American Vampire Day

American Vampire has arrived to the stores today, and there are some good reviews arround!

“Albuquerque could tell this story by himself — or at least the parts that the captions try to clear up — and his work on this issue is amazing. That’s right. Amazing. If you think you’ve seen his style on Blue Beetle or Superman/Batman, well, you have, but it’s not his only style. And in American Vampire #1 he uses two different approaches to tell two different kinds of stories. And both visual styles look, well, as I said, amazing.”

-Timothy Callahan (Comic Book Resources)

“Even if you’re not interested in an alternate history of the US as populated by a new breed of bloodsucker, you owe it to your eyeballs to pick it up for the artwork of Rafael Albuquerque alone. Really, a spectacular-looking book.”

-Graeme McMillan - Io9

“After reading the first issue we can say that the resulting comic here is something far more than the sum of those familiar parts, and beautiful besides, thanks to the spectacular art of Albuquerque.”

-Laura Hudson - Comic Alliance

“Albuquerque’s art is phenomenal, and to his credit he and colorist Dave McCaig are able to adjust to the time period of both stories. t’s a remarkable book to behold in terms of artistic ability, and a prime example of what is possible when every member of the creative team comes together to create a unified vision of their story.”

-Joey Esposito - Crave

“It’s good to know that American Vampire will take its unique character and skip him across many different decades; the story possibilities are abundant. Add Rafael Albuquerque’s excellent art, which mixes shadowy action with bright sunlight and sketchy characters, and you’ve got one promising new series.
