American Vampire #11

Written by Scott Snyder
Art by Mateus Santolouco

It's become a little routine to talk about how good this comic is, but there we are.  Snyder has this book simmering along on a slow boil, and is taking his time spinning out his story.  This issue, which concludes a two-part arc, shows us what has been going on with Pearl and Henry in the main plot-line, and we follow Hattie in the subplot as she searches for Pearl.

There's a very nice thing that happens towards the end of the book, as Snyder surprises us (and Hattie) in her search, and puts off the meeting of these two former friends for a while.

The art continues to be by Santolouco, who does a decent job, although I would gladly see Rafael Albuquerque return.  I hope that he does next month (I refuse to read solicitation texts on books that are on my pull-list, and so genuinely don't know).
