I love night breedI love the movie and reading the comics are fun. Vol. 1 was great. I am hoping that Vol. 2 is just as good.
Intriguing, dark, well written story.Can not wait for more!
If you’re familiar with CABAL by Clive Barker and the subsequent early 90s movie Nightbreed based on that novella then you’ll know what I’m talking about here. If you’re not then stop, go read the story and/or watch the movie (preferably both) and then come back because you’re missing out.Releasing at about the same time as the re-release of the movie, NIGHTBREED VOLUME 1 introduces us to new canon in the Nightbreed world. It acts as a prequel back to varying years on the timeline, from 1857 to
Something I’ve been looking forI’d actually been looking for a good story about a place for monsters. Glad someone mentioned this jewel and read it in one sitting. Can’t wait to go on to 2
Alright, full disclsure, I didn't know that Nightbreed was initially a movie. That being said, this book makes little to no sense on it's own. It's just a jumbled history of some weird people smooshed together with a spooky narrator at the front. Having read the synopsis of the movie and the second book in this series, this book makes a little more sense but that doesn't make it good at all. There's just no cohesion here at all.
I loved the film as a kid and had high hopes for the graphic novel... IT IS AWESOME. The story of course is creepy, sad, and engrossing with accompanying art that will send a chill down your spine. I love the in depth back stories we get of the monster’s origins. Wicked cool and a great read.
A nice collection of "secret origin" tales of characters from Clive Barker's Cabal/Nightbreed.Peloquin and Shuna's tales were good ones, just not liked very much the changes in Father Ashbury's background.Not bad, just as not as good as the novella and the movie which inspired it
Love the back stories!
I loved the art and the coloring. The story was really interesting and I want more. When can I have more please.
This presents some origin tales of the various Nightbreed characters, and I think this ties into the Nightbreed director's cut film which I'd like to see but haven't watched yet. The first volume is Peloquin and Shuna, and it is very interesting to see how far back their stories go (hundred of years in some cases) and some of the happenings that defined the characters. Art fits the stories very well.I think there's more potential to examine these characters in depth, but for now we only have 3 v...
True to its predecessor.Wonderful, everything I hoped for and more for the back stories of the citizens of Midian! I cannot wait to read the second volume!!
If you watched the movie, Nightbreed and wanted more, this book is for you. It's an expansion of the mythology established in Nightbreed and is great fan service for anyone who really enjoyed that world and wanted to spend more time in it. Did this "need" to exist? Probably not, but I'm absolutely thrilled that it does!
Pretty good if you are a fanI don't think a reader who wasn't familiar with the film or the original book would get much out of this but, as a fan of both I found it to be interesting
This was really cool! I've never heard of Nightbreed, but apperently it was a movie that flopped a while ago. After reading this, I really want to go watch it.If you like stuff like Hellraiser, then I think you'll like this, obviously, but I think it also has a more.... extreme-Hellboy quality to it.
Really enjoyed the concept of a "monster" sanctuary sub-city. Enjoyed the stories very much, and guess I'll have to read volume two to see what comes of the woman with the babies that hatched from eggs...
NIGHTBREED was a terrible 90's movie based on an outstanding Clive Barker novella titled CABAL. (Apparently, a new "director's cut" of NIGHTBREED was recently released, so hopefully the film is now much improved.)The NIGHTBREED comic is less based on the original story than it is on the movie, which has achieved a sort of cult status among a certain group of people. (I can only speculate on who those people might be, since I've never met ANYONE who enjoyed NIGHTBREED.) Vol. 1, which is comprised...
It's no secret, Clive Barker's horrific visions have always awed me. I'm yet to see his work explored in other mediums (photography, art & film) I love these comic book adaptations of his work. I'm guessing the reason they work so well is cos the team making the adaptations don't stray so far from the source material (I hope!) The Books of Blood adaptations are pretty cool. Now comes Nightbreed. I picked this up with no whatsoever about the original film. Anything Clive Barker works for me. And
Very disappointing compared to former booksI was excited to see the Night Breed stories in graphic novel form as I have read the original book “Cabal”, seen the movie “Night Breed” (loved it) and own one of the other books detailing the members of Miridian and their backstory.Unlike the above the stories and charaterization of this novel is lackluster. I found myself unsympathetic toward any of the characters, the violence was repetitive merely swapping charcters, and the way they chopped up the...
As stories from Midian go, these are fairly solid. I can't say that I was blown away by any particular aspect of the craft...writing, art, color...all fine.If you like the mythology presented in novella or film then it could be worth your time.
this is more arrogant, simplistic, and self-pitying than the token Christianity it purports to opposethe cover art gallery is alright
