In the first story, series mainstays Skinner Sweet, Pearl and company return to Hollywood in the '50s during the Red Scare. In a time where America was on the lookout for the next Communist threat, was the real danger something far more insidious? A major turning point in AMERICAN VAMPIRE lore begins here!

In the second tale, familiar face and vampire hunter Felicia Book is "retired" from vampire hunting when she gets called back into action to track down and kill the most powerful vampire of all time. The hunt takes our heroes through post-war Europe, behind the Iron Curtain and into the heart of Russia to track this deadly enemy...

    I write comic books! Growing up, I always wanted to write comics, but I ended up trying my hand at fiction first. I got my MFA from Columbia University, published a book of short stories with The Dial Press in 2006 called Voodoo Heart, then finally broke into comics in 2009 and haven't looked back since. I've worked extensively for DC Comics, writing such titles as Batman, Detective Comics, Justice League, the comic event books DC Dark Knights Metal and Death Metal, and Swamp Thing, among others. I've also created a number of series with some great co-creators and partners -- books like We Have Demons, Clear, Night of the Ghoul, Nocterra, American Vampire, Wytches, the Wake, AD: After Death, and more... I live in NY with my wife, Jeanie and our three boys. I am also a big fan of Elvis Presley.

Snyders' writing on Batman has received critical acclaim, but frankly this is his real amazing work. American Vampire is the vampire story you want to read if you're not a fan of Vampire Diaries or Twilight. This is for real horror fans. That's not to say this is all slasher type violence, as the relationship of Pearl and Henry is at the heart of the series and really hits home with its simplicity. Honestly, any fan of Snyders' work will love it, or just any fan of the story telling medium as well.

Scott Snyder's tale is brought to life in a way that is both episodic, with each issue filled with pieces of his vampire mythology, and operatic, building those pieces into a tapestry of modern mythology. That he has done this consistently over five volumes now is a staggering feat. Accompanied by some of the best artist in the business, Snyder continues to make a seemingly silly premise, a new species of vampire has been born in America, a better, smarter and more fulfilling experience than most standard novels being published today.

I've stopped reading the series for now.the storyline was very good and held up
through all five volumes. The artwork was spotty, to say the least, but on occasion
was so good it added volume to the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vampire armsrace getting a bit stale but the art is still outstanding
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2013
Verified Purchase
It's inevitable in a long running series like this that a certain amount of escalation will occur. In this case it's of the "mega super DUPER Boss Vampire" variety. Somewhat similar to watching season of Voltron. Each boss monster to be triumphed over has to be more viscerally formidable than the last. An extra set of claws, arms, wings. Laser Vision. An aura of mental domination. Etc. etc. it works up to a point but it was still disappointing to see the writers dredge up the old "Dracula Lord of Vampires" schtick. This volume felt like a transition between the previous primary characters and storylines and a new one involving "mega super bad guy" and it's generally been done well enough to hold my interest. I'm curious to see how the battle against the latest "mega bad guy" progresses in the next volume. If it's simply more super showdown battles and less interesting story and character development I may have to eject. The narrative and the sometimes mundane aspects of these characters lives are far better reads than another smash up panel of overclawed freakazoids smashing the snot out of each other.

The Vassals of the Morning Star, whose mission is to eradicate the vampires must co-opt Felicia Book, the half vampire, when an ancient enemy of incredible power is unleashed upon the world.

Snyder's vampire saga evolved and develops well, making old characters feel fresher as their arcs are reset for the more modern era of the 1950s. The art is flowing and, when the vampires are unleashed, can appear brutal and bloodthirsty.

The American Vampire Volumes are rather pricy - in my opinion, they are worth it. The artwork is awesome (and unique), the story twists everytime and I really really like the characters. Since the books evolve into an ongoing storyline, you need to start with Vol. 1, though, otherwise you will not understand what is going on. Vol. 5 had me sitting on the edge of my chair.

The American Vampire trades always end up being a good value, you get a lot of book for a low price. Scott Snyder is a fantastic comic writer, and the artists paired with him are at the top of their game as well. I've loved every book in the series and the hardcovers are well put together and you won't find a page unreadable or messed up by the format in the least.
