Set one year after the death of Dracula, hope is returning to the lands of Transylvania, and a young peasant girl named Aurelia dares to dream of a better future, free from the yoke of the devil’s hundred years of darkness. But when a mysterious Healer drifts into town, seeking to cure land and people alike, a terrifying new evil stirs across the blasted lands and it seems that the lord of the undead is not through yet…or could it be an even greater evil? Dive into this titanic and darkly fantastical reimagining / sequel of Bram Stoker’s sanguine classic.

BLACK MASS RISING

THE FORGOTTEN BLADE

by Tze Chun and Toni Fejzula • Print MSRP: $19.99 U.S. / $25.99 CAN • Release Date: March 15th

In the land of the Five Rivers, the magical waters that flow from the Citadel grant incredible powers to the people who know to use them. Power that the Church of the Citadel guards jealously and with an iron fist. Years after Ruza the Unwashed, the world’s greatest warrior and wielder of the mystical Forgotten Blade, destroyed the last chance for the people to overthrow the Church’s cruel tyranny, he is recruited by a schoolteacher to save the souls of her two children cursed by inquisitors for no crime at all. To do that, they must do what no one has ever done — infiltrate the Citadel, discover the source of the Five Rivers, and vanquish the most powerful adversary of all: the malevolent god who created this world in the first place.

Black Caravan and Scout Unleashes the Swamp Dogs

Black Caravan, the horror imprint of Scout Comics, has finally unleashed the Swamp Dogs on the world– and the world will never be the same again. The mystery campaign is over, and the cover of Swamp Dogs: House of Crows #1, by Robert Sammelin, has been revealed.

Swamp Dogs: House of Crows will jumpstart the Swamp Dogs universe. A 5 issue miniseries, it will introduce readers to the titular villains and the world which they are seeking to create. The book is a modern take that blends grindhouse, 70s and 80s horror, stoner comedies, cult classics, and midnight movies into one wild ride. The mini is a tight, funny, sexy, gory, horrific standalone story that is planned to lead into other ongoing titles, miniseries, and one-shots. It follows a budding lesbian couple and The Grunch, a goofy and fun-loving metal band, as they unwittingly stumble upon the SWAMP DOGS and their HOUSE OF CROWS.

Swamp Dogs: House of Crows Ashcan preview is now available. The first issue will be released in October 2021. Variants and exclusive covers, including by heavy metal artist Solo Macello, interior artist Kewber Baal, and Steve Wands’ (who also letters the series) first comic book cover, will be unveiled at a later date. Coloring the book is comic veteran Ruth Redmond. J.M. Brandt and Theo Prasidis will be co-writing the comic.
