Ex Sanguine #1 Dark Horse - I found this story to be a bit puzzling at first, but the
characters were interesting enough to make me want to know more. Thankfully, my curiosity was
rewarded by the end of the book.
Tim Seely with the help of Josh Emmons, weaves an intricate tale of murder and blood-lust. The plot builds up layer upon layer, with each turn of the page taking us deeper into the world of the story.
Tim’s art - which is every bit as good as his writing - is perfectly suited to the subject matter, as well. I especially liked his rather unorthodox portrayal of a vampire; no sparkles here. In fact, this vampire is down-right ugly.
Ex Sanguine is a sort-of romance, sort-of detective story, that puts an interesting spin on the currently popular trends involving vampires and their behavior. In Mr. Seely’s own words it is “Kind of Dexter meets True Blood…”

Overall a good read. I’m definitely on board for issue #2. 8 corpses.
