I picked this comic up on the strength of Coker's artwork, and on that front, this book definitely satisfied. Story wise, I found that things got off to a confusing start, but once the exposition of the back half of the book was out of the way, I was intrigued.
Some American named John Sargent has brought his girlfriend Mei, who happens to be a vampire, to Hong Kong on a quest to find and kill the vampire that turned her, thereby making it possible to cure her. The book opens in some temple, with a confrontation between Sargent and a group of what I suppose are vampires, although nothing is too clear. It's not until he brings her to Hong Kong, and meets with a young boy who is also a mystical healer that things are clarified, and become more interesting.
I think this comic has interested me enough to come back for the second issue, which means it is a success. Coker's art is a huge part of that success.
