Crimson
DC/Wildstorm. Written by Brian Augustyn and Humberto Ramos; art by Humberto Ramos and Sandra Hope.
1
Loyalty and Loss (1-6). [From DC Comics: After
being bitten by a vampire, angst-ridden teen Alex Elder's entire world is
destroyed. Leaving his friends and family behind, he starts a new undead
life, discovering a secret society existing in the gothic undergrounds of
New York. Suffering from an unquenchable thirst for blood and unable to
emerge in sunlight, the teenage vampire finds himself thrust into a blood
feud that spans generations.] Old Book of the Week 11/2/05: Humberto Ramos spends his free time mixing high-concept fantasy with surprisingly sophisticated theology, first in Crimson and more recently in Out There. Crimson is a vampire story, but here the vampires play a complex and sophisticated role in a larger conflict between heaven and hell. Don't be fooled by the cute, manga-flavored art; despite frequent light moments, this is serious stuff. Seriously good stuff!
2
Heaven & Earth (7-12). [From DC Comics:
Coping with life as an undead being, Alex begins a journey to find Van Fleet.
He is the only one that can tell him the truth about Ekimus and Lisseth
and also reveal the legend of the chosen one. But as the cursed teenager
continues his painful existence, he soon learns that his life trials are
about to become more complicated as the archangels from Heaven and the master
knight St. George have joined the earthly battle.] 
3
Earth Angel (13-18). [From DC Comics: Third

by a vampire. In this installment, Alex befriends an amnesiac and mortal
angel named Zophiel who has fallen from the grace of God and been banished
to Earth. But before this friendship can truly blossom, Zophiel is kidnapped
by Tan, a delusional would-be messiah. Alex and his friend Joe quickly descend
beneath the sewers of New York to a secret city to save their new compatriot
