A Miniseries Eight Years in the Making

Graveyard Shift is a 4-issue miniseries from Image Comics that made its debut on December 24, 2014. Graveyard Shift was a side project for writer Jay Faerber and artist Fran Bueno that has been in the works since 2006, taking it almost eight years to finish.

Graveyard Shift is a crime/romance/horror story that focuses around a homicide detective named Liam and his girlfriend Hope. The couple ends up getting involved with a gang of Vampires while Liam and his crime unit are chasing one of them down only to realize that they aren’t pursuing a human at all but a Vampire, which then catches the attention of the rest of the Vampires. After a series of unfortunate events that happen on the same night, Liam is left to uncover the culprit behind the death of his girlfriend, Hope.

The first issue starts off fast and I personally really like the artwork by Fran Bueno. If you're looking for something fresh, with fleshed out characters or are a fan of the Vampire lore, I suggest checking this series out. Issue #1 is in stores now and issue #2 will be coming out later in January.
