Dark Miniseries 'Blood Commandment' by Szymon Kudranski Launches This November

 


Image Comics is pleased to announce an all-new horror story—Blood Commandment—from the artist behind Spawn and Punisher, Szymon Kudrański. A four-issue horror miniseries from the creator of the breakout hit series Something Epic, Kudrański will bring readers a story about survival, sacrifice, and hope this November from Image Comics.

Living an isolated life in a shadowed valley surrounded by mountains and a thick forest, a father and son are terrorized by a dangerous supernatural presence. Only the father's dark secrets can save them…or damn their souls for all eternity!

"It's a story about the relationship between a father and his growing up son, facing a danger that threatens their lives. Living far away from civilization in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by thick forests and mountains, they're trying to survive the attack of a vampire. In such an isolated place, you can't count on help from outside, it's either fight or... run," said Kudrański. "I tried to return to the most classical rules of vampires and reinvent them a bit, where their origin lies in the bearing of a damned soul, instead of a 'monster' that just acts as a killing machine. Which removes the drama of the vampire character. Staying within the framework of faith and God, it deepens the tragedies of these characters. The first arc of Something Epic ends in November, and the second arc starts in March. Blood Commandment is a great story for someone who is following and waiting for my solo work as a creator, writer, and illustrator. I assure my readers that they will experience a lot of emotions while reading it!"

Being a single father can be tough, but for Ezra Connolly, it's a duty he doesn't take lightly. Living off-grid, away from prying eyes, in the heart of forest country, he spends his days teaching his teenage son Wil survival skills. But Wil has questions, questions Ezra fears to answer—about his past, and about why they never leave the valley before sundown…

"All my heroes growing up were writer/artists. It's the purest form of our medium. I now add Szymon to this list of greats. This is Exceptional." —Mark Millar, Kick-Ass, Wanted

"Blood Commandment is the type of storytelling I yearn for. The depth of a human story coupled with the genre-bending horror that keeps me up at night! I love this book!" —Rodney Barnes, Killadelphia, Star Wars: The Mandalorian

The latest example is the excellent new series from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds entitled 'The Department of Truth' that's been a bestseller for Image Comics. It proposes conspiracy theories can be all-too-real and for Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave St...
