mainly because i like the artist.so i bought the "complete" edition thinking there would be alot more artwork and stories-as said in the discription-.but to my dissapointment there wasnt,just the script to the book which is just pointless seeming you read it throughout the story anyway and a diary from some1 in it.And thats it.the story starts off half good then is just rushed towards the end,like the writer thinks "right i've had enough of this,lets just finish it up".I suppose i can sell it on ebay when the film comes out to double the money i paid for it.

I liked this story when it was done in Vampirella by Mark Millar.

I wonder why all of the author's stories feel so familiar?
