2.0

The graphic novel is an adaptation from the novel by Rochard Matheson. I knew going in that the movie starring Will Smith was loosely based on the novel as well. 

I was expecting more than a drunk vampire hunter. The MC primarily sits and drinks and waits for a good day to go hunting. Eventually, the MC tries to find a cure. However, it becomes a moot subject by the end.


I felt let down by the plot and wondered if the novel itself had more depth.
