Harvey Awards Nomination!
I dont even know how to say how happy I am with all the recognization that American Vampire is getting. After being nominated for amazing awards, such as Eagles and Eisners, this week we got a nomination for Best New Series on the prestigious Harvey Awards.
Scott was also individually nominated as a Most Promising New Talent, which, no doubt, he deserves more than anyone I know.
Click here to see the complete list of nominations.
Congrats to all the friends who were nominated as well and good luck everybody!

American Vampire #16 is out!
Last wednesday, American Vampire #16, arrived to the comic stores in US and Canada. The book is written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by me (with the beautiful colors by Dave McCaig). This is part 4 of Ghost War arc, and if you didnt read it yet, definitely worth check it out!
Below some reviews of the book:
Ryan Lindsay – Comic Book Resources
"This is a masterpiece of how to use multiple times, characters, settings, and genres. If nothing else, based on the end of this issue you must be here next month to see what goes down. It's going to get nasty. Beautifully nasty."
Dean Stell – Weekly Comic Book Reviews
"Another outstanding issue of American Vampire. The creators are really starting to establish their own grading system because I'm really not comparing them to other comics anymore…..just to the excellence of last issue of AV. Buy it, read it… Grade: A"

Jordi Bernet in American Vampire!
The living legend, Jordi Bernet, will draw a short arc in American Vampire series (issues 19-21).
This is a big honor for me, since he is a huge influence in my work. I really can't wait to see his vision over our characters.
The story (written by Scott) will be called "The Beast in the Cave" and my first cover was already shown by Vertigo.
