    It's hard to believe it's been just over two years since this series has started. With the flashback we get here, it feels as if so much time has gone by. Scott Snyder keeps bringing each arc to a different place with a different feel to each story. Rafael Albuquerque's art goes along with the story so perfectly that it's hard to imagine this issue drawn by anyone else. There is plenty of subterfuge, action and twists here to make long time readers thrilled to be reading such a great series. Each issue delivers more yet makes you hunger for the next issue.

    I'm enjoying this story arc and eagerly await the next issue. I have this lingering feeling Henry is going to die, transforming Pearl into a force to be reckoned with. We'll just have to wait and see. I give issue #29 of American Vampire a 9/10. Read Full Review

    American Vampire is one of those series that rises above comic books and becomes great literature. Read Full Review

    Another one of those months where I could almost use a Control-V for my review: American Vampire is great and this is another example of why it's one of the best ongoing series on the market. It hasn't had an issue that was even "just okay" yet. Read Full Review

    If the past few issues have left you a little skeptical as to whether you should continue picking this book up each month, this issue goes a long way to assuaging your fears. Also, the way the issue ends, it would be surprising if events in “Lord of Nightmares” didn't start trickling into the main story over the next couple of issues. I could be wrong, but things just seem to be leaning that way. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Doug Zawisza Jul 30, 2012

    "American Vampire" has been a disturbingly delightful book since it first hit the stands. Almost three years later, Snyder and Albuquerque revisit some familiar geography for Skinner and Pearl, and through the lens of time and place, the creative duo shows just how much everyone and everything has evolved -- some for the better, some not so much, all forever altered. This is the second installment of "The Blacklist," and the twenty-ninth issue of the series, but the adventures are still fresh, electric and exciting. Read Full Review
