PT Este volume mantém-se em linha com os anteriores, mas nota-se aqui uma aceleração no ritmo da narrativa. Isso costuma acontecer quando a série se aproxima do fim e os autores sentem a necessidade de começar a encerrar os vários arcos.
Por esse motivo, senti que o enredo começou a perder alguma da sua solidez.
Apesar de não me ter impressionado tanto como os volumes anteriores, continua a ser uma leitura sólida — embora fique a sensação de que a série merecia um desfecho mais cuidado.

EN This volume is in line with the previous ones, but there's a noticeable acceleration in the narrative pace. That usually happens when a series is nearing its end and the authors feel the need to start wrapping up the various arcs.
Because of that, I felt the plot started to lose some of its solidity.
Even though it didn't impress me as much as the earlier volumes, it's still a solid read — although there's a lingering sense that the series deserved a more carefully crafted conclusion.

I feel like I should write a review, and yet the only thing that I can think of is that crazy threesome. If a brother and sister have sex at the same time, with the same person, yet don't touch each other, is it still a threesome?
If that thought disturbs you, don't read this comic.

Tercer volumen de la saga de vampiros, en el que conocemos más detalles de la vida de la humana protagonista, Lenore, la policía que investiga los asesinatos; y como se llega a implicar con los hermanos vampiros que buscan venganza.

I've read 3 of the 4 books so far and the narrative is falling apart. It is somehow getting too big and too personal at the same time because neither thread makes much sense at this point. The artwork is engaging and the premise is interesting, but book four will have to work hard to save this story.

Me causa conflictos esta tercera parte, hay muy buenas revelaciones y mas desarrollo, pero no hay tiempo para absorber todo, pocas páginas para todo lo que se quiere contar, el dibujo excelente como siempre

On par with volume 2. Takes the story arc to its apotheosis.

La storia si complica, con un paio di colpi di scena, ma che comunque seguono cliché ben noti. Nonostante questo, la storia risulta comunque più che gradevole, anche se non innovativa al massimo. I disegni sono sempre il vero punto di forza del racconto.

Spisek "torbieli za prawym uchem" sięga znacznie dalej niż do tej pory się wydawało.
Pojawiają się nowi bohaterowie, jak "ksiądz" poszukujący Lenore, a zagadka dlaczego w mieście jest tak mało dzieci zostaje wyjaśniona. Ozdoba albumu są dwie walki: otwierające go starcie z oddziałem specjalnym oraz finałowa walka na miecze w świetle księżyca, obie znakomicie zrealizowane przez Mariniego.
Scenariusz: ****

Loved this comic. It tells the story about the brother and the intensions the people with the cystes have for other people. They are voting over a new law about this.
The confrontation between the brother, the sister and the lonely warrior is very intresting.
Look forward to read the next one.

‘Your kingdom is doomed.’
The twins continue killing members of the vampire order and leaving their message. Tonight it’s the senator who was having dinner with Do Santo when Lenore confronted him.
She is missing. A child gives a priest a rosary. It’s Costanza Spiaggi’s and she gave it to Lenore in book 1. He follows the child and finds a cop beating one. He shoots him. [guess he’s not a real priest then, eh?] The children - as noted by a couple of characters - are hiding under the city. They are the smart ones who run away when their parents go ‘weird’ and start making their elder siblings go weird, too. The children are smart enough to hold the priest down and check; he has no cyst. They tell him where Lenore is.
Meanwhile the council - still sure they run things - vote on the future of humans. They decide to keep them as zoo exhibits and snacks. [seems a little odd; they need them to expand their own numbers. It seems to me that only the ‘wild’ vampires like the Molinas can birth vampires. The cyst bearers have to turn them. Things to think about…]
The priest shows up at Spiaggi’s mother’s flat and together he and Spiaggi go to rescue Lenore.
But there is something wrong; she’s gaining strength and throws up every morning *eyes narrow*. When she kisses him, Spiaggi says she’s ice cold.
She starts to track the twins. When she finds them, she tells Drago she’s come to kill them. He knows better, and kisses her.
*fans self* it’s threesome time!
But someone else is tracking Lenore and it’s Aznar. He’s armed with the sword of the Molinas that Do Santo gave him. But it’s a poisoned gift; it awakes the beast within him. He’s changing, too.
