Night Club created by Mark Millar at Netflix
Night Club II is a six-issue miniseries written and created by Mark Millar and drawn by Juanan Ramírez. A Dark Horse Comics publication and a Netflix production, Night Club II is a sequel to the 2023 miniseries, Night Club. Both series focus on a teen boy who is bitten by a vampire and decides to make the best of his new condition. Colorist Fabiana Mascolo and letterer Clem Robins complete Night Club II's creative team.
Night Club II focuses on 17-year-old Danny Garcia. After being turned into a vampire, he passed his new found powers unto his friends, DJ Sam Huxley and Amy Chen. Now, they're the superheroes: Starguard (Danny), Thundercloud (Sam), and Yellowbird (Amy). But jealousy has broken up this vampire-superhero trio and opened the door to a disaster of newer, more nihilistic and narcissistic vampires.
Night Club II #6 opens with the reconciliation of Danny, Sam, and Amy. But now, it's time for this trio to settle the war with Risso, Kendra, and their vampire gang. The problem is that the gang may be a wee bit larger than our heroes think it is.
In this shocking conclusion to the second volume, heroes are dead and villains are triumphant. One thing about vampire stories, however, is that even the coldest and most rotting corpses might not stay dead for long.
THE LOWDOWN: This is the second time that I have been on any kind of list that provides PDF copies of titles published by Dark Horse Comics. The latest received is Night Club II #6.
Mark Millar closes out Night Club II with a bang, and though it is full of blood and gore, Issue #6 closes out the series with a sly grin. This issue may be the most humor-infused yet, or perhaps, I'm interpreting a sense of humor that really isn't there. Still, Millar says goodbye-for-now to the series with another surprise... because that is the way it should be.
Artist Juanan Ramírez has built this narrative on capturing the reckless nature of young people with too much power, regardless of whether this power is natural or supernatural and criminal or evil. Ramirez's storytelling depicts the joy of victory with a wink and smile from start to finish. Night Club jumps off the page thanks to colorist Fabiana Mascolo funky and flashy colors. Clem Robins' lettering, as always, is a perfect accompaniment – a musical interlude of fury and funny.
Night Club II does not disappoint, dear readers. Be on the lookout for the trade collection.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Mark Millar and of vampire comic books will want to be bitten by Night Club II.
