Wow! This is my favorite volume of the series so far! 
 The story of the American vampire progresses from 1919 and into WWII -- including both the Pacific and European arenas of the war. The first half of the volume features Rafael Albuquerque's gorgeous "GhostWar" set in Hawaii and Taipan. His art is stunning, and the story adds an interesting layer to the evolution of vampire species and the saga of Skinner Sweet. The second half of the book is Sean Murphy's "Survival of the Fittest" set in Nazi Germany which introduces additional vampire lore and shows off Felicia Book's wardrobe. 
 So often I find graphic novels and mainstream comics fall flat in the art department or follow confusing storylines. American Vampire is visually so compelling and beautiful that I would forgive it some plot issues. However, this progression through the decades of American history -- while featuring generations of characters -- still moves forward logically and maintains the energy level in each issue. Love!
