Bleed Them Dry started off in its first issue in an interesting way and it plays with a lot of that here so that everything Harper knows is a lie. Well, not really, but a lot of the larger things she accepts as a normal thing in how the world works is a lie. And that's not easy to handle while grappling with becoming a vampire yourself. Rahal has a lot going on here and it definitely works well but has me hoping that this isn't a short-run series because it's serving up some big things that really need some breathing room to explore as it progresses. Ruan's artwork is a big draw here and the time with Detective Black is a high point for me throughout as is the flashback to Toyo's past as it left me wanting to know a whole lot more about that. I'm really curious where this is all going and how big the picture is that it wants to focus on as there are a lot of things it's juggling right now. Read Full Review
