Just in time for Valentines Day DC gives the scoop on themed stories for their books

From Pamela Mullin at DC's Blog,

You may think I,VAMPIRE is a horror story about blood thirsty vampires, but writer Joshua Hale Fialkov would argue that at it's heart, the series is a love story.

"All great stories are love stories," says Fialkov. "Sometimes they're about two people in love, or two people falling out of love, or a man in love with vengeance, or, a man in love with Truth, Justice, and the American Way. All of the characters we love are motivated almost entirely by love."

"So," Fialkov continues, "it only made sense to write a book not just about a man and a woman in love, but, about them both being in love with abstract concepts that put them at odds with each other.

Fialkov explains, "Mary loves freedom, Andrew loves humanity... Up until now, their love for one another was enough to keep that imbalance in check, but, not anymore."

Read more about Mary, the Queen of Blood and Andrew Bennett in I,VAMPIRE issue #6 next Wednesday.

I suppose it is a bit of a love story, but I'm really just looking for a good vampire story. Haven't had one of those in awhile! I mean, okay, there is no way that I, Vampire will ever be as bad as Twilight, but the fear remains, and yet I keep buying it.

5 issues in and I cant tell whats going on? Some kinda war in Gotham? Horrible art makes it hard to tell the characters apart.

I, Vampire has been a really pleasant surprise package for me. The Jae Leeish art is great, and the characters are all interesting enough to carry the very slowly moving plot.
