Toreador (Vampire: The Masquerade Novels)

Rating:
Summary: This vampire doesn't suck
Review: Toreador does a good job of introducing the world history of the Vampire game without just being an info-dump. The story is well-told, if not ultimately surprising. A late-night movie hostess is accosted by a man that claims to have a new role for her. After sharing her story with him, he tells her a tale about the origin and evolution of vampires.
Then we get to the bitey-fangy stuff.

The art alone is worth it. Vince Locke is always worth the investment.

Summary: Could be so much better...
Review: Where is the intrigue??? Vampire is a game of double dealing bastards, backstabbing worms, wonderfull plots...particularly Kindred of the clans Ventrue, Tremere, Lasombra, and...yes, Toreador.

This comic would be a great introduction, not a clan oriented story.

One more thing, in the world of darkness kindred can't drink anything but blood, it would require an unbeliveable skill "masquerading" that for the entire evening (and look she actually fills the glass).

If you are a fanatic white wolf supporter, like me, buy it...
