Re-Reading AMERICAN VAMPIRE - A Decade Long Horror Saga

[@thatguyoddly4610]

Thanks for this man I needed a quick review of the comic since I was thinking about getting this comic for my brother who likes vampires it was either this or batman eternal omnibus or all star batman by scott synder. This one might just be the one.

I had to stop half way through. I read the first 2 tpbs and fell in love with the story. It's been a while but I'm going to read the entire story now as it really is that good. I'm a huge vampire fan and the artwork and storytelling is amazing. I appreciate the reminder as my life has gotten quite busy. I'm going to pick it back up asap. Love the channel and all the reviews, thank you.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

I use to read a lot of mangas and so American vampire was the first omnibus I've bought and read. I saw the name "Stephen king" being involved and immediately had to jump in and it was such an amazing experience I had to buy synders batman omni next... And eversince then, I've fell into a hole, I've been addicted to Omnis/western comics haha. Sweet video, keep doing Ur thang my guy!

Another great video / review. I hadn’t heard of the book but I’ll check it out. I think offering a review after rereading a series provides a different perspective regardless of how old the book is. You have been a huge influence on the books I’ve read. Hell, I started reading Saga because of one your videos even after I ignored everyone else’s recommendation. You do a great job of selling the stories and for that I thank you.

[@TheHardcoverComic]

Thank you for the kind words!

I am stilll waiting for the movie or the tv show. What's going on with this great graphic novel that seems to be neglected by Hollywood?

Hey, Mike. Sorry so late to this video. I've been having a hard time for awhile now. I won't go into all of it, as there are various physical & emotional issues involved. But, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your video. I love "American Vampire." I have the 2 omnis, as well. Beautiful books, & excellent art. It deserves another read. Thanks again, bro. Hope you & Matt & your families are doing well.😊 👍🏻 👍🏻 ❤

Loved the series, got last October both Omnis thankfully vol 1 got re-printed and I've finished with 5 days. The art was great and all the stories were extremely enjoyable especially the character development was great. Especially the stories set in the wild west were great.

[@nicolascaicedo7274]

I twited to Snyder a couple months back, and he responded saying that as soon as the rights revert back to him we should be getting more American Vampire 🤘

[@jamesisaacson6379]

@nicolascaicedo7274 question did synder say how long/ when right reverted back to him also long or when will more Americans vampire be realse to public or any info about story or chacter what it will be about if not could you Twitte him about?

[@robbieduffy9998]

Is this channel still ongoing..??!! haven't seen nothing new posted now for over a year..!!

[@geminisundone]

Loved the run but 1976 was god awful.

[@johndaley9492]

The decision to try and turn Skinner Sweet into some sort of redeemable anti-hero, rather than a straight up villain was a weak one on Snyder’s part and sapped the story of any remaining threat. True to form, he lost his way badly with this book. The belated tacking on of a ‘big bad’ in the form of the grey trader, the contrived return of certain characters to provide a cheap ‘twist’ and the culmination of the whole thing being a crappy fist-fight between two Kaiju killed any regard I once had for the early part of the story, as it ultimately leads to nowhere but utter nonsense.

[@ClarkKENt5210]

I agree with a lot of what you said. The book completely lost me after the Blacklist arc and the Grey Trader is introduced. I’m not a big King reader, but having just some ancient evil monster feels like an homage to him, but it just doesn’t match what came before at all. It’s such a shame because I loved this series. I love the wooden fangs to bite them back so much. I love the lore of the first indigenous American vampire. Nazi stuff and Dracula was fun. So much good stuff. Before it came back as Second Cycle I said that it felt like the best HBO show they’ve never made.

[@Yalbou]

I agree, after the first omni this series becomes a massive joke

[@geminisundone]

​@@Yalbouit was the same with his 2 Batman omni's. First one great. Second one shite.

[@G.I_Jane]

I honestly thought AV:1976 was terrible, for all that build up and consistent horror tone the last 2 volumes have set since first starting in 2012, the final installment to this really nice franchise was ruined with so much inconsistencies and retcons. First off Jim Book being a bad guy and killing his wife was the most dumbest and laziest plot twist of all time, not to mention it never dives into how Alibena and Felicia got estranged. Then Mimiteh comes back being a girl boss. Felicia jihads herself along with the president and bixby. Gus was basically completely useless to the plot. Scott Snyder is truly overrated sometimes when he makes really bad writing decisions like these. There's so much rich areas of the lore they made that they didn't bother using or used poorly. Such as The Ancients and The Firsts. Not to mention it is infuriating how often they start a new chapter with a flashback. The final big bad boss just basically being a dumb demon from Tenacious D was abysmally shit. Even the Anthology series was horrible and Gene Bunting died 2 different ways lmao. It was just all over the place for a series that realistically should've only taken less than 5 years to finish. Overall one of the biggest disappointments as far as standalone comics go.

[@geminisundone]

Couldn't agree more. Loved the series and had all the trades which I sold to get the omni's and it is great until that rushed, convoluted, god awful last book 1976...what was he thinking!? Massive drop off at the end of a great run but Snyder's Batman new 52 run was the same..first Omni great...2nd Omni rubbish... Reminds me of Stephen King novels for the most part...great journey , lousy rushed endings...
