review 1: This volume is composed of a single over-sized side story and an anthology issue. So don't expect any progress with Skinner Sweet's or Pearl's stories.The Long Road to Hell was entertaining but the couple is no Sweet and Pearl. And writing this review just a week after reading this I can't really remember anything from this story, never a good thing.There are several big names in the anthology. But like any anthology there are hits and misses. The writing and art styles cover a wide range so there should be something for everyone. I tended to like the stories from writers and artists I was already familiar with, such as Becky Cloonan and Gail Simone, although I did not read the credits until afterward.Given how several of the short stories in the anthology include vam... morepire massacres in the early days of America it's amazing the continent was settled at all. It felt like every pioneer settlement and Indian tribe was plagued by groups of vampires. It wound up feeling a bit silly.
review 2: Moué gros bof... Ce tome est une anthologie de nouvelles dessinées et écrites par plusieurs artistes, plus le chapitre "The long road to hell" en intro du duo Snyder/Albuquerque qui déchire tout (s'il n'y avait eu que ce chapitre, j'aurai mis 5 étoiles direct). Les nouvelles des autres artistes ne sont pas tout du même acabit malheureusement, elles sont inégales voire complètement inutiles pour certaines, en expliquant trop les origines de certains persos, ou en faisant un récit très classique de certaines histoires (je pense notamment à celle signée pourtant par des gens que j'adore, Ba et Moon ; mais aussi Portland 1940 ou encore Les producteurs). J'ai trouvé la nouvelle "Bon sang de Kansas" particulièrement moche et illisible.Heureusement pour contrebalancer ces nouvelles anecdotiques et/ou médiocres, il y a les histoires de Snyder/Albuquerque (portant le titre de la chanson de Johnny Cash, The man comes around), celle de Gail Simone "Essence de vie" essentiellement centrée sur Hattie, et mon gros coup de foudre perso "Canadian vampire" au dessin magnifique, remontant jusqu'aux origines du Kid. less

Not essential reading for the series as this a series of stories set in the American Vampire world.
