Vault Announces “Vampire: The Masquerade: Winter’s Teeth”

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Vault Comics have announced “Vampire: The Masquerade: Winter’s Teeth,” a series based on the tabletop role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. The comic, written by Tim Seeley, Tini Howard and Blake Howard, and illustrated by Devmalya Pramanik and colorist Addison Duke, will follow two dual stories in the game’s world of secret vampire societies: the life of a courier for the Camarilla sect in Minneapolis, and a murder investigation amongst the rebellious Anarch Movement. “The common thread linking the two? A secret that could upset vampire society as a whole.”

“When Vampire: The Masquerade launched in 1991, it felt like the first RPG to embrace dark and mature themes largely ignored by previous games,” Vault editor-in-chief Adrian Wassel said at the Reporter. “Close to 30 years later, following the successful launch of the 5th edition, Vampire: The Masquerade is exploring new avenues of storytelling with our comic series. I can’t imagine a better team than the one we’ve assembled.”

The series marks Vault’s first venture into licensed comics. Wassel said, “This is Vault’s first comic outside the world of creator-owned and we’re thrilled to be partnered with a brand that shares our commitment to the very best genre storytelling.”

“Vampire: The Masquerade: Winter’s Teeth” #1 will be released in July. Each issue will come with exclusive material for the latest edition of the game, which will allow players to incorporate the comic’s storyline into their own gaming sessions.
