- With Vertigo Comics officially closed, a lot of original series are going with it. But one series in particular, American Vampire, is returning in 2020. In this video we take a look back at American Vampire and its sequel, Second Cycle, to determine why it's so inimitably good.
American Vampire is owned by Vertigo Entertainment and DC Comics, and was created by Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque.

I thought this was very strong for a first video essay! Keep it up and I'm looking forward to seeing where you go next.
Thanks so much, Matt!
This was the first video?! I’m coming late to the party, but it really was well written, well edited and with great content. Now I wanna read the comic, looks great!
Good job and keep going! Just woke up one more subscriber 🎉👍
Its what got me reading comics. Its well written imo.
True that! Can't recommend a better book to start on.
I love this graphic novel! I hope someone turns it into a show on HBO!
I'd be over the moon if that ever happens! Until then though, I'm fine with the book. It's one incredible read!
@@ForEveryKindofGeek Definitely!

For this to happen, the director for the Boys and the special effects artists for Grimm, need to team up.
Scott Snyder's my all time fav! His run on Justice League & All Star Batman is my fav from him. Will give this run a read at some point.
This is great! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks so much!!!
Awesome review i love American vampire its an excellent horror comic i hope you cover more vertigo
So American Vampire is a series I started but didn't feel compelled to continue. I loved the first volume, I read it in trades, but the second one didn't compel me to keep going. I was disappointed that it didn't hit me as hard as the first one, but after seeing this video I've decided to give the series another chance. Thank you
Great to hear it! For what it's worth, I loved Second Cycle and I think AV '76 has been fantastic so far.
I did not know this was a book I needed to read!!! Such a good video essay, definitely reading this.
Glad to hear it! I'd definitely recommend American Vampire, especially with it's sequel series officially wrapping
Great video! I had never heard of American Vampire before, and now I'm glad I have!
Thanks!!!
I´m from PORTUGAL, and i loved the review. In fact, i already bought the omnibus vol.1 and it´s amazing. Keep it up and keep going, i´m looking forward the next video.
Ah awesome video my dude! You’ve just earned yourself a subscription from me 😄👍👍
I completely and totally agree with you that American Vampire is a series that every comic book fan should read. 🧛🧛♀️
Cheers to you, my man! 🥃🥃
Thanks so much! Glad to have you aboard!
Great video man!! Look forward to reading it 😎😎
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Awesome video man you got my sub! I just started reading American Vampire and I have been loving it!
Glad to hear it, and thanks so much for checking this out!
@@ForEveryKindofGeek no worries man!
It’s 2020 and I haven’t heard anything about this wonderful series’ revival.
is it weird how the Gray trader variant looks kinda like the predator ?
I mean , the parasites aside , its the ones like Skinner and the little girl .
but at the same time they also seem to resemble the giant Bat creatures from Genndy Tartovsky's Primal
I thought this would be a review, however it was way to heavy on spoilers imo.
Why do you say Henry dies at the end of Volume 1? He does not even show up in volume 1 and is still alive in volume 2. Is your numbering different?
My bad, I might've muddled some of the terms. I referred to the first collection as "volume 1," and Second Cycle as "volume 2," although I think that first book also has its own volumes.
@@ForEveryKindofGeek okay, so cycle one must be volume 1-3. I’m just finishing volume 2 so I was a bit confused. Great Story though and I’m looking forward to getting caught up
Hello from france. I bought the first volume totally worth the read
So glad to hear it! Hello back from America!!
@@ForEveryKindofGeek hi I'm new at your channel. Can you do a story about The Spectre?
@@gabrielhughes8221 Welcome to the channel! I'm not super familiar with the Spectre's stories, but I'd love to do an essay on him in the future!
@@ForEveryKindofGeek oh okay,
Why hasn’t this been turned into a TV series by Amazon or Netflix?!?
Well DC
It is NOT great at all. I don't even understand this level of glazing.
American Vampire:1976 was terrible, for all that build up and consistent horror tone the last 2 volumes have set since first starting in 2012, the final installment to this really nice franchise was ruined with so much inconsistencies and retcons.
First off Jim Book being a bad guy and killing his wife was the most dumbest and laziest plot twist of all time, not to mention it never dives into how Alibena and Felicia got estranged.
Then Mimiteh comes back being a girl boss. Felicia jihads herself along with the president and bixby. Gus was basically completely useless to the plot, both him and Mimiteh just what conveniently escape the lair of The Beast by running out? Its fucking hilarious how that even made it into the final draft.
Scott Snyder is truly overrated sometimes when he makes really bad writing decisions like these.
There's so much rich areas of the lore they made that they didn't bother using or used poorly. Such as The Ancients and The Firsts. Not to mention it is infuriating how often they start a new chapter with a flashback. The final big bad boss just basically being a dumb demon from Tenacious D was abysmally shit.
Even the Anthology series was horrible and Gene Bunting died 2 different ways lmao. It was just all over the place for a series that realistically should've only taken less than 5 years to finish.
Overall one of the biggest disappointments as far as standalone comics go.
