American Vampire Vol. 5 by Scott Snyder

3.0

Skinner Sweet! Not dead! And Pearl is back! And they're . . . working for VMS? Okay, Snyder, whatever you say. I was a tad disappointed in this one, what with the build up of Dracula & how ultimately his bad vampire self was only around for a short while. Although way to be, Agent Hobbes! If you'd asked me before I read this, I would've told you that of course I wanted Sweet & Pearl to hook up, but when they did - I don't know, it just seemed sort of icky. But although I (know this is the most nit-pickiest problem with a graphic novel ever) cannot stand Sweet's hair cut, I'm pretty happy with all of the artwork, even that of Rafael Albuquerque, who has been known to bug me in the past. It's clearly never going to be as good as it was in Volume One, but I've made my peace with that.
