Ratings and reviews

Same complaint about this that I had with Issue #0 of this Vampie run, Google doesn't have a CLUE WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT UNDER YHE READ MORE DESCRIPTION WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT ISSUES THIS COLLECTS! First, it collects issues #0-5 which is written on the 3rd page of this book for everyone to read IF GOOGLE BOOKS STAFF HAD DONE THEIR JOB A WASTED A MOMENT OF THEIR PRECIOUS TIME CHECKING THIS PAGE! Every graphic novel VOLUME that COLLECTS multiple issues into one ALWAYS CONTAINS A PAGE WITH THIS INFO just one or two pages after the cover, ANYONE WHO HAS EVER READ SUCH A COLLECTED VOLUME HAS SEEN ONE. This page also clearly lists this as Vol.#4 NOT Vol.1,#39, to ID this as Vampie storyline #4! I rarely buy from Google Books because they're so screwed up, if I find something interesting I price & info compare it on Amazon Kindle where, 99% of the time I buy it as I prefer the way the Comixology app zooms in panel-by-panel rather than Google's artwork-blocking bubble-zoom!

Of the books I've read through, this was my least enjoyed. The art [covers excluded] seems significantly lower quality, the story is incohesive, and the character now embodies "modern values" which seems odd given a vampires undead timelessness.
