By Zack Quaintance — The Vain #1 is first and foremost a relentlessly stylish comic, drawing on a timeless sense of glamour that lends an over-arching sophistication to this story about vampires, heists, and going to war. Indeed, there is a whiff of the television show Mad Men to this comic, not in the subject matter but in the approach it takes to the styles and values of the times: the characters in this book are not old-fashioned (not even the immortal ones) and neither is there culture. No, they dress as they do and act in a certain way because they are, in fact, quite vain (hey, that’s the title!).
