Great artwork, definitely graphic enough...
I was really impressed by the quality of the artwork in this comic. The story line is a bit thin with sex thrown in at every chance, but, to be honest it was pretty hot and sexy, which is why i gave it 4 stars. Wish it could've been a bit longer, but i'll definitely buy the next one.

Truly fun erotica with cheesy translations but an interesting storyline
This somewhat oddly-titled series is an import from NBM's Eurotica imprint, created by Dutch author/artist Frank Mensink and then translated into English. I tell you this at the beginning so that you won't be disappointed by the rather strange dialogue, which veers back and forth between spot-on, almost childishly silly, and downright bizarre. If you've ever read HEAVY METAL magazine, chances are that you've already been exposed to this phenomenon. For whatever reason, the distributors of foreign comics will spend boatloads on top artistic talent, and then apparently hire the cheapest translators they can find.
This is a shame, because KRISTINA is that rarest of creatures, an erotic comic with a fun and engaging storyline. The protagonist was slain in the Middle Ages by an angry mob, but apparently they weren't very thorough about it; some fresh blood in her unmarked grave restores her to unlife in the modern day. What makes this interesting is that Kristina seems committed to turning over a new leaf: after preying on the innocent in her first unlife, she decides this time around to feed only on criminals, the human flotsam whose deaths will be unnoticed (or at least unlamented). She quickly takes a couple of human thralls to help protect her during the day, and it's obvious that she truly cares for them.
Kristina's actions bring her into conflict with the human protagonists, a pair of very horny police investigators named Mike and Iris who are trying to find out why street thugs keep showing up exsanguinated. Mike has some kind of mystic connection to Kristina, which causes the vamp to become obsessed with claiming him as her eternal soulmate -- something that Iris obviously objects to. For all that she is trying to be a better person (so to speak), Kristina really doesn't care what Iris wants, and her blithe willingness to try stealing Mike away from the human woman is the one thing that costs her sympathy with the audience. Still, Kristina is such a fun character that it's hard to root against her, even as we also hope for a happy ending for Mike and Iris.
The quality of the art is generally very high, with great facial expressions and gorgeous colors and shading. It occasionally veers toward the more cartoony, particularly when blood and gore are involved, but that doesn't really detract from it.
On the whole, this is a very well-done book, if you can forgive the shortcomings in the translation. If you like sexy stories about vampires, this one and its sequel are both worth a look.

Porn in comic form
I thought this was going to be a sexy vampire comic but instead its literally like looking at a storyboard of a cheap porno. Don't get me wrong, I definitely dont mind XXX films but I watch them cause I want to watch them - I read comics to be entertained - not... you know.
And anyway, besides that point - its not even good. The art isnt that bad but the main character's face isnt really consistent throughout the book.
The formula for the book goes a little like this:
-Opening scene - raunchy sex thrown in for effect
-Introduce new character - find excuse to throw in raunchy sex
-Plot idea - sex in the meantime
-uh oh! this book needs to end! uhhhh... kill the character and have sex at the end!
This whole comic is exactly like a porn film in that its all about the sex, no one cares about the story - XXX films just have "story" there for filler I guess. It should happen like, "lets make the coolest story ever with some really interesting characters that people will want to get to know and be dying for the next book" but these guys said, "lets make some raunchy sex in comic form and throw in something about a vampire to get all the fanboys to buy our crap!"
Avoid this. Get something awesome like Bomb Queen.

Interesting...
One of the first Eurorotica that I purchased. It is not that bad, but I prefer manga better for the story lines. If you like a tale that gets straight to the point you would like this. It is just too short for my tastes.
