SERIES COMING SOON TO “V-Wars is the dirty red transfusion the anemic vampire genre desperately needs.” Joe Hill, author of Locke & Key and NOS4A2 “V-Wars. Relevant, timely, impactful, and gut wrenching. A visual and literary metaphor for the present and perhaps our future. Jump in but be careful, I did and I love it.” –Ian Somerhalder, star of The Vampire Diaries and V-Wars (Netflix) “Breathtaking story. A stunning arc. High thinking, high stakes. There is a thread, woven within these gorgeous images, that builds and builds until you’re ready to take part in the war yourself. Maberry juggles complexity of character with fluid action like nobody else.” — Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box “Turning his prestigious talents to writing comics, novelist Jonathan Maberry has created a new vampire mythology well worth checking out.” — Marv Wolfman, writer of Tomb of Dracula, and co-creator of Blade the Vampire Slayer Facebook: facebook.com/idwpublishing Twitter: @idwpublishing YouTube: youtube.com/idwpublishing Tumblr: tumblr.idwpublishing.com Instagram: instagram.com/idwpublishing ISBN: 978-1-68405-536-4 22 21 20 19 1 2 3 4 COVER ART BY V-WARS: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL COLLECTION.

I mean, if meditation involved getting punched in the neck over and over.” — Tyler Crook, Russ Manning Award-winning artist for Harrow County, B.P.R.D. and Witchfinder “A dynamic new spin on the ancient legends of vampires!” — Dacre Stoker, co-author of Dracul, and grandnephew of Bram Stoker “The scope of V-Wars is breathtaking. Maberry throws the reader into a world of vampiric nightmare—made all the more terrifying because it all seems so big, sweeping, and real.” — Cullen Bunn, Writer, Bone Parish, Harrow County WrItTeN bY JoNaThAn MaBeRrY RaP LyRiCs bY SaM WeSt-MeNsCh ArT bY AlAn RoBiNsOn aNd MaRcO TuRiNi CoLoRs bY JaY FoToS LeTtErS bY RoBbIe RoBbInS, ToM B.
