Zoe Thorogood Traps a Reluctant Vampire in a Grocery Store for Image's Vampire on Aisle 6
Image Comics has unveiled Vampire on Aisle 6, a new three-issue miniseries from Zoe Thorogood and Joe Whiteford arriving December 23. The story follows Luka, who's convinced a bite from a mysterious stranger has turned him into a vampire, and has roughly ten hours until sunset to figure out what's happening to him - all while stuck inside a mascot-themed supermarket as the rest of his life falls apart around him.
Thorogood, the Russ Manning Award-winning creator behind The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott, is billing the project as a story about traumatic change and the isolation that follows, while Whiteford has described the tone as an anti-corporate, sexy take that swerves away from familiar vampire-fiction beats.
The book is shipping with an unusual companion piece: an eight-song album from Harley Poe meant to accompany the story. Cover options will include art from both creators alongside a blank sketch variant and an incentive edition for retailers.
