Review
""Life Sucks" takes that old tired vampire idea, places it under ugly fluorescent lights and their dead end jobs and somehow the combination is electric. For even the most vamped out amongst us, "Life Sucks" offers something fresh and new. . . . a fascinating, thoughtful read."--"School Library Journal" Blog"This hilarious tale strikes perilously close to the reality of the slacker twenty-something life. Abel and Soria hit their mark with plenty of attitude and just enough snark to let their characters come to life. Warren Pleece's art marvelously captures the humor of the mundane that lend the book's crew of late-night wage-slave vamps believability and energy. A really fun read!"--"Booklist""Perfectly appropriate for older teens and adults, this book will appeal to fans of vampires, of coming of age stories, as well as those who love Kevin Smith's movie Clerks."--Five Star Review in ICv2 Graphic Novel Guide "There's plenty of humor with Dave's friend Jerome acting as a Clerks-like foil. . . . Abel and Soria's light approach, combined with Pleece's bright, Technicolor art, gives the book an entertaining Joss Whedon gloss to its Gen-Y bloodsucking melodrama."--"Publishers Weekly"
