This was awful, yeah it follows the final books plot quite well but what's with the awful art style? Vampires look more like Slender Man then anything.
Very poor glad I didn't read entire Graphic Novel series

This just gets darker and darker. The jump from the fall, to present day is crazy. Much better than the tv show.

Mankind Has Fallen
The dread aftermath of the vampire attack has seen a two year long nuclear winter. Humans are bred like cattle and bled as a good source, but Professor Satrakian's disciples lead the countryside and seek to decipher the vampiric history book, the Occido Lumen, in search of a solution to the plague.I
In keeping with the tone of the text, the graphics are muted and drab, but the full horror is there in the shadows in what is still a dynamic and intriguing piece of work.

A group of humans fight against the vampires that control the Earth.
The illustrations and storyline were good (even as a standalone piece).
Overall rating 3.5

A beam of hope in the darkness. Is there a self-fulfilling prophecy?

The penultimate graphic novel in this series and it starts off 2 years into the future. Which was a nice little surprise for me! Really love the artwork in this series throughout! Excited to see where it’s going!

Amazing and I'm so annoyed that now I have to wait until December 2nd for the next one!! I have loved all the novels and the show and reading these has just been extra special, like getting Mr. Quinlin's back story that I don't remember in the novels, but maybe it's just been too long since I read them :/
Another fantastic graphic novel in this series and I'm SOOOOO impatient because I want to read the next one!

The Strain's graphic novels are excellent companions to the trilogy of novels by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. If you plan to read the books, hold off on the comics or you'll be solidly spoilered. The comics really flesh out the series, expanding on side/back stories.

Very disappointed, they omitted quite chunk of plot while altering some of the plot progression. The artwork was also average, making volume 5 unredeemable.
