This is a unique graphic novel featuring a cotton slave turned vampire turned modern day narcoleptic tattoo artist. It's definitely not your every day story arc, but I think that's what makes it all the more interesting. It's dark and quirky. Although this first installment of DayBlack sets the scene for what could be quite an intriguing storyline, I must say things need to be more plot driven going forward. Oh, and the art is amazing.

Well, this was an unexpected #scaretober read. I picked this up from the new shelf at the library with zero knowledge of its contents (I really liked the cover art)... and it turns out to be about a narcoleptic tattoo artist vampire living in a small Georgia town. Interesting premise and great art. Only downside is the somewhat underdeveloped characters and abrupt ending. Will be on the look out for future volumes, though, for sure.

moranadatter I enjoyed this one too! 8y
