Crimson Series by Brian Augustyn, Humberto Ramos

The fateful bite of a vampire turns the world of teenaged Alex Elder upside down in this tale of loyalty and loss. As he adjusts to the terrors of undead society, Alex searches for nobility in the gothic underground of New York City. And in the back of his mind, he wonders whether he will ever be able to enjoy a normal life again.

Teenage vampire Alex Elder returns in this second crimson collection. As he struggles to accept his vampiric fate, and vows never to kill a human being in his blood-thirst, Alex is caught up in a battle between the forces of vampirism and the beautiful but deadly Scarlet X, member of the Red Hood, a secret organization dedicated to wiping out supernatural beings.
