American Vampire

review 1: Good stuff. The premise here is that in the late 1800s, a new breed of vampires rises in America, with slightly different abilities and weaknesses than their predecessors, the Euro-vamps. Two different stories are told in this volume: Scott Snyder's tale of Skinner Sweet and Pearl in the 1920s, and Stephen King's "origin" of Skinner Sweet in the 1880s. Both are good, and both feature terrific art by Rafael Albuquerque, whose art is much better suited to this story than to the super-hero stuff I've seen from him before. Further volumes promise to take the story further into the succeeding decades, a good idea, and one I look forward to.

I'm a fan of this drift away from the romanticizing of vampires. As a deviation, it serves a purpose, but making it a new canon is something I find annoying. The vampires in this telling are cunning predators — vicious when needed, blending in as a matter of course to better allow for empire-building and string-pulling. I enjoyed the savage vampires of "30 Days of Night" and the vampires of "American Vampire" make for a refreshing offering. They're not always savage, not always lurking and hiding in shadows, but they are there in the middle of everything.

Absolutely vile. The gorgeous covers are not worth it in the slightest.
