Tired of vampire films whose plot is teen romance rather than hardcore blood and gore?
Check out a new vampire comic series from Studio 407 called THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST. Think: "30 Days of Night" meets "Scream." It's coming to bookstores everywhere in February.
Here's what reviewers have said about issue #1:
NP reads a little like DC's Night Force, a little like Man-Thing, a little Swamp Thing, then a grand piano of early Stephen King dropped on top for good measure. This isn't your overly-sparse, content-lacking Steve Niles horror story of the modern era. Night Projectionist is as concept-driven as 30 Days of Night, but offers a far more charitable load of character, event, tone, and nuance.
-Dave Baxter, Broken Frontier
A spooky theater. A group of mismatched people. A shadowy man with pointy teeth and piercing eyes. All ingredients for the fun that makes up THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST... An impressive first issue and one I will be following as the series progresses.
- Ain't It Cool News
Heske's writing is nice and crisp... The dialogue feels natural and never clunky. He does an excellent job of setting up tension and subplots that will play out in the series itself. Artist Diego Yapura has an excellent style for this story. It has elements of old school EC Comics, while maintaining a modern feel.
- Comics Bulletin
The Night Projectionist is a no-holds-barred, bone-chilling tale of blood and revenge.
- The Rundown
Here is where you can preview the book -
