Books like Cirque Du Freak: Vampire Mountain, Vol. 4

I realize that Darren ages at 1/5 of the rate of a normal person, but I still would have liked to see him look a bit older... I guess it helps the contrast between him and Evra, but I just feel like the reader misses out on something by having him so young. This is the first book of the Vampire Mountain arc. I think it suffers a bit by trying to shove a whole novel (even a short juvenile level one) into a single graphic novel. Also, at this point, there are several characters introduced all at once and if one of them hadn't been a girl I would have had real difficulty keeping them straight. This is one reason I'm glad for the art: I can actually see the different characters rather than just trying to picture them separately in my brain. I did absolutely love the wolves. The fact that wolves are so connected with vampires is such a nice change from the usual trope of them being mortal enemies. That and the wolf pup was absolutely adorable. There was some violence: some one dies and a giant bear is killed, but it isn't as graphic as the last one. There might have been a couple of curses, but I don't really think so. There is no sex although it is either in this book or the next that vampire mates are explained.
