The same can be true when an artist refuses to settle into a pattern, especially if he or she has had great success with a particular approach.

If Lemire has adopted the quicker pacing of his recent mainstream works, he still knows when to pan the camera back and let his layouts project the vivid imagination bustling inside of him. And for Lemire to share that, all we can say is thank you. Cliff Chiang, Others Publisher: Is she a feminist symbol? Or a God of Olympus?

As Diana learns about herself, so do we. In the end, she embodies all of these roles in certain ways. Still, there is a kind of comfort in the chance of a good outcome, or at least an idea that it is generally better to exist than not to, as well as an amused perspective from above at our helplessness and thrashing about.

The centerpiece of Marvel's exquisite horror line-up from the 's, deliberately cast in the same vein as Universal's monster movies. The first several issues are interesting but directionless, as the series was bounced between several of horror comics' biggest names, including Gerry Conway, Roy Thomas, Gardner Fox, and Archie Goodwin, before finding a consistent voice with Marv Wolfman. Much of the fun in Tomb of Dracula comes from the larger than life vampire hunters Rachel Van Helsing and Blade, and the frequent crossovers with Marvel titles such as Werewolf by Night and Dr.

Strange, but Dracula himself steals the show, setting the standard for the public domain villain's appearances throughout comics. Angst and ennui to the power of eternity, Jessica Abel and Gabe Soria discover an entirely new but surprisingly comfortable setting for vampire fiction in 90's slacker flicks.

THE BEYOND / 30 issues

Warren Pleece's art sets the perfect tone for this indie, slice-of-life graphic novel that takes a few choice bites out of the dating scene, crappy friends, and even crappier bosses. And what's even more exciting, America isn't the only part of the world with its own native vampire population. All over the world are similar creatures, but with wildly different attributes, and how they interact with one another is fascinating to behold. The most compelling thing about Rick Remender's tale of high seas revenge is its flat out refusal to go how you expect. When Marco Esperanza is turned into a vampire and left tied to a sinking ship while the blood-hungry pirates who left him there sail towards his family's home, his inevitable vengeance seems only a few pages away.

But the story doesn't pick up for nearly another five hundred years, and when it does Marco is placed at the mercy of an egomaniacal film director. It's an edge-of-your-seat survival story that throws one madcap obstacle at its hero after another, and it really succeeds at pulling the reader in because it's so good at making you feel completely unprepared for whatever comes next.

Deadbeats is a vast romantic saga that ranges from small town soap opera to interdimensional epic, coming across as an odd but appropriate blend of Dark Shadows and The Lost Boys, with just a bit of Claremont's X-Men thrown in. Ricardo Villagran's enchanting and evocative art carries the series, with all the moody action of classic EC horror comics paired with the charming design of Elfquest. The series ran in print form until , and continues to this day as a webcomic on claypoolcomics.

Released in over several issues of AD's flagship self-titled magazine, Fiends of the Eastern Front inspired several sequels and spinoffs throughout the last decade, one as recently as this year, but the original remains a genre-defining work of military horror. Deftly written by Judge Dredd co-creator Gerry Finley-Day and grotesquely drawn to life by World of Tanks' Carlos Ezquerra, the story would make war seem terrifying enough even without the inclusions of inhuman monsters.

The truth however, is so much worse, as revealed in the diary of an unearthed German soldier named Hans Schmitt. Schmitt, stationed alongside a group of Romanian soldiers who fought only by night, reveals the true nature of these men, and of WWII's bloodiest battles, in a record which has been lost to time until now.
