Image Comics will publish Mark Millar’s Night Club, an all-new series that explores how normal teenagers would deal with becoming vampires.
Mark Millar is launching a brand-new series as part of his deal with Netflix that asks, “What would you do if you were a teenager and got bitten by a vampire?”
Titled Night Club and published by Image Comics, Millar answered the question in his newsletter by suggesting that “your last resort when you [can] climb walls, turn into bats or mist and move at super speed. Like me, I suspect you would mask up and become a superhero and probably bite a few of your friends so you could enjoy this together. The link has all the details of where this goes, but this is a goodie. It’s going to be massive so get in on it now.” He also told SYFY Wire that he has an artist in mind for the title, which will feature covers from the likes of Greg Capullo, Ben Templesmith and Ben Oliver.
“It’s such an obvious idea I’m amazed nobody has ever done it as superheroes and vampires have everything in common,” Millar said. “When I put this together as a potential TV franchise… we all really loved it and I couldn’t stop seeing the comic [version] of this. I always like to do at least one volume as a comic, too. Plus, the whole story is done and we have a pile of designs sitting here,” he says. “So this comic is going to be the first time anyone sees these characters when we launch in the New Year. Issue one of this is going to be their absolute first appearance.”
Elaborating on his earlier response, Millar explained, “I basically just thought about what I would have done if I’d been bitten by a vampire when I was in high school. I’d never have killed people in dark alleys. I’d have guzzled bags of blood in hospital storage unit and made some money as a superhero instead. That’s what these kids do. They just decide to help people, win every sports prize, take on their school bullies, make a little cash and have a good time. But of course the vampires who bit them have other ideas.”
Night Club #1, by Mark Millar, goes on sale in early 2022 from Image Comics.
