Top Cow Brings Back Impaler for a New Miniseries From William Harms and Christian DiBari

Top Cow is digging one of its cult horror franchises back out of the coffin. Impaler, the vampire series originally created by White Sky writer William Harms, is getting an all-new miniseries at Image Comics, with Harms returning to script and artist Christian DiBari stepping in to draw it. The book is set to launch in February 2027.

Impaler built its reputation on flipping vampire mythology around - instead of a lone hunter picking off bloodsuckers one at a time, the original run leaned into a world where the vampires had basically already won. The new miniseries pushes that premise further, with protagonist Vlad cast as essentially humanity's last line of defense in a world that's already been overrun and ravaged by vampires.

It's been a long stretch since Impaler had new material - the series has mostly sat dormant since its original Top Cow run - so this is a real comeback for one of the publisher's more underrated horror properties rather than just another victory-lap reprint. Expect solicitation details on covers, pricing, and issue count to roll out closer to the February release.
