⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
30 Days of Night: Falling Sun #2 keeps the revival sharp, bloody, and fast on its feet. Rodney Barnes and Chris Shehan waste no time widening the scope—Barrow plunges back into darkness as the vampires return with vengeance on their minds, while Los Angeles heats up with its own brand of trouble. The dual‑city structure works surprisingly well: icy dread in Alaska, sun‑bleached tension in LA, both converging on the same theme—no one outruns the past.
Barrow’s realization that they’re back hits with the right amount of dread, and Vladimir’s quest to avenge Vicente gives the vampire threat real weight. Meanwhile, Jalen’s old gang organizing a hunt of their own adds a grounded, human danger that mirrors the supernatural one. Barnes balances both threads with confidence, letting each escalate without stepping on the other.
Chris Shehan’s artwork is a standout. The shadows feel alive, the violence hits hard without being gratuitous, and the contrast between Barrow’s bleak isolation and LA’s gritty sprawl gives the issue a cinematic rhythm. It’s atmospheric, stylish, and unmistakably 30 Days of Night.
A strong continuation of the revival—moody, tense, and hungry for more. If the first issue set the stage, this one sharpens the teeth.
Happy reading from The Void 🧛♂️❄️📚
