review 1: Now that's how you take a hiatus! Comparing this with other series that have had mid run pauses to regather before the push to the end, this is a very good effort.You could skip this volume entirely without affecting the main story arch - the stories are of no consequence and do...

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 ...

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 Pear...

review 1: Not highly recommended, but not so bad it deserves only 2 stars.
review 2: I like the artwork and I really like the back and forth stories of the Old West and 1920s Hollywood.

review 1: I've read several reader reviews criticizing this book for what it's not: a continuation of the series' primary narrative. I think that complaint speaks to just how fucking good American Vampire is. I was delighted to read this compilation of short stories. Yes they are of varyin...

review 1: In this issue of American Vampire Scott Snyder takes a step back from all that silly vampire nonsense to take a look at a few important issues such as restoring the lands of the native American peoples, the dangers of teenage rebellion, the rise in vampire home invasions, and of ...

review 1: This sort of disappointed me. The vampire hunter angle is usually the weakest done in this books, mainly because despite tying up some loose ends, has the same predictable pattern that we have seen in all vigilante books, movies or comics. Pearl is the one decent character that i...

review 1: Scott Snyder does an amazing job creating a different kind of vampire for a different country and era. How would the society and culture of a nation effect the undead? Also, how would the older race of vampires deal with something almost alien to them?A nice change from the stan...

review 1: Excellent as usual. This is one of my favorite comics. Superhero comics leave a lot to be desired for me now, but "American Vampire" fills the void nicely. I've been reading it since it started and it hasn't disappointed. I love that the story universe encompasses a world of vamp...

review 1: I love this series, however I was not that happy that Rafael Albequre (sp?) had not done most of the artwork for this set of novels. I loved the way that the characters were portrayed, and the death of Skinner Sweet (though, since the series is focused on him and there are at lea...
