The siege continues with the last humans on Earth trapped behind the walls of Vatican City as billions of vampires wait outside, afraid of the holy relics. But something is buried beneath the Vatican itself and the vampires want it more than even the human blood inside.
I also appreciated the leadership role Guido has taken on. Watching him initiate a forced dialogue with the lead vampire was compelling a risky move that adds tension to the story. The question now is: how long can Guido keep up this gambit before it all falls apart? Read Full Review
Vatican City 2 successfully raises thestakes on this vampire thriller as the survivors fight back and actually place the vampires at a position where they no longer hold all the cards. It will be very interesting to see how Millar and Berg wrap this mini-series up although there certainly seems like there is a possibility for another volume upon the conclusion of this arc.

VATICAN CITY #2 paints a frightful picture of humanity's future if the vampires get their hands on a long-dead secret. Mark Millar's exposition-heavy issue is a solid read, especially for the sheer courage of the hero. That said, the big reveal is a tad predictable, and Per Berg's art is a mixed bag. Read Full Review
Plot
The ruined planet and the other world powers fear that this wave of destruction that wiped out the United States will reach their borders, unaware of what is happening in the Vatican.
The surviving Monsignor explains to Guido and the other survivors the importance of the Vatican Library, full of secrets and forgotten artifacts. However, Guido wants them to show him the alarms they have in place for a contingency, and that's when he discovers poisonous gas.
The Monsignor reveals that the queen of the vampires is called GEL GORGE-EH, a demon who ruled humanity for 20,000 years, in a terrible darkness the Vatican called the Age of Nosferatu, which culminates when she is buried in St. Peter's Basilica.

Does anyone else think this only exists because Millar hopes that Hollywood will turn it into a movie? As a comic it's pretty much indecipherable, thanks to some of the worst art I've seen in years.
