Scott Snyder and Raphael Alberquerque's American Vampire has quickly become one of my favorite comic book series because of its entirely fresh take on vampirism, engaging characters with diverse backgrounds, while telling a lot about America's early days. Clearly, this is not your ordinary vampire story, for it not only shows monsters with fangs and supernatural beings killing each other, but it also takes you through America's history, culture and its heart like a real-life time travel machine.
The latest spin to the saga - Survival of the Fittest #1 - is more of like the "expansion" of the AV universe, and I think it is safe to say that this is Snyder's answer to the question as to whether or not AV will be an official franchise just like other Vertigo titles.
And I think the answer is a resounding yes, with this first issue giving us a glimpse of the team up of Cash McCogan and Felicia Book - the second arc all-stars - which is just the beginning of what could be another thrilling series.
