Vault announces Corin Howll’s Lilith: Blood & Burlesque

Posted on by

Vault has announced the return of Corin Howell’s smash-hit sapphic horror series, Lilith, with Lilith: Blood & Burlesque. The brand new comic book series will see Howell joined by colorist Warnia Sahadewa and letterer Haley Rose-Lyon to bring back the beloved characters Lilith and Penny as they continue their journey to bring Lilith home.

The character Lilith, created by Howell, began as a genuine social media phenomenon. Howell’s Lilith illustrations have garnered millions of likes on Howell’s social platforms, making Lilith one of the most popular original illustrated characters on social media. Then in 2024, Howell & Vault partnered to publish a Lilith comic book series that became an immediate critical darling and commercial hit with multiple sell outs and new printings.

Lilith is an immortal who’s been banished from her home, a dimensional plane suspiciously similar to mankind’s idea of hell. She’s been posing as a model on Earth while secretly preying on humans. That is, until she runs into Penelope, a sweet bookstore owner with a tome that might hold the secret to returning Lilith to her home dimension.

Lilith: Blood & Burlesque #1 will hit comic book store shelves everywhere this October. The debut issue will feature a phenomenal line of variant covers by some of the most beloved artists in the world, including Mirka Andolfo, Suspiria, Luana Vecchio, Chloe, Garth Graham, and more.

Everyone’s favorite man-eating demon is back! Penny’s bookstore is still a mess after the monster attack. Much to Lilith’s dismay, Michael proposes a great idea: Why not make a sexy calendar to raise funds to pay for the shop repairs? Meanwhile, Lilith and Penny start making good progress on translating the book that could help Lilith get back home. But what will Penelope think if she learns Lilith’s true motive—and true nature? Seems like Lilith is bound to find out when a sinister and sexy pair from her past emerges at a burlesque show.

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

Posted on by

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.
