American Vampire, Vol. 2 by Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque, Mateus Santolouco
4.0
This second installment of the American Vampire series is pretty juicy, the pages gushing blood and all sorts of other categories of nastiness.
Skinner Sweet is truly a vile invention, a convincing monster, a chilling vampire. Edward Cullen – you sir are a douche bag in a tree. Deal with it.
I love the historical feel of this series. This time we get an up-close look at 1930s Las Vegas -- the beginnings of its rise (or descent) to become Sin City. We also get a peek at the building of the Hoover Dam. And then there's Pearl Jones (you may remember this twenty-something Hollywood starlet-wannabe from Book 1). She is all kinds of awesome with something worse than death on her heels. And for fear of getting all spoilery, that's all I'll say about that.
I missed Stephen King's contributions this time around; I can only hope he will resume his collaboration with Snyder sooner rather than later. Please please. For now, this is a kick-ass series that shows A LOT of potential and I'm hungry for more!
