New York Times bestselling comic book writer and television showrunner Adam Glass is partnering with iconic comic book artist Bernard Chang to come aboard horror one-shot comic Blood Train, pulling into station this January, when it hits shelves. The extra-sized comic, which will be in magazine trim size, is a part of the newly launched Ninth Circle line of comics. The line is led by creators such as Glass, Garth Ennis, Marguerite Bennett, Joe Pruett, and Ram V, alongside founders Michael Bogner and David Stone. Ninth Circle will redefine genre storytelling, highlighting cutting-edge, original standalone stories that explore all of the dark avenues of the horror genre.
28 Days Later meets The Ruins in Blood Train, a high-stakes standalone horror story. After backpacking through Asia, a group of friends climb aboard the Siberian Express to start their journey home. Little do they know, they’ve bought a one-way ticket to hell, as one of them has been infected with a bioweapon that will turn them into a monster who will slaughter everyone on the train. And the bioweapon will start World War Three if it reaches its destination in Europe. Now, these friends must make a difficult choice: kill someone they love to save the world or die trying.
Blood Train #1 will be perfect bound, magazine trim size (8.5” x 10.875”), and feature a cardstock cover. It will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, January 29:
- Cover A by Chang (Lunar code 1124IM246)
- Cover B (1:10 incentive) by Michael Gaydos (Lunar code 1124IM247)
