Devmalya Pramanik's work in the opening story has a darkly detailed style that strongly echoes the style of artist Timothy Bradstreet, who was featured quite extensively in rulebooks and sourcebooks for the original White Wolf game back in the 1990s. Read Full Review

With two memorable leads and a focus on showing readers what it's like in the universe instead of exhaustively explaining its rules, Vampire: the Masquerade #1 is an enjoyable read even if you're not familiar with the RPG. The dual nature of immortality shows up a lot in the comic, but Tim Seeley, Tini Howard, Blake Howard, Devmalya Pramanik, Nathan Gooden, and basically Gothic set-dresser Addison Duke dive into other implications of being a vampire in this world like navigating bureaucracies and complicated interpersonal relationship. Hey, it sounds like the real world, but with hotter outfits, blood, and fangs. Read Full Review

Vampire: The Masquerade is a fascinating introduction to the world. It's provides a great jumping off point into the universe, as it stages various conflicts while maintaining a crisp urban fantasy veneer. Yet, what truly sets it apart for me is that the character sheets at the end also make the comic a great supplement for any game master and fan who wants more tools to work with. That's kind of the dream for a project like this. Read Full Review
Two stories take very different approaches to what life is as a vampire in the world of The Masquerade. Read Full Review
This is a solid, consistent opening issue. Nothing ground-breaking but a worthwhile read for fans of modern Vampire tales. Both stories have something different to offer but are comfortably set within the same world. Read Full Review
There's potential for both of these stories to grow into something worthwhile for fans of the source material. This issue isn't there yet. Read Full Review
The sister with Alzheimers is the most interesting aspect, though not enough to make Cecily a likable character. The factions are interesting; I needs a little bit more info on them to get invested.
