According to Wikipedia, Adam got Hep A from food poisoning, though I'm sure he already had a lesser case of that because -- according to him -- his mother used infected needles while pregnant with him, and the bad Chinese gave him the really bad Hep. I'll have to check on the issues I have. Coker did not make Adam look good in the first chapter...we're talking distended belly from the disease and side effects from the medication. Aside from plot devices falling from the sky, Winick did good disassociating from traditional vampire mythos...as opposed to Abel & Soria, who altered the rules just a little and made it a dark comedy. I met Coker at Wizard World Philly in '03, and I got <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lantern75/1479112659/" rel="nofollow">this sketch of Adam</a>.

One of the best vampire comics probably ever made... tried not to get too caught up in the mythology. AND this was one of the books that convinced my girlfriend that comics could be a good read.... then Y:the last man came out and the rest is history :D Remember buying this when it first came out… looked back at it only a week or so ago.
