PRMO: From the dark mind of legendary horror writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) comes a story set in the aftermath of our world's collapse. Records show the Earth once known was consumed by religious wars, spurred by the suppression of free thought and where creative expression is now viewed as the rot and infestation of the mind. This chilling vision of the future unveils a world where the police now patrol for crimes of the imagination, or Mind Crimes as their called. This beliefs, along with any tales of false heroes, idols or gods, are illegal. Special detective Philip Khrome doesn't enforce Imagination, instead he works in homicide; thats where the action is, and he has seen it all before. But criminals evolve and the world is forever changing. When a killing spree hits his department, Khrome finds himself face-to-face with a perpetrator who has merged reality with superstition, something is not what it seems. This enemy of folklore will require old-fashioned detective techniques to bring to justice, but the only problem is it will take one's imagination to find the source of this new evil.

ENGLISH(wiki): "30 Days of Night was a three-issue miniseries that jump-started the careers of writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith. Vampires flock to Barrow, Alaska, where the sun sets for about 30 days, allowing them to feed without the burden of sleep to avoid lethal sunlight. When the vampire elder Vicente learns of this plan, he travels to Barrow to end the feeding, in order to preserve the secrecy of vampires. Because of the cold, the vampires' senses are weakened and a few of the town's residents are able to hide. One such resident is Sheriff Eben Oleson, who saves the town by injecting vampire blood into his veins. He uses his enhanced strength to fight Vicente, saving the lives of the few remaining townspeople, including his wife Stella. Suffering the same weakness as all vampires, Eben allows himself to die and turns to ash when the sun rises."

SERBIAN(review):U pitanju je istinski biser devete umetnosti, dokaz da je ista još uvek jaka, da se i dalje pojavljuju fenomenalni mladi autori! Priča kao takva možda i nije izuzetna, vanvremenska, ali posmatrana u granicama "undead žanra" deluje sasvim dobro i originalno. No, glavni adut ove mini serije, koja je sad već prevazišla i najšire granice kulta i postigla bezmalo planetarnu popularnost, jeste vizuelni identitet. U vreme kada svaki strip izgleda prelepo, nabudženo, moderno i cool, koliko i istovetno i šablonski (kao da svi koriste iste fotošop efekte) "30 Days of Night" stoji ponosno - drugačiji. Mračan, nesavršen, uznemirujuć. Ukoliko od stripa pre svega tražite jak vizuelni identitet ("Sin City") ovo je obavezan komad za vas!
