Fangs

by Sarah Andersen

A New York Times bestselling love story between a vampire and a werewolf by Sarah Andersen, the creator of the enormously popular Sarah's Scribbles comics.

Elsie the vampire is three hundred years old, but in all that time, she has never met her match. This all changes one night in a bar when she meets Jimmy, a charming werewolf with a wry sense of humor and a fondness for running wild during the full moon. Together they enjoy horror films and scary novels, shady strolls, fine dining (though never with garlic), and a genuine fondness for each other’s unusual habits, macabre lifestyles, and monstrous appetites. 

First featured as a webcomic series on Tapas, Fangs chronicles the humor, sweetness, and awkwardness of meeting someone perfectly suited to you but also vastly different. This deluxe hardcover edition of Fangs features an “engraved” red cloth cover, dyed black page trim, and 25 exclusive comics not previously seen online. Filled with Sarah Andersen’s beautiful gothic illustrations and relatable relationship humor, Fangs has all the makings of a cult classic.

It was a cute and fun episodic story. I kind of wish there was more a storyline. I've been told that it was originally a web comic, which fits the bill. I wouldn't mind reading something else from this author though.

The cutest love story between a vampire and a werewolf. Sarah always has funny and unique interactions. Always a delight!

Escenas mundanas de una relación de pareja, con la salvedad de que la pareja está formada por una vampira y un hombre lobo. Al estilo Sarah Andersen, hay una bondad latente, bienintencionada, reconfortante, en cada viñeta. Es un cómic que a la vez entretiene y hace sonreír. Muy recomendable, al igual que el resto de tebeos de la autora.

This is quite possibly one of the best things I have ever, ever read.

Holy epic adorable-ness! This graphic novel was everything. Both contemporary & paranormal, a vampire & a werewolf date & fall in love. I loved all of the pop culture vamp & wolf references... and this look into the everyday ordinary lives of two paranormal creatures was just absolute perfection. I was laughing out loud, non-stop grinning, & swooning my ass off as my heart physically hurt because this little love story was that adorably romantic. I appreciated the humor in this so much; I now want to check out everything Sarah Andersen has ever written!

THIS IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT.

I received a copy of Fangs in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Are you a fan of Sarah's Scribbles? If so, then you should be checking out Sarah Anderson's latest piece of work; Fangs. First released on Tapas, it's the story of a vampire and a werewolf falling for each other and dating.

It is every bit as chaotic and entertaining as you might expect. Their entire relationship is told through a series of short panels. If you read the story on Tapas, you received segments on a regular basis. But if you're reading this collection, you get them all at once (along with several bonus panels).

Fangs is adorable and endearing in the best of ways. Fans of Sarah Scribbles will surely enjoy every moment of it – as will any new fans. Especially those that are fond of vampire and werewolves acting cute and irreverent.

This is a collection full of sweet moments – and dark humor. It's a perfect combination if you ask me, but then I've always been a fan of things like this. There are a lot of tongue in cheek moments – teasing at the expense of pop culture and the like. It's funny and entertaining. In short, it is everything that I was hoping to see from Sarah Anderson.

The artwork is different from Anderson's usual style. The characters could not, in any form, be described as scribbles. Now they're more accurately drawn, with better proportions and more details throughout. The choice to change styles here was a smart one, making her series distinct. It also suits the material better.
