While David Lapham’s script transcribed from Del Toro and Hogan’s vision is dead solid in its rendering and in conveying its message. The nightmare imagery of Mike Huddleston will send a chill down your spine that digs deep into your soul. Yeah, I said that already.ĭespite the darkness, everything with this issue is awesome. And when we see detail to all of the various parts of The Master’s plan, we really know that there is not one iota of good in this ancient evil. Our characters are hanging in there, but many are not. Now the elements of this issue are dark, real dark. And I once again settled right back into the story like a good comfortable pair of shoes. I actually liked it, despite the darkness of the subject matter. As I picked up this first issue of The Night Eternal, I found myself slide back quite easily into this world of doom and death.
I have not read the comic since the ending of The Fall, but I have been thoroughly enjoying the TV show.
The Night Eternalbegins two years after The Fall ended and we see some early backstory with The Master as well as some of our well-known characters scraping and scratching for survival, trying to find a key to ending the events that have taken complete hold on the entire world. But it is safe to say that it is all bad, real bad. I can’t really tell you what happened there. If you are familiar with The Fall, things ended there that set the tone for The Night Eternal. And with the opening of The Night Eternal, it would appear that those latter items of evil, darkness, and death have all but wiped out the former. We are now to book number three of this trilogy in regard to the comic book. The Strain has been a fantastic tale of good and evil, hope and darkness, and death and survival. And, if you have read the comic renditions of The Strain and The Fall… well then you know how writer David Lapham and artist Mike Huddleston have been killing it thus far. If you have read the books by Gullermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan…Well you know what excellent story you are reading in The Strain… If you are watching the FX television show that airs on Sundays at 10:00 PM… Well you know that The Strain is a creepy/cool tale that mixes in those things that are best in zombie apocalypse stories with gothic Nosferatu(y) vampire stories.
