VAMPIRE STATE BUILDING #1 

ABLAZE

(W)   Ange, Patrick Renault (A/CA) Charlie Adlard

The newest horror series from the artist of The Walking Dead,  Charlie Adlard! Just in time for Halloween, get ready to be bitten from  the first full color page. Terry Fisher is a young soldier on the verge  of being sent away for active military duty, and is going to meet his  friends at the top of the Empire State Building for a farewell party.  But suddenly a legion of vampires attacks the skyscraper and massacres  its occupants. Hounded in the 102 floors that have become a deadly trap,  Terry must take decisive action to save himself and his friends - and  the city of New York - before the army of abominations, and the terrible  vampire god within, walled in the building since its construction,  spill into the city!  

This July, DC will launch the next chapter of Sean Murphy’s monumental Bat-saga with BATMAN: CURSE OF THE WHITE KNIGHT from DC Black Label. The eagerly awaited sequel to Murphy’s best-selling BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT.

Following the critical success of BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT, Murphy is putting a new spin on this upcoming series, with The Joker recruiting a new, savage partner to help him expose a shocking revelation about the  Wayne family’s legacy. As Batman rushes to protect the city and his  loved ones from this corrupt conspiracy, the Dark Knight will come face  to face with the horrifying truth. 

Murphy’s BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT delivered an alternative examination of  the relationship between the greatest rivals in the DC Universe. By  curing The Joker of his insanity and making him an advocate for good in  Gotham City, Murphy led Batman down his own path of madness. And now the  story continues in this exciting new miniseries.

Imagine if  aliens came to Earth not in war or peace, but with a business deal: open  up a spaceport here on Earth in exchange for advanced technology. But  when our alien visitors break Port restrictions and wreak havoc in our  cities, it falls to the newly formed Earth Security Agents to hunt down and safely deport the dangerous rogue aliens back to the Port of Earth. A  gritty sci-fi action thriller from new comic book writer ZACK KAPLAN  (ECLIPSE) and ANDREA MUTTI (Rebels, Star Wars, Batman Eternal,  Prometheus).  

Skybound Entertainment is developing the sci-fi property Port of Earth —  based on the namesake comic book series launched in 2017 by creator Zack Kaplan, Top Cow Productions and Image Comics — for television with Amazon Studios.
 

Written by Kaplan with art by Andrea Mutti (Rebels, Batman Eternal), the  gritty sci-fi series Port of Earth tells the story of an alien alliance  called The Consortium that has come to Earth with a business  proposition: open Earth as a spaceport for our customers to use and  receive advanced technology upgrades in exchange.
 

When rogue aliens break the Port restrictions and wreak havoc in  different cities, however, the terms of the deal begin to change. Soon  it is up to the Earth Security Agents to send them back to the Port of  Earth. With The Consortium representing thousands of alien planets the  series delves into political issues of exploitation, occupation,  espionage, duplicity, technology and leverage, all in a gritty sci-fi  setting.
 

Kaplan, along with Top Cow principals Marc Silvestri & Matt  Hawkins, will executive produce alongside Skybound Entertainment. This is the third of Kaplan’s comic book series to be optioned in the past  two years, following Eclipse, which is also in development at Skybound,  and Lost City Explorer, which was set up at Universal Television with  Aftershock Comics producing.
 

Kaplan is repped by Heroes & Villains Entertainment and attorney  Peter Sample of Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Top Cow is repped by Circle of  Confusion and attorney Harris Miller.
