This graphic novel series gets better and better. I read the first three volumes on Kindle Unlimited, & decided to buy the hardcover omnibus because I KU only has the first few volumes, & I know this is one I'm gonna want to finish.
This book contained two different stories, the first following our gal Pearl & her husband Henry as Skinner Sweet comes back into their lives, & Henry's secrets from his wife come back to haunt them. It was probably my favorite storyline so far in the series.
The second story follows Felicia Book & the former sheriff with the vampire child, Cashel. They are traveling into Nazi territory following some intelligence that a doctor for the Reich has discovered a cure for vampirism that will allow Cashel's son to live a normal life. But they bite off more than they can chew.
Both stories were wonderfully action packed, with great development from all our main characters (including Skinner, who gets to play... well, kind of play the good guy for a change). The writing is a treat & more different vampire species are introduced. I find the lore surrounding the myriad types of vampires one of the most interesting points of the story.
Then there's the art. The art in this graphic novel is perfect, in my opinion. Filled with details & vivid colors, the panels tell the story in the most vivid of ways, with some haunting images that get imprinted onto the mind's eye. It is the life behind the story.
Bottom line, if you like horror and/or graphic novels, give the American Vampire series a try. I would (of course) recommend starting with book 1, which is available on Kindle Unlimited. Actually, books 1 - 6 are available on KU, but as I mentioned above, I didn't even make it through this volume before buying the 2 volume omnibus for the entire run, including a couple of side spinoffs that do not appear in the individual volumes. I can't wait to dive into this in hard copy! I certainly recommend it to GN fans, & vampire fans, anywhere.
