Mark Millar and Juanan Ramirez are teaming for Night Club, a new vampire series that kicks off in December at Image Comics.
In Night Club, a group of unsuspecting 17-year-olds is bitten by a vampire and suddenly imbued with superheroic powers. The story unfolds as it asks: Now what? Do you live in the shadows and drink human blood? Or do you use your newfound abilities to become the costumed vigilante you’ve always dreamed of instead? You’re bulletproof, you can crawl up walls, and you can turn to mist, bats, or even a wolf. Why not have a little fun?
“It’s funny. I haven’t launched a new superhero comic out there in about ten years, despite superhero comics being what I’m best known for with things like Civil War, Red Son, Old Man Logan, etc,” said Millar in a press release from Image Comics. “But I wanted to wait until I had a genuinely fresh take because I love these things and it had to be something really different and I wanted an artist whose work just jumped off the page. We’re also trying an experiment to see if a full-size 24-page comic book can work at $1.99 every month. We think readers are going to LOVE this package.”
In case you didn’t see that last bit, each issue in the series will feature a $1.99 cover price. I hope it does work!
Night Club #1 arrives on December 14, 2022.
