American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest

American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest by Vertigo/DC Comics. Written by Scott Snyder. Drawn by Sean Murphy. $2.99. Five Issue Limited Series. Once again Scott Snyder brings a new twist to his new world that is inhabited by his brand of vampire. Still set in the 1940's, this story focuses on Cash McCogan, the former sheriff of Las Vegas and Felicia Book, the daughter of the Jim Book the sheriff that brought Skinner Sweet down when he was alive. You find out that Felicia was effected by Jim Books blood and isn't a vampire but has some of the abilities that they do. She has been trying to cure herself of the blood that courses through her. The Vassals of the Morning Star find a botanist that may have found a cure for Vampirism and want them to go get the guy. Again Scott Snyder brings a very detailed and interesting storyline that delves deeper into the world he is creating with the influence of vampires. New to the book is Sean Murphy as the artist. Just off a limited series involving John Constantine, he is definitatly an addition to the art team of the book, even to the point that if he tookl over the book as the artist not many would complain. This limited series is a definite read if you want to get even deeper into the world of Scott Snyder or just simply like a really good vampire comic.
