Image Comics announced its latest horror comic, Blood Train, will arrive in stores in January 2025 from the creative team of Adam Glass and Bernard Chang.
28 Days Later meets The Ruins in Blood Train, a high-stakes standalone horror story. After backpacking through Asia, a group of friends climb aboard the Siberian Express to start their journey home. Little do they know, they’ve bought a one-way ticket to hell, as one of them has been infected with a bioweapon that will turn them into a monster who will slaughter everyone on the train. And the bioweapon will start World War Three if it reaches its destination in Europe. Now, these friends must make a difficult choice: kill someone they love to save the world or die trying.
“As I grow older, much of my writing is inspired by my fears, not just for myself but for the well-being of my children,” said Glass. “Many of the experiences I cherished as a young adult have become increasingly challenging for Gen Z. When our college-aged kids excitedly announced their plans to backpack through Europe by train just as the war in Ukraine was unfolding, I was filled with concern. As I dwelled on the potential risks, the recent lockdown due to COVID-19, and my growing unease, the idea for Blood Train took shape. From the moment I conceived the story, I knew I wanted to collaborate with one of my favorite artists, Bernard Chang. Bernard, a remarkable artist, and a passionate world traveler, immediately embraced the project. We poured our hearts into this creation together and hope you will find it as thrilling as we did in bringing it to life.”
Blood Train #1 arrives on January 29, 2025.
