The I Support I, VAMPIRE thread

[ArnoldoAAD]

I'll admit that I'm a bit disconcerted by the upcoming guest stars and crossover though....particularly since last issue, the first to have a guest star, was by far the weakest issue thus far, imo.

:(

actually i thought the opposite
it was a pretty good portray of John Costantine and Andrew look badass on this
and the twist at the en was surprisingly well done

[FHIZ]

I never notice, then i looked at solicits of #7
and here is the cover



i guess is cause there is really nothing going on in it that i never notice the change

and if I remember correctly, that was given a "not final cover" too.

Yeah I thought issue 4 was good as well. It was a quick read compared to the previous issues, but thats okay as this is a quick stop on our way to Gotham so its best not to dwell too much. Even with that, alot was done with issue 4. Constantine was handled very well (if this is a preview of how they'll handle their other guest heroes, then this is going to get even better) and setup the coming crossover, revealed something about Tig who needed some development even if it comes across as a cliche (she is the weakest character, but I don't think she'll be sticking around for long at least I think she'll die in this coming crossover), and Andrew tried to not kill a vampire and try and teach him control that lead to a big mistake for him. We'll see how this affects his mindset as the series goes especially with his relation to Tig which is shaky as it is.

Quick question about this coming crossover. Is this going to be handled similar to the Frankenstein/OMAC crossover where you don't really need both of them to understand the story? Because looking at the solicits for issues 6-8 of I, Vampire and issues 7-8 of Justice League Dark, it seems like we might need both.

Let me couch this by saying that I think I, Vampire is an excellent book that deserves more readers, and that it is among the very best of the new 52.

That said, where you thought the twist at the end was well done, I thought it was completely ludicrous and lazy writing on the part of Fialkov. Seriously, what were the odds of that? It was an utterly unbelievable ridiculous coincidence. In fact, the twist at the end was easily among the top things I disliked about that issue.

No way, last issue was fantastic. The stark contrast between Andrew and the straggling vampire he meets was a fascinating dynamic IMO.

I think is going to be more like a real crossover and you need both

yeah, it was not very well presented, like you said , what are the odds?
but i think it fit on everything that its being done and it kind of gives it a certain sense
like the girl is in this city looking for his father, its build over a big coincidence but the rest is pretty well done
but still you can react like "oh sh!t!!" when it happens, at least that how it happen to me however your point is perfectly valid

[TheVampire]

i think what i like in this series is that it is pretty "intense" and tragic. Maybe it's because of the art, or the way things are managed.. but even when nothing seems to happen, you have a feeling of melancholy that pervades the scenes.
In the opening scene, when Andrew transforms himself in bat, you've no words nor anything "bad" happening, but you may almost feel some "pain" in it. The same when Andrew has to kill the "younger vampire" in the end. It's like it cuts off your "hopes" along with his head.
It's like a big tragic horror tale, intense, passionate and painful.

yeah its just a perfect combination of writer and artist
the book wouldnt be the same with a different artist and the same writer or the same artist and a different writer

can anyone tell me if the JLD/I Vampire Crossover is confirmed to be something where you need both or it's just two sides to the same story

[Thoctar]

I don't know that it's confirmed anywhere, but the solicitations sure make it sound like each involved issue is an additional installment in the story, unlike OMAC/Frank. Seems to me we'll need both.

EDIT: After a brief moment of retrospection, would it not be beneficial if the OMAC/Frank crossover was more or less a typical approach to crossovers in the relaunched continuity? Not needing both sides to enjoy the whole story, I mean. Each book can tell the story in a way that preserves its own tone and artistic cohesion. On the other hand, readers of both essentially get the same plot points twice. Double-edged sword, I guess.

Pretty sure you need both. They're identifying it as one story "the Rise of Caine."

Runs from March-April.
