American Vampire #15

Written by Scott Snyder

It's becoming hard to find new ways to praise this comic, as it is so consistently impressive.  We're in the middle of an arc (always the hardest time to review a comic) set during the Second World War.  Henry has traveled to Taipan with a squad of vampire hunters which is now under attack from a group of local vampires that are faster and more vicious than any type they've ever seen before.

They learn that the Japanese have built something strange on the island, but the locals don't know what it is - only that it's horrible.  What Henry and his compatriots don't know though, is that Skinner Sweet is with them, posing as a normal American soldier.  While all this is going on, Pearl is rushing to Taipan to try to alert Henry of Skinner's presence.

This issue flew past pretty quickly, but was still very satisfying.  As with every issue he's done on this book, Albuquerque's work is amazing.
