American Vampire, Vol. 3 by Scott Snyder
4.0

This re-read for American Vampire has been a nice surprise. I'm really digging it so far.

This is broken into two stories. The first is all about Skinner hunting Henry as he goes into a special unit in war. This unit is made to hunt down vampires. Skinner tags along to try and take out Henry but of course, we meed a new breed of vampires, and they might even be worse than American Vampires. The next story is about Felicia and Cash on a undercover mission to try and get the cure for vampires. This is more of a stealth like story with a big blow out ending.

The funny thing is both are build up stories. Both start off a bit slow though I will say the first story picks up faster with some great moments and a perfect ending. The second story, while not as good in pacing, and takes a bit to grow, the ending is a great moment too. Both build up to solid endings with satisfying conclusions, art great as always, and all pretty damn interesting.

A nice 4 out of 5 for this volume.
