Posted on by Leave a comment

Crashing into comic shops this July from IDW Dark, Operation: Iron Coffin #1 (of 3) features 40 pages of non-stop action and emotion for only $4.99. Crafted by writer Kenny Porter and artist Tyrell Cannon, fans can feast their eyes on an early look at the opening sequence below!

The recently resurrected Dracula, one of the world’s greatest monsters and most infamous vampires, is hell-bent on redemption. The mission he takes to make that redemption possible? Teaming up with British Allied forces during World War II. They’ll air-drop him onto a Nazi train containing a horde of soldiers, augmented villains, and a vampire plague that, if released, will create a new generation of vampire terrors. Dracula will have to battle his way through the train, confronting his past sins and facing off against the wicked Hazel and Ivy, who are calling the shots for the Nazis…and who have a vested interest in Dracula’s failures.

The debut issue features variants by Juan Ferreyra, Serena Mercardo, and a connecting cover set by Edison Neo. Pre-orders are due this Monday, June 1.
