I do so enjoy this series. This World War II story, set on a fictional island in the Pacific, has worked really well to explore the relationship between Pearl and Henry, as Skinner Sweet has used the chaos of the war to make a move against the man that he apparently sees as his rival.
Most of the plot of this arc falls away in this issue, as the focus is squarely on the conflict between the two American vampires, and Henry. I was a little surprised at the depth of Pearl's feelings for Skinner - I'm not sure that we've seen enough evidence of that before now - but I also found it pretty interesting, especially as something is going to pop up again.
I also found the last page of the story to be pretty interesting. As the Vertigo line contracts (DMZ, Northlanders, and Scalped are all finishing in the next year), this book stands as a good example of why DC should continue to invest in the imprint.
