UnTouchable

Sia Lee is a modern-day vampire who absorbs energy from humans by touching them instead of drinking their blood. That is a clever, unusual twist on the vampire story, and the series builds its humour on the awkwardness of a creature who must learn to live among people without causing harm.The strength is the concept. The energy-by-touch idea gives the story an inventive engine, and the full-colour art is bright and expressive. Sia's self-conscious attempts at normality are funny.The weaknesses are clear. The romance can feel one-note, and the premise can repeat across chapters. Readers wanting a darker vampire tale will find it light.Recommended for fans of playful vampire comedies with an inventive twist. Expect a light, bright ride.
