Interesting read. Definitely like the different take on vampires and how the story gave you just enough of a calm start before it went to the action. But overall I really enjoyed it.

Well, they can't all be winners.
This is the first Cullen Bunn comic that I haven't enjoyed. His brand of southern gothic horror usually hits just the right spot. Blood Feud, however, is a definite miss.
An apparent homage to movies like Evil Dead, this comic doesn't offer any new or interesting takes on the genre. The characters are all bland and forgettable. The story meanders from one grim encounter to the next without any real high points. The setup is Evil Dead meets the Hatfield/McCoy feud, but the characters are seemingly too busy running around the woods to explore this concept in any depth. The ending feels as rushed as it does unsatisfying. This wouldn't be nearly so disappointing if I hadn't seen the kind of depth and atmosphere that Bunn can bring to horror comics. His Harrow County is consistently eerie and impressive, and I highly recommend it to any fan of rural horror stories.
Bunn is in no way assisted by Drew Moss' artwork. The perspective is bad, the backgrounds are dull and all-too-often monochromatic, and the character work often seems rushed and sloppy. In particular I didn't care for his vampires, which look like giant chunky mole rats whose mouths are crammed with stalactite-sized fangs.
Even the best of writers occasionally put out unremarkable work. Blood Feud, in my opinion, falls squarely into this category.

A rather shaky start for my journey into "Blood Feud." I found this a bit of a drag despite the shortness in length. The illustrations were great, hence 3 stars, but the story wasn't enough to keep me gripped.

Not bad, not as good as 'Harrow County,' which builds its world a bit better. Granted, 'Blood Feud' is a realistic, modern world, but the characters weren't as well-developed as HC. But there was some nice grue, I liked Jack, and the Master was sufficiently awesome-looking. I do wish they'd done more with the Master, though.
