American Vampire moves into the seedy 70's. The whole gang is back although they've moved onto new roles. I like that Swinner Sweet has turned into Johnny Blaze / Evel Knievel. There's some cool moments in this. American Vampire moves into the seedy 70's. The whole gang is back although they've moved onto new roles.

Really captures the fun and grittiness of the first series--so glad it's back! Really captures the fun and grittiness of the first series--so glad it's back!

While I was not a fan of the original American Vampire series. This caught my eye simply for the art. The 1st issue relies heavily on the reader knowing the Mythos of the series.. nonetheless I was able to follow enough to be intrigued. It has my attention for now. We will see if it keeps it.

Maybe I haven’t read enough of the original series, or it’s been too long, but this issue seemed like mostly fan service, with some forgettable dialogue, maybe some thinly-veiled Trump insults, and some rather tepid action scenes.

I really enjoyed this issue. I read a few of the trades a long time ago but am not caught up, and this definitely inspired me to read the latest volumes. It comes through that Snyder is really fascinated with the time period, and Evel Knievel, as we all were at the time.

Good elements overshadowed by Snyder using the book to preach politics.
Vincent Stoessel –
I think you need to have read the original series to appreciate this. Putting this series on hold

Here we go! We waited 10 years, and the pull and muscle from Snyder hasn’t age a day ... my humble recommendation have your other issues at hand, they’ll come in handy if you, like me, prefer to go though paperbacks instead of Wikipedia to remember the call backs you get from this new pages 🩸

It was good to meet the old friend again. The stage is set. Let's go wild in the 70's! It was good to meet the old friend again. The stage is set. Let's go wild in the 70's!
