This was a delight! I love The Lost Boys film and this was a continuation of the story. So many Emerson family feels and Frog Brother feels.
I never liked Star! And sexy saxophone dude from the pier is a hippie vampire hunter. I loved seeing the characters in further vampire hunting shenanigans. A must-have for fans of the movie!

This doesn't fit well as a sequel to the movie.

If you've watched The Lost Boys for the hundredth time and want more, this is a great choice for a fun story that doesn't take itself too seriously. I know there are movie sequels, but since this one is a direct continuation with all of the surviving characters from the first, we get more time with all of the classic characters fans of The Lost Boys love.

Lost Boys shouldn't be this good. Ninety nine times out of one hundred, Lost Boys would be a lazy, nostalgic retread probably published by IDW. What sets this graphic novel apart is that writer Tim Seeley rewards the readers passion for the source material while also moving the story forward and expanding the world of the original film beyond Santa Clara, murder capital of the world. Seeley knows that his only advantage over the dreadful film sequels is that he can keep Jason Patric and the Corey's young and set right after the 1987 movie. What follows is a great, impossible to film sequel that expands on the original film and consistently rewards fans of the original without ever feeling like fan service including an incredible expanded role for an unforgettable character from the original film that made my heart sing.

I love film The Lost Boys, but I wasn't a fan of the art in this comic. The plot was interesting. It would've been a better film sequel than The Tribe, though it's still not as strong as the original film.

The Lost Boys Vol. 1 picks up where the movie left off. The Frog brothers are celebrating their victory over David and his gang of vampires but their victory is short-lived. There are new vampires in town and their gang is called the Blood Belles. Will the Frog brothers be able to defeat this new gang in the "murder capital of the world," Santa Carla? You'll have to read this to find out!
I enjoyed the nostalgia I felt while reading this. Back in 1987 when the movie came out, it was all the rage. We got two Coreys-Feldman and Haim, not to mention the good looking Jason Patrick. For me though, it was great to see David again,(portrayed by the incredibly hot Kiefer Sutherland in the film), he was always my favorite. I think this volume stayed true to the feel of the original movie and the characters-I was happy about that.
What I didn't much like was the dialogue and the simplicity of the story line. I understand that this is for fun and nostalgia and all that, but there's no reason that the story can't be more geared to adults. Even though there was some language here, I feel like it was geared more to the person I was back in the 80's, rather than who I am now. Does that make any sense?
I can't complain too much though, because I did enjoy this comic quite a bit. The graphics were dynamic and true to the movie and I loved seeing all these old characters again-(man, I wanted to be Star, [Jamie Gertz]), back then. I had a lot of fun reading this and will continue with the series, if only just for the fun and nostalgia of it.
