Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips are Back in the Saddle this September with That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch

Posted on June 22, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

Bestselling neo-noir Western That Texas Blood by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips will ride again in the upcoming That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch. This all-new, six-issue chapter in the beloved ongoing series will kick off in September from Image Comics.

This highly anticipated story arc will also feature exciting variant covers by Martin Simmonds, Luana Vecchio, Mark Chiarello, and more.

In That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch, Sheriff Joe Bob Coates and Deputy Wilson Hart are called to the Allison Ranch—the largest and richest ranch in the United States—where family grievances are blooming into full-blown war. This first issue will be loaded with bonus materials including behind the scenes peeks, newly conducted interviews, essays, and cartoons.

In celebration of this highly anticipated return to shelves, Image Comics will present a special Facsimile edition of the series’ debut issue printed on deluxe newsprint paper for the ultimate reading experience. Longtime fans and new readers alike can revisit the premiere that started it all and remains the perfect read for fans of Yellowstone.

Like Paris, Texas gut-punched by No Country for Old Men, That Texas Blood is a crime series that kicked off with the search for a casserole dish and led readers to a dark and tense confrontation on Sheriff Joe Bob Coates’ 70th birthday. The series is currently being developed by FX for a drama series from Jim Mickle (director, showrunner, and writer of Netflix’s Sweet Tooth) and E.L. Katz (co-executive producer and producing director on Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor).

The Enfield Gang Massacre, a sister series to That Texas Blood, is set 150 years in the past and features even more gunslinging action and dark frontier drama.

That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 23.
