As for Grandpa, he's credited as Grandpa in the movie and calling him Emerson just doesn't make any sense to me. With David still being alive, it just feels cheap to me because yes we didn't see him explode at the end of the flick, but it was a really powerful ending with that tear rolling down his face and I've already seen the character resurrected in the comic "Reign of The Frogs" that came out as a prequel comic to the Lost Boys: The Tribe and I was just hoping to see something different with this book. Now you've totally got me with the Star thing because I don't remember her being referenced as David's girlfriend in the comic. I'm glad you liked the review and I hope that the series picks up after this because I want to love this book.Eric Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608213100601078621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-87916888117918662372016-10-19T05:25:11.032-04:002016-10-19T05:25:11.032-04:00Actually there are plenty of people with strong op...Actually there are plenty of people with strong opinions on the sequels, including myself -- and I don’t agree with you, seeing as The Thirst was just a stolen plot point in a Supernatural episode and a lot of the canon was changed around for obvious and less obvious reasons -- and there's a few things worth noting:<br /><br />1.) Grandpa was ALWAYS Grandpa Emerson. This is not a continuity error.<br /><br />2.) David isn't dead at the end of the film. Even Kiefer Sutherland knew this, because they intended to make a sequel back then. (It fell through in the end and is now what you're getting in comic book form.)<br /><br />3.) I noticed you didn't mention Star being referenced as David's girlfriend in the comic, which is wrong. Star and David were never together, as stated by Star herself in the novel adaption of the movie. (By Craig Shaw Gardner.)<br /><br />Otherwise, I absolutely agree with your assessment.Me :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16594577685198834441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-13967772048706178202016-10-13T11:13:48.915-04:002016-10-13T11:13:48.915-04:00I didn't know this was a thing!!
