Sure that an ancient tome, the Occido Lumen, holds the secret to defeating the Master, Fet and Setrakian head to the auction house for a different kind of battle. Meanwhile, Eph, sure of a conspiracy surrounding the vampire epidemic, mounts a secret mission to assassinate the wealthy and ailing Eldritch Palmer!
The Strain is well worth the read and if the television production can utilize the same elements of the graphic novelization (i.e. creepy visuals with lots of dark and brutal surroundings, deep pale faces, ultimate evil depictions, strong characterizations, etc.), then it should be a runaway hit. But don't wait for the show. Get this graphic novelization now. Read it, enjoy it, and see how this will play out. I know I am. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a good book. It has its hiccups that stop it from being a phenomenal story, but you should definitely give this book a read, or two since you probably won't know what is happening the first time you read it. The art is detailed and the story does have its moments of greatness. The Strain – The Fall #5 is a Dark Horse comic that is currently available at your local comic book store as well as through digital distribution. You can check out The Fall #6 in December 18. Check it out. Read Full Review
It looks like Ephraim and the rest of his team are on a losing streak in “The Strain: The Fall” #5. I really can't wait to see what happens next issue. Read Full Review
