Traditional children's stories aren't for the faint of heart and Pinocchio is a perfect example. In this reworking of the original, the not-quite-real-boy finds a use both functional and funny for his ever-growing nose, as he seeks to protect his town and revenge his father's death. The series continues with even more storybook characters entering the fray. Aimed at fanboys, of course, the author and illustrator kept this reader chuckling.

This is some Good Stuff. I dig the artwork in it, and the story has enough action in it to keep the fans interesting, but adds back story and comical antidotes to where is does not feel like some cooky Van Dam movie. If you like great goofy B reading/movies with some interesting back plot this is for you.
Take Buffy, minus the angst and the smugness, add some more wood, and you get "Pinocchio Vampire Slayer".

Like some of the commenters here, I had little idea of what this book would be about, other than my own preconceived notions based on the title alone (I'll admit, it had me rolling my eyes- I was ready for it to SUCK). But it was cheap and looked like it had good artwork, so I thought, what the heck and picked it up.

True, the story is simple, but that means the narrative never loses steam. There is actually a story here, despite what the title may simply suggest. It's not just panel after panel of action (that would be ironically boring). There are interesting characters (or takes on characters) and the hint of larger and more nefarious machinations, as well as slaying. Another highlight for me in the story is the use of humor peppered all throughout. If you like the silliness and darkness of say, Monty Python, you'll "get" and appreciate the laughs in this volume (thankfully, no real absurdist humor to make you scratch your brain).

Yes, the illustration is not like what you'd get out from your typical DC or Marvel release, but it's still quite good, and much like the simple narrative, gets the point across without getting too into itself. Don't let the deceptive simplicity of the artwork and narrative stop you from going through the illustrations again, as there is quite a lot of detail in them!

If you're into mainstream comics, you probably won't be impressed with this title, and if you're into "indie" comics, then this comic is a must buy. But don't let that factor alone affect your purchasing decision.

This is a dark, briskly paced and at times very funny fairy tale, which takes a well-trodden tale and runs with it, and is at least great fun if nothing else. And for the price, it's worth a shot!
This comic book is the first in a series which brings together the Pinocchio story with a quest to rid the world of vampires. It is intended to be humorous and mainly dwells on the main character, Pinocchio, the only character which is fully developed, although the Blue Fairy, Geppetto, Cherry and Carlotta all get a bit of a look-in

I am not a great fan of black-and-white line drawings in comics so the style was not really right for me. The plot was good without being totally original I was not surprised about plot developments but it was still relatively engaging.

Enjoyable enough but not really my bag.
There wasn't much that was surprising here. Graphics are good but the story left me cold.
Pinocchio Vampire Slayer should be amazing on all levels with such a brilliant premise. And the first 2/3 of the book are pretty good. But the ending is so cliche that I don't think it belongs in the story.

Let me back up. The authors preface their tale with a quick recap of the original Pinocchio story from Italy (not the Disney version) They make a big to-do about how this story is an expansion of the original work and that it is so important and then 2 pages later throw that all out the window by using lots of modern language. IMO Pinocchio doesn't say "Cool".

They also try to employ a twist that is revealed before the end but if you have ever read... any stories with twists, you should probably figure it out on or about page 4 of the book. My problem with a "twist" like this is that it is SO cliche that it seems cheap. It's the kind of cliche that every middle-schooler tires to use when they want to be edgy in Creative Writing class. Color me unimpressed.

My other problem with the end is that it happens pretty darn fast. Was there a publishing deadline they weren't going to meet? Did the editor cut a ton of stuff and give them this ending in place? I can't believe that their writing style changed so abruptly in so few panels.

So while the illustrations are great and the concept is top notch, the whole package falls short for me. If they serialize it and I get some sequels in the next year, maybe I can forgive this story's shortcomings.
Pinocchio Vampire hunter is a must buy if you are a fan of the following

1. A good story that at times is dark but also at time is very humorous.

2. Have a love for the original Pinocchio tale .

3 Love good pulp fiction.
It was just what my son was looking for, also shipped on time!
Thank you
