American Vampire - 7

Here are some more pics from the comic series American Vampire. This series is illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque. The story overall is written by the talented Scott Snyder. However, the first five issues were co-written by none other than steven king himself.

this series is really well written. But, it can be a little hard to get into for the kind of people who have never read any type of comic books or graphic novels before. the story takes place in multiple timelines. as it is mainly based on the story of vampires, the title says it all, and people with little knowledge bout vampires would know that vampires are immortal. that is why even though the story takes place across different timelines, some of the central characters remain to be the same.

here we can see that a plane is taking off and at the background, we can see that the sun is just rising from or it is just going down. if it is rising, then we can say that all the vampires will be going into hiding. there might be some vampires inside the plane that is taking off itself.if the sun is setting right now, then we can say that the vampires will be coming out of their hiding spots.

here we can see a boat. the boat is painted very vividly. from the front side painting of the boat, we can assume that the painting of the boat resembles the outlook of a shark. with these bits of information, we can pretty safely say that the people inside the boat are all soldiers and it is war time and the soldiers are going to fight.

the implications of the previous picture seemed to be correct as we can see a couple of soldiers with guns walking along a forest or a bushy places. from the title of this story, we can assume that one of these soldiers or maybe both of them are vampires. but, we can see sunlight in the background and the story is written by Stephen King and Scott Snyder. so, the vampires are not going to shine in sunlight rather they will burn to death. so we can say that one or both of them are not yet vampires but they soon will be turned out and they will become vampires.

here we can see that soldiers are looking at a single direction that is far from them. it seems like that there is some kind of explosion and there is also a village between the soldiers and the place of the explosion.

int his last picture, we can see that the soldiers that are still able to walk and move are carrying the wounded soldiers that possibly cannot walk without the support of others. all of them are going towards a large mansion. this large mansion seems to have an eerie presence in this scene. there seems to be lightning behind the mansion. lightning is never a good sign in stories like these, specially horror stories.
