American Vampire

[Nico Esq]

I love this title. It is probably my favorite book that I read in trade format. Today was the release of the 4th Hard Cover. Thankfully, today was the day that I was able to catch up and stop reading this book in trade format. I'm really curious to find out if I will enjoy this title as much when I'm reading it in smaller clips on a monthly basis. Is any one else enjoying this book as much as me. Why do you think this book hasn't had any interest from collectors or any heat in the secondary market. There was a time when I couldn't find a copy of the Jim Lee variant to issue No. 1, but it's now being listed. I think this book would make an amazing TV series and that it is a thousand times better than True Blood. Hopefully some day I'll be able to score a Steven King SS copy of American Vampire.

I've been reading the issues as they've come out.

 

I mostly kept reading because I enjoy the art & the story but I LOVE the character Skinner Sweet.

 

I do feel that if he is removed from the title then I may stop buying it altogether.

One of my top ten reads every month and Yes, Skinner Sweet is an awesome character.

Usually don't like this genre at all, but this is also one of my favorite reads these days. Snyder's on a roll...

I completely agree! I used to very much dislike vampires until Snyder made them cool again. I love this series.

I picked up #1 and stuck with it monthly until the end of the "Beast in the Cave" arc. I may fill the gaps at some point if I can get them cheap - just found I wasn't enjoying it all that much reading in small chunks. I can imagine it's better in trade.

 

Interesting comment from Nico re hoping for a Steven King SS. I know he's a VERY rare sig find, so maybe that's the reason, but frankly I think Snyder's story in issues 1-6 was much better than King's.

Picked up #1 at my LCS today on your recommendation, it better be good or I'll send the boys round.... but seriously, giving it a read tonight (thumbs u

The RRPs are surprisingly cheap on ebay ... they were really hard to find for a while, but there's been a bunch on ebay in the last three months. I haven't seen any in a few weeks though.
