Tady budu přísnej, přece jen má 30 Days nálepku kultu, tak je čas ho trochu poplivat. První dvě pokračování, který byly součástí prvního omnibusu byly fajn, ale tady už to celkem dost drhne.
Bloodsucker Tales je slepenec tří příběhů, kde ten první působí jako random fanfikce a dalš dva (Juarez), který píše Fraciton, jsou příšerný. Vyřešit vnitřní monology tim, že si hrdina bude mluvit nahlas pro sebe je asi to nejdebilnější, co sem za posledních pár let viděl. (1*)
Eben & Stella trpí na mizernou kresbu, kde sem většinu času nevěděl kdo je kdo a po stránce scénáře sem taky tápal v nějakejch motivacích postav. (1*)
Red Snow je naopak fajn, Náckové vs. Sověti vs. upíři + scénář i kresba od Templesmitha... na tom se nedá nic zkazit. (4*)
Beyond Barrow má vcelku fajn příběh, ale bohužel nepatřim mezi uctívače Sienkiewicze, takže vizuálně pro mě spíš mučení. (2*)
Doufám, že mazané hlavy z IDW a Nilese nenapadne tuhle upíří zdechlinu dál ždímat. Myslím, že průser v podobě reimaginace původního příběhu, která vyšla pár let zpátky, snad není potřeba opakovat.

The original three 30 Days of Night graphic novels are better than this group of related stories, but it was still a decent horror show. I'll have to read two of the stories again to completely understand what happened in them. The best story is the last story in the Omnibus - Beyond Barrow - which returns the reader to Barrow after the original vampire attacks, but this time, there are more interesting monsters afoot. Good enough - but don't expect this Omnibus to be as good as Volume 1.

Red Snow is the best out of this lot. Eben & Stella is also good. The rest are a bit mehh.

I disliked pretty much every story in this book, and didn't like how the women were portrayed. I also didn't like the change of artwork throughout the stories. For such a simple premise, a lot of it was confusing. I definitely enjoyed the movie more!
