Extinction Parade

Cover image for Extinction Parade by Max Brooks, 160 pages

This was a great graphic novel. It is about a hive of vampires that live in South America. Throughout their long lives they have watched small zombie apocalypse start and end with the humans surviving. It always ends the same way. The zombies start to appear the humans come and kill them. So when another zombie outbreak starts happening they don’t care. The humans will win eventually. Except this time the outcome is not as certain. Suddenly the vampires are faced with the hard truth of what do they eat if all of their food dies.

This is quite an unusual take on the standard vampire story, aided by the fact that there are also zombies. I look forward to seeing more of this series and if Brooks can keep this thriller of a graphic novel going.
