American Vampire, Volume 2 by Scott Snyder
5.0
Most of the reviews here have covered the plot, so I'm not going to recite it all here.
Essentially, the main thing I want to say is just that I think American Vampire is brilliant. The first volume set up the main characters and the idea of the American vampire, faster, stronger and just better than the older European vampires, and the second one builds on that. We get to see what Sweet is up to now, get introduced to a couple of new characters and see how Pearl is trying to live. The plot for each 'chapter' is gripping, the art is fantastic it's nice to see vampires that actually act like vampire. Even the ones trying to live 'normal' lives almost relish the moments they get to unleash themselves.
Snyder slip in a few good twists here and there, dragging the reader along with tension building until whatever we're being led to is revealed. Fantastic series, and I honestly can't wait until I can afford volume three.
