NYCC:
DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES BAD BLOOD!
FROM
BRAM STOKER WINNER JONATHAN MABERRY
NEW YORK, NY—As
announced at New York Comic Con, Dark Horse is set to publish a new creator-owned
series from Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry (Ghost Road
Blues)—Bad Blood!
With art by the Eisner Award–winning Tyler Crook (B.P.R.D., The Sixth
Gun), this five-issue
miniseries promises a
vampire tale with an unlikely hero.
Being
bitten by a vampire pissed him off, but seeing his best friend brutally
slaughtered started a war. Trick Croft was an average college student—sort
of—until vampires attacked. Then he found out his blood was poison to the
bloodsuckers. And Trick will do anything to eradicate
them.
“Bad
Blood tells the story of Trick, a teenage slacker on the losing side of a
fight with cancer. When he’s attacked by a vampire, he figures it’s game over.
Except that the chemo drugs in Trick’s blood poison the vampire. As punishment,
the vampires begin slaughtering everyone Trick loves. So he goes hunting for the
vamps to try to destroy them,” writer Jonathan Maberry explains. “His only
superpower? The chemo drugs in his system are deadly to the undead. His only
ally? A heroin-addicted Goth chick. Bad Blood brings the pain in a
downbeat tale of heartbreak, loss, and courage.”
Bad
Blood #1 (of 5) is on sale January
1, 2014, in comic shops everywhere!
