Continues to be such a strong series and though I love me some romantic vamps, I'm so happy that these are monsters.

Okay, most violent yet, not very story focused, even the art work was just okay.
On the look at for future editions, hoping wit will actually advance the story

Henry and Skinner. Pearl's defensive stance is to die for.

Wild Vampires in the jungles of Japan and domesticated "carpathian" vampires among the ranks of Nazis in Romania. I don't think I really need to say more. Fun book discussing evolution and cure for vampirism.

In the third American Vampire volume, the vampires enter World War II as Henry goes to Taipan and encounters a Japanese breed of vampire and Cash and Book go to Germany to find a cure for vampirism and instead encounter a brigade of Nazi vampires.
American Vampire 3 is more of the same greatness that I've come to expect from the American Vampire series. In the first story, Henry and company go to a Japanese island and go up against a breed of Japanese vampire with Skinner Sweet in their midst and it's up to Pearl to save her man. It's a great story and Snyder fleshes out his vampire mythology even more. Not only that, it plants the seeds for later stories. Snyder seems to be committed to American Vampire for the long haul, judging by the seeds sown.
The second story brings back the characters of Book and Cash from Volume 2 and sends them off to Germany. The brigade of vampire nazis reminded me of Robert McCammon's Wolf's Hour for some reason, probably the combination of World War II and supernatural creatures. I love that Snyder introduced yet another breed of vampire in this tale, possibly the progenitors of the species. It tied up some loose ends and also planted seeds for future tales, something that Snyder is proving adept at. He never closes a door without first opening a window.
American Vampire has proven itself to be one of the best comics going today and this volume is no exception. If you like your vampires brutal and bloody and not sparkly whiners, this is the series for you!

This expanded the universe, but still enriched it. Thrilling. Looked great, even with multiple artists. Actually liked other people's take on how it should look. Loved the WW2 setting, both Pacific and Europe.
