That’s the premise of Life Sucks, the graphic novel from Jessica Abel, Gabe Soria and Warren Pleece. That tug from the past that’s keeping the kids in line? Vampirism. As presented in Life Sucks, vampires have not remained, stuck in some Transylvanian time warp infested with candelabras for their lighting while they seduce women - rather, they sit in basements under fluorescent lighting, grumbling and playing poker like any other person passing their time. Or they hold jobs in convenience stores that they hate - and when they feel like they have no future, they’re stricken by the realization that future means an eternity.
