Vampires return to Horror

When writer and creator Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre) sets out to write a vampire tale, you know you will get the very best. If you are familiar with 30 Days of Night then you know that his vampires are blood thirsty and will rip you apart if you cross them. For his next project, Niles has team up with artist Menton3 (Monocyte, Proof: Endangered, Crawl to Me) to create a vampire comic that will bring vampires back to the horror genre. Working with Dark Horse comics, Niles' new vampiric tale will be entitled Nosferatu Wars and will be released later this year.

Synopsis:
The Black Plague was a time of death and misery ... except for the undead. For vampires the Black Death was a welcome relief from being hunted and a time of incredible growth for the undead. On the night of their wedding, two vampire lovers are torn apart and separated for five hundred years, setting off a sequence of events that will bring the modern world to its knees!

“I haven’t been this excited about working on something in a long time. Menton3 is the perfect artist, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be doing this at Dark Horse,” Niles said. “This year I’m making a big push to become 100 percent creator owned. Nosferatu Wars will be a big part of that, I hope.”

If you have been dreading the next bit of vampire news because of recent projects such as Twilight or The Vampire Diaries you can rest assured that vampires are in good hands with Niles.
