I, Vampire #11 – Review

The Story: As it turns out, the undead feeding on the undead is only a good idea in theory.

The Review: Considering how many titles I picked up within the first month of the DC relaunch (thirty-one) and how many I added along the way (twelve) and how many I still keep up with (twenty-six), it’s actually quite an achievement for I, Vampire to have stuck around on my pull list for this long.  Honestly, I would’ve guessed that I’d drop I, Vampire long before I dropped Teen Titans or Legion Lost, so this series has surpassed my expectations in many ways.

But upon some reflection, this title really stopped doing that somewhere shortly after the first two or three issues.  What drew me to the series in the first place—what convinced me that I wouldn’t just be reading Twilight in a comic book (which probably ranks up there in my Things I Would Commit a Felony Not to Do list) was both the complex relationship between Andrew and Mary and the conflicting ideologies they embodied.
