Welcome back to more new-release
reviews! Today is dominated by Marvel titles because this week there
were a bunch of new AvX related tie-ins that we knew folks would want
to read.
But despair not if you have little
interest in the Marvel Summer Event, there are a couple of less
fighty-spandex titles on the list as well, starting with this Vertigo
wonder that kicks the list off!
American Vampire: Lord of
Nightmares #1
(Vertigo)
Story : Scott Snyder
Art : Dustin Nguyen

Another Felicia Book story, and this
one steeped heavily in Vassals of Morning Star lore. Needless
to say you should not be picking this book up unless you are an
American Vampire fan. And in case you are an American
Vampire fan, then congratulations... you just found another American
Vampire comic book. An awesome continuation of an awesome series.
With only slightly less awesome characters.
What? I'm a Skinner Sweet fan okay. And
Felicia just never did it for me.
But that doesn't mean she didn't do it
for anyone. And even though I begrudge her slow yet inevitable
takeover of the limelight in the American Vampire saga, I do respect
her prowess and recognize her necessity. She is the perfect heroine
for this saga. And it seems that the vassals of the Morning Star have
let loose the perfect villain for the saga as well.
