Preview Monday: CATWOMAN #13 and AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #5

For this week’s installment of Preview Monday, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at CATWOMAN #13 and AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #5.

 

It’s a game of chess (literally!) and Gotham is the playing board in this prologue to “Death of the Family” in CATWOMAN #13. Selina Kyle is hired to steal a giant chess piece and move its position. But the sacrifice this Queen of Crime needs to make may be too high. Who’s behind all this and how does he know so much about Selina’s past? Written by Ann Nocenti and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona, CATWOMAN #13 lands in stores on Wednesday. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.

It’s the explosive conclusion to AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES! Felicia and Hobbes have finally caught up to Dracula’s coffin in the middle of the Black Sea, but now here comes the hard part – actually destroying it. Left to confront Dracula alone, will Hobbes have the strength to kill the uber-vampire without being killed himself? AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #5, in stores on Wednesday, comes to you from writer Scott Snyder and artist Dustin Nguyen. Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.

PREVIEW MONDAYS: THE RAVAGERS #2 and AMERICAN VAMPIRE LORD OF NIGHTMARES #1

For this week’s installment of Preview Mondays, we’re give you exclusive first looks at THE RAVAGERS #2 and AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #1!

 

A couple of weeks ago we launched THE RAVAGERS. Part of the “Second Wave” of DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, this new ongoing monthly series spun directly out of “The Culling” crossover event between TEEN TITANS, TEEN TITANS ANNUAL, LEGION LOST and SUPERBOY. In issue #2, Fairchild, Ridge, Thunder and Lightning attempt to escape from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and its agents in the “real world.” But when one of them gets held hostage, it’ll test the strength and loyalty of them all. THE RAVAGERS #2 comes to you from the creative team of Howard Mackie, Tom Defalco, Ian Churchill and Norm Rapmund. Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.

 

In the new miniseries AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES, we return to postwar Europe where the world’s most dangerous vampire has just been released from a coffin deep below the London Tower Bridge. Can Hobbes, an agent from the vampire-hunting agency known as The Vassals of the Morning Star, coax Agent Felicia Book out of exile to help hunt down the escaped bloodsucker? Who is this vampire and why is he so powerful? AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES #1 is written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen. Click here to see a preview of the issue.

 

 

AMERICAN VAMPIRE celebrates summer blockbuster story “The Blacklist” with five variant covers.

This one changes everything.
 
I know you hear that all the time in comics, but we REALLY mean it this time. This summer’s blockbuster AMERICAN VAMPIRE storyline is called “The Blacklist,” and the whole gang returns to the place where it all started—Hollywood. But this time it’s the 50’s, so instead of flappers and silent films, tinsel-town is drenched in the fear and paranoia of the Communist “Red Scare.”
 
Massive turning point. Game-changer. Point of no return…call it what you want, but this one really does change everything.
 
And because this is such a massive story, we’ve decided to celebrate with not one but FIVE variant covers! Some of the biggest, best names in comics, paying tribute to the various decades, characters and locations we’ve covered in AV so far…
 
Starting this June with AMERICAN VAMPIRE 28 we have our first variant cover by Scott Snyder’s partner-in-crime over on BATMAN—Greg Capullo! Greg kicks it off with this bad-ass portrait of everybody’s favorite greaser vampire-killer Travis Kidd!
 


After Greg we have killer covers coming from DAVE JOHNSON, JOCK, FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA and DUSTIN NGUYEN! Come back here each month for more cover reveals.
 
Speaking of Dustin, don’t forget to check out our awesome new mini-series also starting this June—AMERICAN VAMPIRE: LORD OF NIGHTMARES. Written by Scott Snyder with sensational art by Dustin, this mini is a great jumping-on point for new readers, and also deepens the mythology for long-time fans.
 
So it’s another big, fang-filled summer from AMERICAN VAMPIRE and remember—this one changes everything!

Announcing AMERICAN VAMPIRE: Lord of Nightmares

Hot on the heels of last summer’s award winning mini-series AMERICAN VAMPIRE: Survival of the Fittest with art by Sean Murphy (now collected in AMERICAN VAMPIRE Vol. 3), Vertigo will publish AMERICAN VAMPIRE: Lord of Nightmares a new 5 issue miniseries written by AMERICAN VAMPIRE creator Scott Snyder, with art by Dustin Nguyen (Batman: Streets of Gotham, Detective Comics, Superman/Batman).

 

This June, New York Times bestselling author, Scott Snyder returns to postwar Europe and the vampire hunting agency known as The Vassals of the Morning Star. At the core of the story is agent Felicia Book. Felicia has had a dark life, filled with tragedy, but she has finally found peace, raising her adoptive son Gus in Paris. But when Agent Hobbes of The Vassals return to request her help tracking the most powerful vampire of all time, she soon learns nothing can prepare her for the threat inside The Coffin…

 

“These miniseries are the place where we get to reveal the biggest secrets about the mythology, history, and the evolution of our vampires. I’m excited to return to some of my favorite characters, Felicia, Gus, Hobbes, all of whom have lived their lives fighting a war against vampires who live in the shadows,” said Snyder. “It’s a world where we get to tell their stories in a way where we explore their dreams and their demons and pit them against the biggest scariest vampires you’ll ever see in series with tons of blockbuster action.”


AMERICAN VAMPIRE: Lord of Nightmares is a great companion to the regular series, or a jumping on point for new readers. Head over to MAXIM for the first look at the cover!
