DC has compiled The Wake into a single collection, available in both paperback and hardcover.

The first half has Snyder and Murphy diving into claustrophobic horror while its second half goes big and bold with hard post-apocalyptic science fiction. One of the more striking things about The Wake is how tonally distinctive its two halves are, with the story divided into two clear acts that feel like individual stories in their own right. And with the miniseries, it was clear that Snyder was playing it safe with playing toward reader expectations of genre and tone. The story ran for ten issues, recounting a forgotten race of underwater monsters emerging from the abyss and twisting human civilization on its head. American Vampire has since been collected in a line of hardcovers and trade paperbacks for readers looking to experience the ongoing saga of Skinner Sweet in all its bloody glory.Īfter previously working with comic creator Sean Gordon Murphy on the American Vampire spinoff miniseries American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest in 2011, Snyder reunited with Murphy for the 2013 Vertigo Comics miniseries The Wake. American Vampire concluded its overarching story in 2021 with the continuation series American Vampire 1976, published under DC’s new mature reader-oriented imprint DC Black Label. The series follows Wild West outlaw Skinner Sweet rising as a vampire before stumbling across a plot from an ancient vampire coven to plunge the world into eternal darkness, battling the monsters into the 20th century.Īn enormous critical success, American Vampire earned the 2011 Eisner Award for Best New Series and led to a line of spinoff miniseries, anthologies, and two continuation series to its main narrative. Co-created with artist Rafael Albuquerque, American Vampire launched in March 2010, with Snyder’s friend Stephen King co-writing the backup stories for the opening story arc. This listing also includes Snyder’s work published through Vertigo Comics which, while not completely creator-owned with its properties, offers a degree of ownership for its respective creative teams.Īfter writing several prose short stories and doing some work with Marvel Comics, Scott Snyder officially made his DC with the Vertigo Comics series American Vampire.
