I find it strange that Coker and Freedman didn't put any time in this second issue into helping develop the character of John Sargant, instead spending the whole comic having him continue on his quest to rescue his girlfriend from her vampirism by hunting down the vampire that 'made' her.
His mission takes him to a Hong Kong casino and nightclub run by a vampire working for Shang-Ji, Sargant's target. The action sequences are very cool and well-orchestrated. Coker has a real feel for Hong Kong, going so far as to include much of the dialogue in Chinese characters, without providing translation (although it's not too hard to imagine what characters in these situations would be saying).
Undying Love is another one of those Image mini-series that are released to little marketing, only to grab some attention with their overall quality. It's really pretty good.
