The Lost Boys
In this follow-up to the 1987 cult classic film, horror masters Tim Seeley and Scott Godlewski wade into the bloody, badass world of California vampires for an all-new tale of thrills, chills, and good old-fashioned heart-staking action in THE LOST BOYS VOL. 1!
Welcome to scenic Santa Carla, California. Great beaches. Colorful characters. Killer nightlife. And, of course, all the damn vampires.
The Emerson brothers (Sam and Michael) and the Frog brothers (Edgar and Alan) learned that last part the hard way--these underage slayers took on the vampire master Max and his pack of punked-out minions, and drove a stake right through their plans to suck Santa Carla dry. After scraping the undead goo off their shoes, they figured everything was back to normal.
But now there are new vamps in town.
A coven of female undead called the Blood Belles has moved in, and they've targeted Sam, Michael, the Frog Brothers, and every other vampire hunter in Santa Carla for bloody vengeance.
It'll take every trick in the brothers' monster-killing book to stop these bloodsuckers from unleashing an entire army of the damned. And they'll need help from an unexpected source--a certain shirtless sax-playing savior known only as the Believer!

As soon as I saw this, I had to pick it up. I went straight to Amazon and bought it. Being a child of the 80s, The Lost Boys was one of my favorite movies. I couldn’t wait to read this.
The story starts out right after the end of the first movie with a little short recap and David had just been defeated along with Max and the rest of the clan. Sam is working at Fantasy World Comics and having a discussion with a customer.
All is good in Santa Carla, or is it?
The Frog brothers are still practicing their vampire hunting skills along with Grandpa Emerson. Now, there’s a whole new breed of female vampires called the Blood Belles on the loose and they’re looking to kill every vampire hunter in sight.
Can the Frog brothers stop the bloodsuckers before they take over Santa Carla for good?
All the main characters are present in this graphic novel including Sam, Michael, Lucy, Grandpa Emerson, The Frog Brothers, Star, Laddie and a few other surprise characters as well. I thought the graphics were pretty good--my only complaint was that they don’t look as real as the true movie characters like they do on the cover.
My favorite character is the awesome Tim Cappello! I’m sure all you fans remember this beefy sax player from the movie, right? He has a significant part in the story. I was pleased with his addition. You can watch the original music video for “I Still Believe” from The Lost Boys below to refresh your memory.

Overall, I’m glad I read it and even had a few laughs. It was nostalgic and I enjoyed revisiting all of my favorite characters from the original movie. The story kept me interested and the graphics were pleasing. This is a good sequel to the movie. It does contain some harsh language and it’s probably best for older teens.
I’ll rate this one 4****

This is the sequel to The Lost Boys that nobody asked for.
Because I kind of doubt that anyone excitedly asked Tim Seeley to please take a piss on their favorite childhood memory.
In truth, I almost DNF'd this about 1/3 of the way through but decided to plow on for reasons unknown.
Probably due to my undying love of the movie.
It's a Lost Boys graphic novel! How could something that sounds like such a good idea be so terrible?
Well, you could start with terrible artwork and finish with a terrible storyline.
Ta-da!
How about we kill off grandpa, make Star a traitor, come up with some half-cocked vampire Illuminati storyline, and make the sax player an oiled-up vampire hunter with some weird religious mania?
That sounds fabulous. Let's do that.
Bad. This was bad.
It was a free Hoopla Bonus Borrow and I still wish I could take it back.

Well, that was disappointing!
I was really looking forward to this when it was announced as I'm a big fan of the movie. The movie came out right when I was entering high school.
The art and coloring were terrible. Everyone looked the same and a bit jaundiced. Unless they were referred to by name I had no idea who was who in a panel. None of the characters had any likenesses like the characters in the movie. Star looked Asian. I kept mistaking her for one of the female vampires.
Seeley had to jump through a ridiculous amount of hoops to shape this into the convoluted mass coincidence of a story this was. I've seen SyFy original movies that make more sense than this cash grab.
Received an advanced copy from Vertigo and Netgalley.

The Lost Boys Vol. 1 picks up where the movie left off. The Frog brothers are celebrating their victory over David and his gang of vampires but their victory is short-lived. There are new vampires in town and their gang is called the Blood Belles. Will the Frog brothers be able to defeat this new gang in the "murder capital of the world," Santa Carla? You'll have to read this to find out!
I enjoyed the nostalgia I felt while reading this. Back in 1987 when the movie came out, it was all the rage. We got two Coreys-Feldman and Haim, not to mention the good looking Jason Patrick. For me though, it was great to see David again,(portrayed by the incredibly hot Kiefer Sutherland in the film), he was always my favorite. I think this volume stayed true to the feel of the original movie and the characters-I was happy about that.
What I didn't much like was the dialogue and the simplicity of the story line. I understand that this is for fun and nostalgia and all that, but there's no reason that the story can't be more geared to adults. Even though there was some language here, I feel like it was geared more to the person I was back in the 80's, rather than who I am now. Does that make any sense?
I can't complain too much though, because I did enjoy this comic quite a bit. The graphics were dynamic and true to the movie and I loved seeing all these old characters again-(man, I wanted to be Star, [Jamie Gertz]), back then. I had a lot of fun reading this and will continue with the series, if only just for the fun and nostalgia of it.

I seriously don't understand the overall low rating on this graphic novel.
Fans of The Lost Boys get to return to Santa Carla, California (*ahem*, murder capital of the world!) in the immediate aftermath of the showdown with David and his crew.
Everyone is back: Grandpa, Sam, Michael, Mom, The Frog Brothers, and even Star and Laddie.
I don't need to go into detail here, it's just a fun sequel that holds true to the humor and atmosphere of the film.
Also, remember that oiled-up saxophone player on the boardwalk in the movie? Well, (I'm about to start yelling in my excitement so brace yourself) HE IS IN THIS BOOK DOING MORE THAN SAX-ROCK LIKE IT'S 1985 AND HE HAS A NAME AND A MISSION AND IT IS EPIC.
Honestly, sax guy showing up here should automatically give this volume four stars.
This was just plain entertaining and the art work is great!

YEAH!!!!! NOW THAT'S HOW YOU DO A SEQUEL TO THE LOST BOYS!!!
Everyone knows in the nineties there were several attempts by Joel Schumacher to make a Lost Boys sequel, but it never worked out. I've read a couple of the scripts, they are pretty good, sad it never happened. Instead, twenty years later, we got those crappy straight to DVD sequels that I'm not even going to go into.
But this totally made up for it! Ever since I was a kid I'd wished they'd make a comic book out of The Lost Boys, and now we have one!!!
Okay, I'll try not to give away too much and I'll hide spoilers where needed. The story takes place in Santa Carla, 1987 several weeks after the events in the original film. A new gang of vamps is in town known as "the blood belles" (female vampires, like Joel Schumacher, envisioned for his sequel) along with That's right he's back! He . The Blood Belles including . Bummer. It's up to The Frog Brothers, Sam, Michael and Star to put a stake in their plans to reign terror on Santa Carla. Only they will discover that there is a bigger, deadlier threat sleeping beneath the town. They must seek out a mysterious saxophone playing vampire hunter known as "the believer" to fight it.
Yeah, remember this guy?
That's Tim Cappello in real life. He's Tina Turner's saxophone player among other things.
The story was not too campy, which was good.
Onto the art. Scott Godlewski did the lineart, his style is kind of a cross between Sean Murphy and Rafael Albuquerque. Now those guys are good...and he's good. However, I feel that a Lost Boys comic deserves a slightly more realistic style to it. And the colorist didn't get those damned eyes right. Ever notice the vampires' eyes in the film? there's something eerie and mesmerizing about the way those eyes looked. Those creepy yellow eyes...
But maybe I'm being too nit-picky, at least the story kicked ass! Tim Seeley knows how to write. And the ending is left open for more. I hope they do that!! I hope there are more Lost Boys comic books in the near future!!
I love this book! FIVE STARS!!!!

This is the follow up of the awesome movie!!! In this volume there is a coven of female vampires known as the Blood Belles who target Sam, Michael, the Frog brothers and every vampire hunter in Santa Carla for revenge. The Emerson brothers and The Frog brothers need to pull out all the stops to fight against these vampires and do so with the help from one known as the Believer.
.
This was a fun read and I love that its the follow up from the movie. It felt very nostalgic, I liked how the story pans out and we get to meet our favourites once again.

Surprisingly Ok sequel to the movie..
July 29, 2017
If you've seen the movie and ever wondered what happened in Santa Clara after Max and rest of the blood suckers goo has been washed away, here is your chance. Michael and Sam are back along with Star, Laddie and of course the Frog brothers and it seems there is a new female coven of vamps that has moved to town and they call themselves the Blood Belles. So who will win this battle of the beaches?
This is a very entertaining graphic novel especially for me since I was a big fan of the Lost Boys as a movie when I was kid (UGH dating myself there), I could still hear the sound track playing in the background as I read this graphic novel. But it was a blast from the past and I really liked it. The illustrations were awesome, as was the story line!!! It was really so cool, and I hope to actually be able to own these some day (public librarians do not actually make enough to own every book they want and live), but these actually rank really high on my list, sorry Ironman.

Well I have no idea where my review went but okay. Here round 2 I guess.
The art: inside sucks, the cover and what few comic pages that spilt up each issue is fine but not enough if you look at it too long.
The plot: okay theres like 3 or 4 different plots and they all start and stop at the drop of the hat and its way too much for a short ass story as it is. Like why? Why?! Its bad. Oop woke up a hundred super vampires to destroy the worl- oh they got crushed. Oop old lady is a VAMP?! Wow what a twist! Eh no. No. Its dumb.
The one great thing about it? The sax playing shirtless guy from the movie? Right? He's a vampire hunter (or wants to be but a group of old ass ppl won't let him join. Like WHY? WOULDN'T YOU WANT STRONG YOUNG PPL TO FIGHT???) Him. this dude, that guy is the best part. Love him. 10/10 best addition 👌
Is it handled disappointingly? Soooo much..
Just.. enjoy the movie. This is skippable.
Sax guy rules.

This was a nostaligia pick for me b/c I loved the original Lost Boys movie and I love Tim Seeley's Revival (not withstanding volume 8) but this was just ok for. It's touted as the proper sequel and I was hoping that would be the case b/c that sequel movie was terrible. But this is rushed and nonsensical and I did not like the artwork at all.
October 22, 2017
Para nostálgicos. Muy entretenido.
June 3, 2020
So, I just picked this up at the library because I'm a Lost Boys fan. I thought it was...okay. I can't talk about much without spoilers, so I'll just say this: if you like the movie this comic isn't a waste of time. That said, the story itself was fine even though some bits of it were...not what I expected (and not in the good way). The art was....not my favorite, but doable.
January 12, 2018
In a lot of ways, this whole series feels like it went a long way to make one prolonged joke involving a minor character from the movie. We pick up the story a few months after the movie, to learn that there's another clutch of Vampires nearby, and that Star was actually a deep cover op for them. so Michael and Sam and the Frog Brothers get pulled into another vampire battle, this time with higher stakes. But everyone does just about the exact same things they did in the movie, with little to no growth from anyone. One of the characters killed in the movie comes back via some hand-wavium that makes little to no sense, and ultimately doesn't do a whole lot to justify the effort. The villain behind it all is chosen specifically for shock value, and doesn't really manage any. The art is dark and moody, but occasionally lacking in detail. It was dreary to read through, and really doesn't justify its existence in any way. Unless you are utterly devoted to the movie, I don't think it's worth the effort.
Still better than the movie sequel, though...

I love The Lost Boys movie. I watched it in the theatre when it first came out and rewatched on video sometime in my 20's. That was a long time ago though, so I don't really remember the plot or characters but rather the actors who were in it. This new volume purports to take place following the movie. There are a few of the old characters present and some new ones. First, the plot takes care of some threads thought finished at the end of the movie but evidently weren't. Then the plot grows, having the younger boys take over being the vampyre hunters and a plot to reawaken the mothers of all vampires so as to take over the world. The characters played by the two Coreys and Keifer are very well drawn, showing enough likeness to recognise them but with a bit of artistic licence also taken. A fun, pageturning read for this fan.

Love that the Sax player ended up being a vampire hunter and was all holy oiled up for battle.
February 11, 2020
I refrained from buying this for a long time because of the art work, specifically the character design. Michael, Sam, Lucy, Star, and the Frog Brothers look nothing like they did in the movie and I was attached to those images along with the actors’ faces attached to them. (Perhaps there were copyright issues involved which stopped the artist from using those likenesses?) The most recognizable character was David, who’s back. Otherwise it’s a new crop of vampires, fleshing out the back story of Star, who becomes a lot more interesting in these pages. Readers find out what happened to Sam, Michael, Lucy, Star, Grandpa Emerson, Laddie, and the Frog Brothers after the events of the movie, meet a dangerous gang of female vampires whom Star has an intimate connection to, see a little of what happened to David, and delve into the background of the mysterious sax player on the boardwalk who had a cameo appearance on the beach, The Believer. Those who loved the movie, The Lost Boys and wanted more with a slashy twist, to explore the unique ambience of Santa Carlo and its denizens should definitely pick up this book.

Lost Boys shouldn't be this good. Ninety nine times out of one hundred, Lost Boys would be a lazy, nostalgic retread probably published by IDW. What sets this graphic novel apart is that writer Tim Seeley rewards the readers passion for the source material while also moving the story forward and expanding the world of the original film beyond Santa Clara, murder capital of the world. Seeley knows that his only advantage over the dreadful film sequels is that he can keep Jason Patric and the Corey's young and set right after the 1987 movie. What follows is a great, impossible to film sequel that expands on the original film and consistently rewards fans of the original without ever feeling like fan service including an incredible expanded role for an unforgettable character from the original film that made my heart sing.

There's the shape of a halfway decent Lost Boys sequel here, but the execution means the whole thing is mostly dreadful, with the odd inspired bit of business leavening the proceedings. But really, this is barely fanfic.

Sequel to the movie. Not bad.
March 17, 2018
The film is one of my all time favourites from my childhood, so I was really looking forward to this as the film sequels were not great. I like to think I'm easily entertained, but tbh I was disappointed. the story was so convoluted and forced. It stopped me from getting immersed in the story. The artwork, was ok. however a lot of the characters looked the same, Star looked just like several vamps that were in there which could get confusing.
I can see what they tried to do, but there was a lot of over explaining at the start, I assume just incase the person reading hadn't seen the film. Overall it was ok, but nothing great.

An action-packed horror comic, The Lost Boys picks up were the classic Joel Schumacher film left off. Originally publishes as the 6-issues miniseries “The Lost Girl,” the story follows Michael and Sam Emerson who, with the help of the Frog brothers, go looking for a new vampire clan that killed their grandfather and is attempting to find a lost vampire city. The writing isn’t too bad and stays pretty true to the characters. Still, the plot’s a little convoluted and there’s some reconning of Star (making her a sleeper agent of this new vampire clan) that doesn’t really work. Also, the artwork is weak, with a lot of generic character designs, making it hard to tell who’s who at times. However, the book’s fast-paced and takes some interesting twists and turns. And there are some exciting vampire fights and chases. The Lost Boys is an entertaining and fun graphic novel, but it doesn’t quite live up to the film (well, at least not the first one).
January 2, 2021
If you've watched The Lost Boys for the hundredth time and want more, this is a great choice for a fun story that doesn't take itself too seriously. I know there are movie sequels, but since this one is a direct continuation with all of the surviving characters from the first, we get more time with all of the classic characters fans of The Lost Boys love.

The Lost Boys Vol 1 starts off a few weeks after the ending of the 1987 cult classic movie. I’m disappointed at how it ended abruptly. I felt like the storyline could have been more drawn out to several other volumes. My thoughts were oh it’s Vol 1 that means there’s a vol 2 or 3, but no it’s not.
