Scott Snyder on ‘American Vampire’s’ Second Cycle (Exclusive Art)

This Wednesday sees the launch of American Vampire: Second Cycle, the long-awaited return of DC Entertainment/ Vertigo’s critically-acclaimed horror series from Batman and The Wake writer Scott Snyder and artist Rafael Albuquerque. In terms of story, the new series picks up a decade after the end of the first American Vampire series, which ended its 34-issue run last year, with Skinner and Pearl both coming to terms with life in the mid-1960s.

One final link/shilling of my own stuff, again from last week: Me talking to Scott Snyder about the return of American Vampire, which I link here mostly for the chance to say how fun it was to chat to Snyder again after such a long time – I originally talked to him when he was launching the series the first time around, so this was a welcome return.

I have no idea why I’m suddenly linking work from the last week; I suspect it’s a decompression tool after a burst of productivity today, when I wrote 3,500+ words for Time, THR and Wired. It’s been a little brain-fry-y, as I’m sure you can imagine.
