With a really fun miniseries last year with Vampironica which had a crossover miniseries this year with Jughead: The Hunger / Vampironica, Archie Horror is coming back with a new sequel series. Vampironica: New Blood is a five-issue run written by Frank Tieri (JUGHEAD: THE HUNGER) and Michael Moreci (Roche Limit, Burning Fields) with art by Archie Comics veteran Audrey Mok (ARCHIE, JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS).
Set for a December 4th, 2019 debut, the imprint has now released the main cover to the right and several variants you can see below.
“JUGHEAD THE HUNGER VS. VAMPIRONICA #5 really changes everything,” Tieri said. “How does she deal with this shocking revelation now that she’s back in her own reality? And what other Lodge family secrets has she been kept from? It all comes to a head in our first arc as what she uncovers may lead to nothing short of an all-out full-fledged vampire war. So yeah, I guess everyone can see we have some big plans for this book . . . plans that’ll change Vampironica’s world forever.”
“Our approach to continuing Veronica’s vampire tale is to really ground both her character and the story itself,” Moreci said. “Essentially, this is a coming-of-age story we’re telling, with some cool twists and turns and a whole bunch of bloody horror for readers to — pun fully intended — sink their teeth into.”
Mok added, “I feel lucky and honoured to be working with Archie Comics again! Working on a horror title is unlike my previous work for Archie; it is an opportunity to bring a different tone and approach on the art. I am also very excited to be working with Frank and Michael, with their incredible writing. I cannot wait to know where they take us as we follow Vampironica’s journey to discover more about herself and explore the vampire world.”
