4 stars because Survival of the Fittest was a banger. Skinner continues to remain kind of a loser antagonist, though. He’s not very interesting, but even worse, he’s not very scary.

I love this series, however I was not that happy that Rafael Albequre (sp?) had not done most of the artwork for this set of novels. I loved the way that the characters were portrayed, and the death of Skinner Sweet (though, since the series is focused on him and there are at least 3 more books it is hard to believe he has really been killed) was an interesting story. I just felt that they had started to add too many characters and story lines. I kept wanted to find out what was happening with Pearl and Sweet,the Book family. I will still read this series, I am just hoping they start melding the stories back together. Also I hope they find guest artists who have similar style (it is jarring to change artwork half way through a book).

It took me a little while to get into this one, but once I did it really sucked me in. The Skinner Sweet half was much more interesting than the Agt. Book half, but overall this is still the best volume so far.

I never thought I would enjoy a vampire series this much, but Snyder (currently writing Batman and Swamp Thing) is doing some amazing work in all of his stuff right now.

This volume takes place during the 1940s. The first half takes place in the Pacific theater, and revolves around Pearl and Henry, whereas the second half focuses on Felicia and the Vassals. Both are great. Albuquerque's style is perfect for the omninous, moody, and violent story, and Sean Murphy's classic line art (reminiscent to me of Dick Tracey) along with noir coloring was dead on (pun intended) as well.

5 stars for the amazing story on the Pacific island, the best mix of horror and war I've read so far, superb colors and atmosphere, I couldn't stop reading.
