American Vampire, Vol. 6 by Scott Snyder
4.0
This volume is more or less just a grab bag of short stories. Nothing new in the main story arc of the series as a whole. They were all great stories, I just was hoping for a continuation of the main story arc.
First off we get a new Travis Kidd adventure. I think out of all the characters I've meet, Travis is my favorite character of the series. I would read an entire spin off series just about him. So good. His story is The Long Road to Hell. Its a really tragic love story actually. I won't get into details but, even though it was only a short story, all the characters were so multi dimensional. There are several panels toward the end with no dialogue at all and there are so poignant. Great story telling. WE also meet a little kid named Jasper. What's the deal with him? He's still a bit of a mystery. He either has some kind of inherent profiling ability or maybe there is something supernatural at play? I wish I could have spent some more time with him to fins out more about him. Maybe he will pop up later on...?
Speaking of Travis Kidd, there is this short story called Canadian Vampire. The Indian child started calling himself "Kid" to honor Warnhammer after he called him that and saved his life. Maybe he was a distant relation to Travis Kidd?
Hattie Hargrove's story was actually really sympathetic to her as a woman. It showed how the tragedies of her life shaped her into the insane super villain she becomes. Its really a revenge story and she totally deserved her just desserts. :)
I'm onto volume 7. Hoping to get back to the main story.
