Fred Van Lente is one of the smartest writers in comics! He's both witty and very knowledgeable!

So we have conscripted to use that wit and knowledge for customer service! Come by and get rung up by Fred, chat comics, and more importantly chat about his new book from @boomstudios Vampyrates!

Through the darkness of the thousand-year eclipse they sail, seeking adventure, treasure—and blood!

In a world ruled by vampires, Empress Nira of the Night Isles has always cared more for sword-fighting and carousing than ruling. But when she escapes a vicious coup by stowing aboard VMS Abyss, a pirate ship run by the mysterious Captain Akeyo, she gets more than she can handle of both.

She must rise through the ranks of the Vampyrates from lowly swab to queen of the Sea of Night—so the oceans will run red with her vengeance!
