Mark Millar's upcoming vampire series Night Club gets straight to the action in bloody fashion in a CBR exclusive preview of the first issue.
From the mind of writer Millar and artist Juanan Ramírez, Night Club is set to offer readers a vampire story that doesn't waste any time spilling blood. In an exclusive preview for CBR, Night Club #1 finds its young protagonist slowly coming to the realization that he is now a vampire, in part thanks to the realization that his urine is now as red as the blood he drinks.
The official synopsis for Night Club #1 reads, "You're 17 years old and you've been bitten by a vampire. Do you live in the shadows and drink human blood, or do you use your newfound gifts for the dream costumed superhero life you've always wanted? You're bulletproof, you can crawl up walls, and you can turn to mist, bats, or even a wolf. Why not have a little fun?"
Mark Millar Brings Night Club to Fans at a Low Price
Apart from a new story, the official synopsis for Night Club #1 promises, "THIS SERIES WILLL BE $1.99. TAKE THAT, MARVEL AND DC!" Millar has previously discussed the series' low price point, noting, "The biggest thing I hear in comic stores is that comic books are too expensive and everyone is absolutely right. I remember them creeping up to three dollars and then four dollars became the norm and now I'm seeing five and six dollars for a single issue when you generally read them in about ten minutes. But I also understand why the costs have gone up."
In a recent interview with CBR, Millar further opened up about how he hopes the series' low price will help entice new readers. "Night Club is the perfect book for this because it's so accessible," he explained. "It's a proper comic book but something mainstream people can get into, too. The idea of a bunch of kids getting bitten by a vampire and deciding to make it work for them and live their best lives as superheroes is very simple, but as a company, we thought it would be cool if taking a risk on a new book was minimized. The idea that you can buy the entire series for twelve bucks is just really exciting to me."
Night Club #1 is written by Millar with interior and main cover art by Juanan Ramirez. Variant cover arts are provided by Ramirez, Greg Capullo, Deegan Puchkors and Björn Barends. Night Club #1 goes on sale Dec. 14 from Image Comics.
