I love the normalcy with which the vampire kids are portrayed compared to the vampire hunters without taking away the air of menace. And on the art side, Wayshak has a little bit of that Richard Corben flair for any time someone is doing something monstrous and does a little classic newspaper cartoon style for the more mundane moments.

This was a really good first issue. It did a great job of setting up the situation, explaining the world and characters and putting the plot into motion. The art was fantastic and fit the vibe perfectly. The writing was sharp and entertaining. The vampire-eaters remind me of Blade 2 heh. Definitely going on my pull list.
The story would be a lot easier to process if the design of the main characters didn't constantly flip between "giant-eyed cartoon moppets" and "adult little people in age-inappropriate children". That they're constantly swearing like sailors makes it extra confusing; I had to flip back a couple of times to make sure the comic did say they were meant to be kids.
As for the plot...it's the usual nonsensical Mike Carey stuff. If you like his other stuff, you'll probably like this also.
