As with every comic/graphic novel these days, the complete "30 Days of Night" collection is available via iOS App. Head on over to Comixology to get stuck into the human claret drenched series, the vampire romp also has a dedicated App of its own via IDW Publishing. They'll even shout you 3 free comics when you sign up. Ace. Everyone loves free stuff.
We all know the story by now (even non comic fans, thanks to the movie) where for one month in every year, Barrow, an isolated Alaskan town, is plunged into darkness, leaving it a party town for murder loving vampires. Its a satisfying slice of gore and storytelling (Steve Niles) with some brilliant illustrations by Ben Templesmith.
I recently read "Beyond Barrow" and "Bloodsucker Tales" and enjoyed both. Vampires fans who have not yet taken the plunge into Barrow should definitely do so. I do have some niggles though. Firstly the lettering; some of the panels have bold red words over a black background which makes it difficult to read. It feels very hard on the eyes. Secondly, owing to some of the fine drawings which have a faded look, this series is better read on a larger tablet over the iPhone.
