The Strain: The Fall #8 Review

Vampires are taking over humanity but what happens when your own mother is the one controlling them? Read on.

Official Description:

Trapped in a tunnel below the Hudson River, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather’s son Zack and Dr. Nora Martinez fight for their lives against an onslaught of vampires commanded by Zack’s mother! Meanwhile, though the Master’s evil plan has almost sealed humanity’s fate, his oldest enemy, Abraham Setrakian, may have discovered the key to victory.

Before I got to this review, I have to say that I am so excited about the show coming to television based on

this series; I think that this is going to be quite amazing. Anyways, I do believe that this issue is one that super
exciting. I mean it is honestly very intriguing and nerve wracking, almost on par with the Red Wedding on Game of Thrones. First off, there seems to be no chance of break coming through for these people because it is just a shit show with things going on. You have Zack and Dr. Nora who are just constantly being targeted by the vampires that are taking over the world and to make things worse it’s is by Zack’s mother. The emotions that are seen through this are just intense and fantastic. Now, the one thing that might be the savior is Abraham, who for the longest time was one of the greatest enemies and that is an interesting dynamic.

The writing is something that is very highlighted in this issue. I mean honestly, I couldn’t wait to turn the page to find out what was going to happen and that is exactly what I want in a comic book.  It is just a page turner and it has everything that is needed for a good story.

The art high lights the intensity of this issue by making the most out of each page art wise. It works very well.

Overall, I give it a five out of five.

5/5
