The Lost Boys (2016-2017) #1
The stakes are raised in this nostalgic and unstoppable sequel to the ’80s cult classic vampire film, The Lost Boys. Veteran horror writers Tim Seeley (GRAYSON, NIGHTWING, Hack/Slash), and Scott Godlewski (THE DARK & BLOODY, Copperhead) deliver a gruesome and stylish return to the bloody boardwalks and big hair of 1987! Santa Carla, California is on edge. The eccentric coastal town and haven for the undead was finally returning to “normal” after its last supernatural scuffle left the local coven’s head vampire dead and gave newcomers Michael and Sam Emerson a housewarming both violent and bizarre. Now the brothers must once again team up with militant vampire hunters Edgar and Allan Frog when a new gang of ruthless, stunning, life-sucking nightcrawlers known as the Blood Belles emerges from the aftermath to collect Michael’s love interest and their lost sister, Star.

'The Lost Boys #1' by Tim Seeley and art by Scott Godlewski picks up right where the movie left off. It's been quite a long time since I've seen the movie, but there is some lead in text that should bring it right back to others like me who are a bit distant from it.
Santa Carla is not a safe place to live. The story of Sam and Michael moving there is recapped, and now Sam has turned it into a comic book and he's trying to sell it. It also seems like there is a new gang of female vampires in town, so Michael and Sam will have to rely on the Frog Brothers again, especially after an older group of monster hunters is targeted.
This is part one of six. It was fun to see these characters in a book again, and I remembered quite a bit of the movie based on the back story given. The art was ok. Neither awesome nor terrible. I'd be interested enough to read more.

Okay, but I would have gotten more out of it if I'd rewatched the movie, first. It's been years since I've seen it and I definitely felt lost at times during the story - I didn't much remember who anybody was anymore, nor who died, etc.
It probably didn't help that I picked this up directly after finishing Book 2 of The Wicked and the Divine, which is one of the best graphic novel series I've read.

I am a big fan of the cult-classic 80s movie "The Lost Boys" since I was about ten-years-old, but this comic did not give any "feels" nor love for the characters as the film did. I felt like the story was weak compared to the original and I really was not having it. It was pretty boring and like "are you kidding me" type of way, idk. I just felt like many characters became non-significant in this story (the mom, Michael) for the Frog Brothers to be bright and centered.

Çizgi roman içinde çizgi roman olayı güzeldi ama yavaş giden bir hikâyeymiş gibi geldi bana. Devamına bakacağız artık.

This makes no sense without seeing he movie first. Not for me.

The guy at the comic book store got really excited to see I bought this, so my hopes were pretty high.
It's definitely good to see a proper sequel being written, but are we really going to have some Helen of Troy nonsense with Star's character? Will the motivation of the vampires be "must get our girl and also revenge!!"? Gimme more, guys! Strongest moment was the anticlimatic aftermath of being a big damn hero, weakest was the art. (Not terrible but a style I can't get into).
Not bad first issue, but I want to get wow'd. There's a lot of promise and also nostalgia but I don't want a totally predictable plot here!

I was already inclined to like this, because I loved the film so much. But the story was quite interesting and I'm definitely interested to see more of Lost boys. I never watched the sequel they made. This feels like a sequel to me. I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved, Brought back memories of the movie. Still has that odd sense of humour. Glad they stuck close to the original movie....Looking forward to the next issue

Yes! Throws you right back to 1987! Loved the story and was happy to see it was the same characters from the original movie.

3-stars more for nostalgia than content. Still not bad though.
