They&#8217;re all odd looking in some way or another, and that&#8217;s about all the information we get about them. This issue deals with one of the characters suddenly turning into a vampire and the complete lack of concern by his friends when he starts killing people. You&#8217;ve all read me complaining about grammar in these mini comics at some point, and you&#8217;ve all read about me bitching about the improper use of &#8220;you&#8217;re&#8221; and &#8220;your&#8221;, &#8220;there&#8221; and &#8220;their&#8221;, things like that. Well, in #0 (no, I&#8217;m not going to review all the issues. I didn&#8217;t think much of it, and it&#8217;s my discretion we&#8217;re going with here) he mentions that it&#8217;s done for the sake of an inside joke, which is all well and good, as mini comics are the most insider jokiningest things out there. Here&#8217;s the thing, and maybe there&#8217;s a nice way to put this&#8230; ah, screw being nice. It makes him look like a moron. That thought crosses my mind when it happens once or twice, when it&#8217;s constant I start to wonder if the guy has an education at all. All that wouldn&#8217;t make that much difference if the story was engaging or entertaining at all, and there wasn&#8217;t much to latch onto in the first few issues. Maybe I&#8217;m just in a pissy mood because I&#8217;ve had a cold for the better part of two months, but I really didn&#8217;t come away from this feeling like I&#8217;d gotten much out of it. <a href=\"mailto:fruitycomics@yahoo.com\">E-mail him<\/a> if you like or send him money at: 1092 E.
