Violator 1 &2

Nice production values, shame about the comic. This is the first two
parts of a three-part mini series and the possibility exists that if you
have part three or read the related Image titles then it's absolutely
wonderful. But I doubt it. This comic is hack and slash fodder
designed to appeal to underage types who canšt get into 18s films yet.
It's a cynical pitch to those non-entities who confuse Vampire the
Role-Playing Game with real life who will no doubt flock in black-clad
hordes to buy it. Assuming that they can wade their way through the sea
of fifteen year olds with hormone imbalances. I sincerely hope that
Alan Moore took this project for money, not love, because the idea that
his talent is reduced to scripting sub-Pratchett dialogue for superhero
vs. demons slugfests. Don't waste your time.
