Currently Reading: American Vampire and Trinity

The library has been a great resource because I have been able to read so many comic books from my wishlist and also comics that are hard to find.



Book: American Vampire volume #1 (issues #1-5) by Scott Snyder and Stephen King with Illustration by Rafael Albuquerque with color by Dave McCaig

Description:

A New Vampire For A New Century.

Cunning, ruthless, and rattlesnake mean, Skinner Sweet has a reputation for cussedness as long as he is ornery. As the first vampire conceived on American soil,  however, he's not your usual creature of the night. Stronger, fiercer and powered by the sun, Sweet is the first of a new breed of bloodsucker: the American Vampire.

Forty-five years after rising from his grave, Sweet finds himself in 1920s Los Angeles, where the young and beautiful are drawn like moths to the burning lights of Hollywood. Something beyond simple human greed is at work here, however, as struggling young actress Pearl Jones is about to discover. When her movie-star dreams are transformed into a bloody nightmare, Sweet provides her only chance for survival as well as the power to take revenge.




Book: Trinity: Batman * Superman * Wonder Woman (issues #1-3) written and illustrated by Matt Wagner with color by Dave Stewart and letter by Sean Konot

Description:

For the first time ever, the tale of the Dark Knight and Man of Steel's first meeting with the Amazon Princess is told!

Billionaire eco-terrorist Ra's al Ghul is on a mad quest to remake the world in his own image. With the juggernaut clone of Superman known as Bizarro and a deadly rogue Amazon by his side, this troika of terror casts an ominous shadow over the very future of mankind!

Witness the birth of a legendary alliance, as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman join forces to defend Earth against an apocalyptic fate!

TRINITY is an awe-inspiring glimpse into the formative years of three true legends.
