It was teased in last week’s release of the Unexpected, but this past weekend Vertigo announced two new ongoings, including Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Lovechild. The book, written by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and illustrated by Denys Cowan, the book follows Dominique Laveau, “half-breed, outcast and heir to the Voodoo Queenship of New Orleans” as she struggles to fight against supernatural powers to claim her birthright.
The official description from Vertigo’s Graphic Content is as follows:
Lingering on the threshold between history and legend, the home of Mardi Gras and the birthplace of Jazz, New Orleans is also known as the most haunted city in America: a town of centuries-old ghosts and new spirits of those drowned by Katrina; where Loup Garous, Vampires and Voodoo Spirits make their home. Ruling over all of this are the powerful Voodoo Queens, whose influence stretches into politics, business and crime as they maintain the delicate equilibrium between the mortal and supernatural worlds. But that careful balance has been upset. The Queen has been murdered, and Tulane grad student Dominique Laveau is the No. 1 suspect–and marked for death.
Check out the Unexpected, in comic stores now, for a preview of the book, and look for the full series in February of next year.
