So,
Anyone reading this comic by Tim Seeley? Two issues are out and it's apparently just a four issue series but I'm hoping they'll make this a series because this is a very solid bit of V:TM storytelling and among the best things we've gotten for showing the game world off since Bloodlines.
Issue 1#
Issue 2#
The setting is the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul that have the inverse problem as Berlin used to with the two cities having one Prince despite the fact its Kindred community is divided into two places. Prince Samantha's primary enforcer is a Brujah named Cecily Baine and she is an 80s style punk and former Anarch who has sold out like Damien.
Cecily is, in simple terms, pretty goddamn evil. That doesn't make her an uninteresting character, though, and it's clear that she thinks she's become "smart" by giving up her Humanity and being a cynical sadist. We also get some humanizing moments like the fact her kid sister is suffering from Alhezimers and that she adopts a fledgling she finds--despite the fact said kid may actually be a Baali (my guess).
What's cool about this book is that it's not just Camarilla propaganda and while the first half of the book is about Cecily's adventures, the second half deals with a Thin Blooded Anarch named Colleen Pendergrass (the most newb V:TM player character name of all time, save maybe "Grimdark Shado"). She's a Daywalker and helps her pack of ingrates and losers forage for food on the outskirts.
I'm really enjoying this series and Tim Seeley is smart enough to insert lots of roleplaying game information on the two cities in the back of the book. It gives us write-ups for Cecily and Colleen in the format of CBN's new character sheets as well as a rough breakdown of the city's political situation.
