#1

Ho cominciato a leggere principalmente per Alexander, sono un suo grande fan e bisogna dirlo..le atmosfere che riesce a creare sono uniche. Se poi lo fa accostandosi all'Horror..beh..escono capolavori.
Dico questo perché la trama principale non si discosta poi di molto da serie simili legate all'argomento "Vampiri" (per ora almeno, siamo solo all'inizio), ma i pochi dettagli che ci vengono dati danno comunque quel "qualcosa in più" rispetto ad altre storie.
Ad esempio il fatto che il paziente zero, quello che ha portato l'infezione, sia stato

, ritornato da un viaggio ai Caraibi..Ma di sicuro lui stesso avrà contratto il virus da qualcuno..beh..si vedrà più avanti.

Il finale è un bel colpo di scena che metterà nuovamente di fronte al protagonista il difficile rapporto padre-figlio.

Dategli una possibilità, perché, tornando alle atmosfere inquietanti, riesce a suscitare altro oltre alla curiosità della lettura.

#3

Veniamo a conoscenza del background e di come si infettò John Adams, ma ancora non ci sono novità sull'origine di questo virus. Il piano di sua moglie riguardo all'allargare le loro truppe è stato decisamente..geniale..sì..
Curioso di sapere che posizione prenderà James ora, vista la sua confusione mentale.

Che serie!

#6

Con il #6 si chiude il primo arco narrativo e termina davvero bene.
La minaccia però non per niente sventata anzi, un nemico ancora più subdolo è salito al potere e le parole profetiche di Adams diventeranno presto realtà.

Molto bella la parte finale padre/figlio, sembra lanciare il pg verso un nuovo status quo

Inoltre qui i poteri "magici" sono a briglia sciolta e danno davvero un tocco in più alla storia!

Lui è bravissimo!

[Nightmist]

La serie non è affatto male anche a livello di scrittura , ho letto il primo tp e mi era piaciuto abbastanza, purtroppo seguo troppa roba e per il momento questa l'ho messa in stand by.

[HCPunk]

Io per fortuna in questi mesi ho serie in tp che chiudono/cambiano scrittori, così posso concentrarmi su altro che mi prende di più. Killadelphia + lo spinoff ad esempio.
