The battle intensifies in American Vampire #17 – 2011, the penultimate issue of the acclaimed “Ghost War” arc from visionary writer Scott Snyder and artist Rafael Albuquerque. As the blood-soaked clash between man and monster rages on a Pacific island far from home, this instalment raises the emotional and physical stakes in Vertigo’s genre-redefining series.

In issue #17, the fragile line between soldier and survivor begins to blur. Henry Preston, surrounded by horrors both supernatural and human, must make brutal decisions to protect what's left of his unit—and himself. Meanwhile, the truth about the vampire threat grows darker, revealing just how deeply entwined it is with the war effort and its hidden agendas. Across the sea, Pearl Jones faces consequences of her own, as alliances fracture and enemies close in.

Rafael Albuquerque’s atmospheric artwork brings Snyder’s intense narrative to life with gritty linework and stark contrasts, capturing the brutality of combat and the terror of the unknown in equal measure. This issue continues to explore the series’ central theme: what it means to be human in a world where monsters evolve just as quickly as we do.

Essential for fans following the series arc-by-arc or anyone who enjoys high-stakes horror with historical weight, American Vampire #17 delivers action, intrigue, and deeply personal storytelling at its finest.
