Take Note:
Romance and supernatural novelist Feehan has turned a short story taken from her Dark Series, the story of the Carpathians, an ancient and secret race of shapeshifting vampires facing extinction, into a manga. Dark Hunger takes the #11 slot and it’s the story of a beautiful animal activist who also releases a handsome Carpathian’s animal appetites.
At #12, superstar zombie writer Robert Kirkman offers The Calm Before, the latest installment of the bestselling Walking Dead series, mapping the degradation of government, law and social relations in a world overrun by hordes of undead flesheaters.
