5.0 out of 5 stars THE STORY CONTINUES IN THIS BRILLIANT MANGA!, April 13, 2006

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Jerry Cho's outstanding series Vampire Hunter: Claws of Darkness continues to weave its irresistible magic in this third issue of the slickly produced, Manga format comic in bold, full color. The action steps up a few paces as more information is revealed about the drub/crime lord Gino Carlos and the unyielding hold that he has on the small, sleepy Mexico border town of Santa Anna. Carlos was raised from a boy by the benevolent local priest Father Gerardo. Carlos disappeared to Columbia for a number of years before returning to Mexico as a changed man and now a ruthless drug lord and something more. Despite numerous attempts on his life, attempts that no ordinary man could possibly survive, Carlos has continued to thrive. All this is related to Nicholas Bane by father Gerardo.

But they may all change now with the arrival of the mysterious vampire hunter Nicholas Bane, who has been drawn to the town by the taint and smell of the creatures of the night. But Bane may not even be the worst threat facing Carlos. As we saw in the second issue, a ravaging, wolf-like beast has been systematically hunting down Gino's men and tearing them to shreds. Only the intervention of Anna manages to save Bane from the beast's attack as Bane will finally confront Gino in the latter stages.

Claws of Darkness is a beautifully produced comic/graphic novel series. It's printed on thick, glossy stock paper and the colors in the painted book by Jozev are dazzling. The comic-sized book is produced in traditional Manga format to be read from right to left. As a person who reads a lot of black & white Manga titles, it was nice to read one in full-color and a larger format than the more traditional digest-sized books. Check out the Dr. Master website if you can't find the book in stores. It's well worth the search!
