Vatican City #2

I also appreciated the leadership role Guido has taken on. Watching him initiate a forced dialogue with the lead vampire was compelling a risky move that adds tension to the story. The question now is: how long can Guido keep up this gambit before it all falls apart? Read Full Review

Vatican City 2 successfully raises thestakes on this vampire thriller as the survivors fight back and actually place the vampires at a position where they no longer hold all the cards. It will be very interesting to see how Millar and Berg wrap this mini-series up although there certainly seems like there is a possibility for another volume upon the conclusion of this arc.

VATICAN CITY #2 paints a frightful picture of humanity's future if the vampires get their hands on a long-dead secret. Mark Millar's exposition-heavy issue is a solid read, especially for the sheer courage of the hero. That said, the big reveal is a tad predictable, and Per Berg's art is a mixed bag.

Plot The ruined planet and the other world powers fear that this wave of destruction that wiped out the United States will reach their borders, unaware of what is happening in the Vatican. The surviving Monsignor explains to Guido and the other survivors the importance of the Vatican Library, full of secrets and forgotten artifacts. However, Guido wants them to show him the alarms they have in place for a contingency, and that's when he discovers poisonous gas. The Monsignor reveals that the queen of the vampires is called GEL GORGE-EH, a demon who ruled humanity for 20,000 years, in a terrible darkness the Vatican called the Age of Nosferatu, which culminates when she is buried in St. Peter's Basilica. It is revealed that the pyr amids were built by vampires. Dr. Derrida, the world authority on archaeology, continues excavating and manages to find the sarcophagus of the Queen of the Vampires. However, they are attacked with poison gas and die. The vampires respond with a missile attack, and that's when Guido contacts the Vampire and asks for a plane and food for everyone in exchange for not destroying the sarcophagus. Guido is a pilot and wants to find a way to escape from this place, but he must have GEL GORGE-EH in his possession. Millar reimagines this chilling global setting where everyone's fate depends on the decisions of an explosive pilot and war veteran. Having covered up history caused it to repeat itself, he achieves a perfect balance between supernatural terror and conspiracy theories about the hidden secrets of one of the most powerful and long-standing religious organizations in human history. Art With a post-impressionist quality, Per Berg perfectly captures the terror of chaos, blending with the gloom of vampires through his asymmetrical and cartoonish lines. It's a challenging and daring art, very different from any other artist in the Millarworld editorial line, one you become more familiar and appreciate it more with each new reading. Summary Guido comes up with a way to gain a strategic advantage against this vampire attack: to kidnap what they most desire more

Does anyone else think this only exists because Millar hopes that Hollywood will turn it into a movie? As a comic it's pretty much indecipherable, thanks to some of the worst art I've seen in years.
