SINK YOUR TEETH INTO A WORLD OVERRUN BY MONSTERS IN MILLAR AND BERG’S “VATICAN CITY”
The vampires are bloodthirsty, calculating, and worst of all, they are winning.
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (May 23, 2025)— Dark Horse Books presents the hit new horror comic series Vatican City collected in one paperback volume. Created by Mark Millar at Netflix and brought to the printed page by the brilliant new talent Per Berg, this critically celebrated three-part miniseries spans issue #1 (available in comic stores now), and issues #2 and #3 (available in May and June, respectively). Now, fans can also pre-order the Vatican City collection in one volume before it goes on sale in Fall 2025.
In Vatican City, the world has been overrun by a vampire apocalypse. Every man, woman and child is dead, except for the two thousand tourists safe behind the walls and holy relics of Vatican City. But as the vampires plan their siege on the last bastion of humanity, the survivors’ fear mounts–just how long can they hold out? Time is not on their side, because the monsters can wait forever.
The end times are nigh for those in Vatican City when the 104-page (6.625” x 10.1875”) paperback arrives in bookstores on October 14 and comic shops on October 15, 2025, for $19.99. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local comic shop or bookstore. Visit Comic Shop Locator or bookshop.org for more details and stores near you.
Praise for Vatican City:
“Vatican City #1 is a confident and competent debut from two radically different talents marrying their respective styles to create an engaging read. The experimental illustration of Berg, combined with a seasoned writer like Millar, creates a comic that feels like it has a very steady underpinning, giving itself space to take risks with its art and explore vampire lore in interesting ways.”—CBR
“Millar is great with concocting these seemingly impossible odds against the heroes only to introduce a completely sensible and smart way to turn the tide.”—Lyles Movie Files
“The sheer brutality of that horde can’t help but leave an impression thanks to Berg’s bloody visuals, and yet these are in stark contrast to the radiance of St. Peter’s, though even that last bastion of hope can’t keep all of the darkness at bay.”—Comicbook.com
