IDW has made an awesome move to rid our bookshelves of sparkly vampires and replace them with something better. More specifically, they are offering Twilight fans (or boyfriends) at San Diego Comic-Con the opportunity to trade-in any book or graphic novel in the series for a free copy of the 30 Days of Night graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith.<\/p>\n

The press release:<\/p>\n

IDW Publishing is daring fans to switch to a vampire franchise with some teeth! This year at San Diego Comic-Con, in an unprecedented promotion, fans can turn in any copy of a Twilight book or graphic novel at the IDW booth #2643 for a free copy of a 30 DAYS OF NIGHT graphic novel! IDW is vowing to help vampire fans get back on track with the undead the way they were always meant to be: bloody and terrifying. \u201cReal horror fans have watched vampires systematically turned into wimpy fodder for years now. It\u2019s time to fight back\u201d said Niles. \u201cI\u2019m happy to be working with IDW on the Sparkles for Blood event. Hopefully, working together we can put an end to this nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n

IDW\u2019s exclusive \u201cSparkles for Blood\u201d outreach program is designed to help all fans of the undead get what they really want \u2013 bloody, vampire horror. Sprung from the twisted minds of Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith in 2002, 30 Days of Night graphic novels and major motion pictures offer vampires as the feral, animalistic creatures that stalked humans under cover of night that they really are.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, vampires in pop culture have started to swing back to the romanticized vamps of other literature and films before 30 Days of Night,\u201d said IDW chief creative officer, Chris Ryall. \u201cIn some cases, they\u2019re even being treated more as chaste immortal teenagers than as the murderous creatures that they are. \u2018Sparkles for Blood\u2019 will remind everyone that vampires are creatures of the night, not of the twilight.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the book-swap being offered to fans at Comic-Con, everyone who receives a 30 Days of Night graphic novel in trade for their sparkly novel will also receive information about the coming 30 Days of Night ongoing series. Written by 30 Days co-creator Steve Niles, with art by acclaimed artist Sam Kieth, this first-ever ongoing 30 Days of Night series kicks off very appropriately in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may need a forklift at the end of the show, for all the Twilight books,\u201d says Dirk Wood, IDW\u2019s director of retail marketing. \u201cBut it will be worth it. It\u2019s time to start scaring people again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every lapsed 30 Days of Night fan and sparkly vampire purveyor is invited to the IDW Publishing booth #2643 at Comic-Con to get back on the straight and bloody path. Steve Niles will be in attendance and signing at the IDW booth every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
