Part 1 of the AMERICAN VAMPIRE World War II Epic begins here with a tale of heroism and horror!Hawaii, 1944. For nearly two decades, Henry Preston and his wife, American Vampire Pearl Jones, have tried to live a quiet life. But with war raging overseas, Henry feels he can no longer live in the shadows, and makes a deal to join a covert mission to a remote Japanese island an island inhabited by an enemy far more dangerous than any Axis powers. It's the war in the Pacific like you've never seen it before with Pearl, Henry and Skinner Sweet at the heart of it all and more fangs and blood than ever before.
I don't think it's hyperbole to label this issue of American Vampire the best we've seen yet. And that's saying a lot, considering this series has been one of our absolute favorites month in and month out. But Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque have once again raised the bar for themselves. The saga of the first American Vampire and the lives he's affected continues to pick up speed like a freight train. And there's no sign of it coming off the rails any time soon. Next month can't get here soon enough. Read Full Review
