Vault Comics + novelist Jeremy Robinson launch supernatural horror series ‘Excommunicated’ in May

The series pairs a faithful nun with a festering demon after a botched exorcism leaves them cast out from the church and from hell.

Vault Comics will publish Excommunicated, a new supernatural horror/”buddy cop” series written by novelist Jeremy Robinson and illustrated by Tiago Palma, beginning in May.

They’ll be joined by colorist Manuel J. Rodriguez, letterer Jim Campbell and designer Tim Daniel on the series, which features an excommunicated nun and an exorcised demon thrown out of hell teaming up to save the world.

Novelist Jeremy Robinson will team with artists Annapaola Martello and Francesco Francini on Nectar, a horror comic about bloodthirsty butterflies that Vault Comics will publish in March.

The story takes place on an island village off Salem, Massachusetts, where a strange species of butterflies spreads the Dancing Plague and has a taste for human blood. 

“When my wife, Hilaree, and I started spitballing story concepts, all I knew was that I wanted to create a new Victorian monster to rival Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster and werewolves,” said Robinson. “Our twisted imaginations went to work and just minutes later we had blood-sucking butterflies and the dancing plague wrapped together, along with the title: Nectar. I loved the idea so much, I started writing the script the next day.”
