I, VAMPIRE arrives in Gotham City

The War of the Vampires is getting intense as Andrew Bennett and the Queen of Blood arrive in Gotham City in I,VAMPIRE.

Writer Joshua Hale Fialkov gives us the inside scoop on what’s been happening in the series and a hint at what’s to come.

"Up until now, we've been telling a story that's very insular, and the vampires have struck and run. Well, in issue 5 that ends. Now they come face to face with the Batman, and it's not going to end well for anyone. Plus, doesn't Batman have those friends who call themselves the Justice League Dark?"

Pick up I,VAMPIRE #5 this Wednesday! And get ready to get sucked in as the events of this two-part story lead to the I,VAMPIRE/JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK crossover in March!

Resurrection Man, find the answers he’s looking for about his past? Find out all of these and more when the below books hit shelves this October.
