Quick recap

The first half of Twilight in comics form, drawn by Young Kim. Bella Swan moves from Phoenix to Forks and catches the eye of Edward Cullen, who first seems to hate her and then saves her from a skidding van. She can't forget the impossible strength she saw. After a rescue in Port Angeles and a trail of clues, Bella realizes Edward is a vampire, from a family that only drinks animal blood. The volume ends in the meadow, where Edward shows Bella how his skin sparkles in the sun and they admit how they feel.
