Dark Horse Comics announces Blood Brothers

Just a couple of vampiric buds out to save the world…

Fresh from WonderCon this past weekend, Dark Horse has announced that writers Mike Gagerman and Andrew Waller’s Blood Brothers will be on store shelves this Summer. The book focuses on two guys who “just happen to be vampires”, as Waller says.

Nick and Tree have seen everything together. They’ve smoked opium with Genghis Khan, had orgies in Michelangelo’s studio, even fronted a death metal band in the seventies. But after a millennium of friendship, these inseparable, immortal buddies are on the verge of going their separate ways. Terrible timing, as an apocalypse-obsessed vampire villain is plotting an end to humanity, and Nick and Tree are the only ones standing in his way. Can they put their baggage aside long enough to save the world?

Waller also adds that the pair of writers (themselves friends for 25 years- not eternity) really wanted to put something together that felt like a classic buddy comedy in the vein of “Lethal Weapon or Rush Hour”. Personally, I like all the flicks from both of those series’ so this one’s on my radar as of right now.

Blood Brothers also shares something else in common with the aforementioned movies and that’s that it’s about to become a major motion picture. So Blood Brothers might just be one hot property to watch… and read.
