That Texas Blood ridges again in June with a New Story Arc and Facsimile Edition of the Debut Issue

Bestselling Neo-noir Western That Texas Blood by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips will ride again. That Texas Blood #21 will kick off an all-new story arc from Image Comics this June. This new story arc will also feature exciting variant covers by Martin Simmonds, Luana Vecchio, and more. 

In That Texas Blood #21, 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.

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. 

Available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 3.

Writer James Tynion IV is teaming up with co-writer Marguerite Bennett, rising star artist Letizia Cadonici, colorist Jordie Bellaire, high-flying letterer Tom Napolitano, designer Dylan Todd, and editor Steve Foxe for an all-new horror tale in the upcoming Odin. This nine-issue miniseries promises to go light on the honeyed mead, but will tip a heavy pour of Nordic nightmare fuel when it hits shelves in May from Image Comics and Tiny Onion.

Odin will be stunningly presented with covers by celebrated comic and album artist Alex Eckman-Lawn, who is illustrating the main Cover A for the full series. For the debut issue, Cadonici illustrated Cover B with additional variants by lauded artists Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, and Jae Lee.

She will do anything for the perfect story, including heading into the frozen forests of Norway with Neo Nazi punks who seek Odin to achieve their promised white supremacist destiny. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless hallucinogenic thriller that leaves absolutely no taboo unbroken.
