This has been my favorite series of American Vampire thus far.
The creative team taking off a few years from this book has only helped the stories. This book is well written and drawn and keeps me at the edge of my seat throughout each issue.
You can’t really ask for more than that.
The title of this issue is “The Big Lie” and it certainly makes sense why when you read it.
The beginning of this issue takes place inside the Matterhorn. We get to see Pearl, Skinner, Book and the rest of the team going up against some ghouls. Things aren’t looking too good for them!
They run from the ghouls.
It isn’t long however before they come up against another bunch of creeps called the Council of the Firsts.
The leader of this council is a real piece of work who is telling them that he accepts their macabre gift. And that is when things really take off.
The crew listens to the history of the Council. The history plays heavily into what is going on with the main plot. The team only has a few days to convince this Council of Firsts that humanity is worth saving. Can they do it?
The story is dark, fun, and exciting. Snyder is doing his best work scripting this series. The art is among the best work that Rafael Albuquerque has ever done. This is a fantastic book from cover to cover and I can’t wait to see where we are going with this.
RATING: A
