VAULT announces WEST OF SUNDOWN will be an ongoing series

Vault Comics announced today that West of Sundown has been expanded into an ongoing series after readership has grown significantly. To celebrate, the second arc will launch with a terrifying variant cover from Jenny Frison.

The series is co-written by Tim Seeley and Aaron Campbell, drawn by Jim Terry, colored by Triona Farrell, and lettered by Crank!.

Read details here:

“West of Sundown is a western tale of survival starring a cast of literary horrors that center around a beautiful vampire must flee monster slayers in New York City and reclaim the ancestral soil that restores her undead flesh. But the world has changed since she was reborn in the New Mexico desert, and now Constance der Abend and her loyal assistant Dooley must adapt to life in the rough frontier town of Sangre de Moro, where all sorts of monsters have settled.”

“West of Sundown is about the great mythologies of the old world slamming into the folklore of the new world…the legends of Europe, and the birth of the American beast,” said Seeley. “And, taking that theme as a skeleton, we’ve draped it with the sewed-together skin of Sergio Leone Westerns and Hammer Horror films. Gritty sunsets meet foggy nights. The gothic graveyard meets Boot Hill. What horrors lie in our shared unconsciousness, and how do we stuff them all into a too-tight corset?”

The second arc kicks off with issue #6, on sale November 16. It will feature two second-arc kick-off variants by Frison, along with three open-order covers by Campbell, Terry, and Seeley.

The full synopsis for issue #6 can be found below:

The New Mexico town of Sangre De Moro has accepted its strange new residents: a vampire, her thrall, Frankenstein’s monster, and the would-be mad scientist, Griffin. But a new threat has come for the evil-saturated soil of the mesa: Aristide Moreau and his strange companions.

Look for West of Sundown in stores on November 16.
