American Vampire Vol. 2 picked right up where the first volume left off. This story definitely keeps my attention. The character of Skinner Sweet is the perfect villain; mean, nasty, tricky, and downright E-V-I-L.
It is about time someone put the bite back into the vampire sub-genre! Without spoiling any of the story I can definitely say that these books are full of flesh-ripping fights between vampire clans, a conspiracy, and lots and lots of bloody vengeance! Its refreshing to read about this new twist to the classic vampire formula, and nice not to have to see glittery frat boys arguing over dreamy eyed sorority sisters while wanna-be goth tweens mope around in the background.
American Vampire is everything that "Team Glitter Gang" is not...interesting, smart, diabolical, and most of all ADULT entertainment rather than high school fodder. Personally I would like to thank Stephen King and Scott Snyder for bringing back the vampires I grew up with!
