  • Full Comic Story and Review/Recap for American Vampire 1976. It’s 1976, and this is the concluding chapter of the Eisner Award-winning American Vampire! The series that launched the careers of superstars Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque returns for the closing chapter of the legacy of American Vampire.
    America is broken. Trust between the government and the American public has crumbled. Paranoia reigns supreme.
    Skinner Sweet has exhausted all efforts to regain his lost immortality. With his powers and purpose gone, he is now determined to go out with a bang. At a seedy motorcycle rally in the desert where he’s closer than ever to his death wish, Pearl Jones and a shocking partner track him down for one last, desperate mission. The force known as the Gray Trader and its minions are tunneling through the bowels of the world to unleash hell on Earth--just in time for America’s bicentennial. With catastrophe looming, it’s up to Skinner and Pearl to reconcile and change the course of history--or die trying.

    Hell yeah! It’s about time we wrapped up this beautiful story, thank you so much for putting the effort that you did into bringing it to life. I’ve been watching your channel since before you even covered The Boys, and the amount of growth and improvement in just your voice acting alone has been remarkable. I don’t think it’s fair to say proud, but I’m definitely stoked to see you where you are today! Love it, Danny!
    Edit: and if you feel like your channel isn’t growing fast enough (I know you’ve voiced concerns in a few videos that you aren’t getting enough internet traffic to keep this up), just remember what everyone says, “The one thing it takes is time, and you can never know how many years it will take before your channel starts to blow up.” I’d definitely look at doing collaborations with other UA-camrs, doing ‘let’s play’-s of comic-book video games, or even vlogging trips to conventions. There’s really a lot of ideas you can still incorporate into your channel for more views!

    With all these giant monsters and kaiju fights it just makes you forget this was a series about vampires at some point. I always thought of Skinner as a scumbag and even though he is a good character in the 1976 run I just can't see him as a redeemed character, he inflicted a lot of pain and anguish to people who didn't deserve it and it didn't feel as he was doing the good thing for the right reasons, not that doing the good thing is a good plot that should always be enforced in every story but in my opinion Skinner was not it, I was hoping Pearl or Gus had a bigger part in this instead of Skinner.
    Anyways, good work Danny! Love your series, even though I was not a big fan of the recent American Vampires story, you always make it worth the ride for the narration.

    • @dannymalt
      @dannymalt  3 роки тому +7

      I agree with your take. They hyped Gus up a bit this volume, and he really didn’t do anything, kind of humorous how little he mattered in the end.

    • @ABlackEnderman
      @ABlackEnderman 2 роки тому +3

      Seriously and the weird like immediate romance of Pearl and Skinner completely undermines the fact that for more than half of this series she loved Henry. And here she is sucking the face of the man who tried to kill the love of her life multiple times, oh and also that Pearl cheated on Henry with Skinner while Henry was literally on his death bed. Am I supposed to like either of them?

    just finished the series. snyder took a break for so long that he didnt recognize the characters he made anymore, most especially pearl. some of her dialogue and her facial reactions just didnt feel like it was her. her role’s so small in this as well, and her conflict-less relationship with skinner was not natural. i always thought one of them will die by the other’s hands, so they’d have a dramatic final battle to the death on the beach under the moon or something like that, but the ending was bonkers. it went all looney toons! howd we go from pearl jones vs hattie hargrove to that final battle is ridiculous. travula fell flat. travis kidd wouldnt have done that. jim book reveal from issue 34 was great tho!! but i dunno. scott just knew he needed to finish the series so he did, but as a whole it felt rushed and shock value-centric that many details didnt add up.

    • @ABlackEnderman
      @ABlackEnderman 2 роки тому +1

      I actually think the James Book twist was worse of all. It completely neutered his painful and dramatic wish for death out of the hatred of being a vampire. Then you're telling me decades later she decides to besmirch the final wish of her true love because she was lonely? More like Because Snyder needed a twist

    was a great series but you are very right about the final chapter! i’m always curious when stories evolve like this, if the writer planned that direction from the start. the ending really reminds me of how ‘promised neverland’ increasingly got larger than the original themes, disconnecting the audience from central characters. would still highly recommend the book.

  • @6ftTiny
    @6ftTiny 2 роки тому +1

    Snyder, sadly, seems to have two modes of writing.
    When he is working small-scale, he is a pro. Everything is not too thick with info, it's focused, neat, and leaves few questions open - if any - but there is still little space left for you to fill things in yourself, or for a potential continuation. Everything is great.
    When he is writing large-scale, though, he immediatley starts believing himself to be far smarter than he is. Not calling the man dumb by any chance - he just seems to stretch himself thin and his ambition outreaches his capabilities.
    That is when we move move to Asspullvile, with Snyder as mayor. Suddenly things are either far more predictable than one would expect of a supposed master writer (and again, not saying he isn't one, just not always), or he tries to pull the rug out from under the readers' feet waay to often for the sake of it. And then everything becomes sort of meh.
    Case in point, along with this story - the Batman Endgame run. It was complete nonsense from start to finish. From Batman having his classic 'contingencies againt the JL, especially Superman', which, in this case, included MINIATURISED RED SUNS WORN AS KNUCKLES BY HIS ROBO-BAT SUIT TO FIGHT SUPERMAN (not sure, but I am sort of convinced their mere presence in close proximity to one-another should have melted the planet), as well as kryptonite mouthwash, which he spat into jokerised Superman's face (cuz he knew he'd get killed up close in personal, huh, he's that good of a detective, I am sure), to the whole 'Joker is many Jokers, or is he immortal - guess we'll never know'...
    Then again, this just might be the result of any story going on for too long - at some point the writers just start reaching for shit and semi-loosely tacking it together with older concepts. Personally, I think the series should have ended with either Ghost war, or Blacklist, AT THE LATEST. :/
