Article Summary

• Impaler returns with modern day Dracula from Image Comics and Top Cow in February 2027 as a new six-issue series.
• William Harms and Christian DiBari team with colorist Lee Loughridge to revive the brutal vampire saga for a new era.
• Set in a world destroyed by vampires, survivors resurrect Vlad the Impaler as their last hope—or greatest threat.

BAFTA nominee William Harms of White Sky, Mafia III and Infamous, and Christian DiBari of Revolvers, Magdalena: Reformation and Destiny Gate are launching a new series for Impaler, based on the legend of Count Dracula, coloured by Lee Loughridge. Originally published in 2009, drawn by Nick Postic and Nick Marinkovich, Impaler will be getting its third volume from Top Cow and Image Comics in February 2027 with a new six-issue series. With covers by Matt Timso,, Jason Shawn Alexander and Dani. In Impaler, "vampires have destroyed the world. A group of survivors huddle in the ruins of the Pentagon, and their only hope for survival rests in the resurrection of Vlad the Impaler. But is he their saviour, or their destroyer?" Impaler #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, the 3rd of February, 2027.

"Impaler has always held a special place in my heart, and I'm thrilled to return to it. I've always seen Impaler as a love letter to what vampires should be—terrifying, brutal, and utterly unrelenting. It's been thrilling to watch Christian and Lee bring this story to horrifying life, and I can't wait for readers, new and old, to experience it." says William Harms. Christian DiBari adds, "Working with Bill and Top Cow has been a real treat for me; getting to dive into this bleak, dark story with all kinds of cool characters and world-building is the best kind of storytelling experience."
