The Chronicles of Legion Vol. 1: Rise of the Vampires by Fabien Nury

2.0

Not that good, or at least as thought it would be. I bought the first instalment a couple of years before, remember back then something was stopping me for purchasing the second book always opting in for something else. I decided to get all three of them on a sale of a local (UK, forbidden planet) online store. After finishing them all realised what was going on.

The elements of a good series are there in theory but once they are put into place and mixed they do not produce a great result for someone to invest their time and money into. Different people draw with different styles, each on a corresponding period, which although as an idea is great, although not that novel, it hurts the story. The story is a bit incoherent while at the same time there is nothing really novel that has not already been explored about vampires. At the end after reading the last page, I did not feel that I wasted my time but rather that given the options out there should have chosen something else.

Good parts: European style drawing, which we definitely need more of in English.

Note: did not know until posting this that this was a prequel to another series.
