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.

The new academy will serve as “the central hub” for mutants around the world, boosting a staff that includes Wolverine, Beast, Storm, Magneto, Rogue and its founder, Emma Frost. But not every mutant will be a fan.

“Working on the X-team for the past couple of years has been some of the most fun I’ve had writing comics ever,” Ewing said. “The idea for Graymatter Lane was a collective one, from lots of writers in a room brainstorming, and it’s so cool because the psychic space allows for things to be weirder and more surreal, while still building on the classic Xavier’s School energy we’ve all loved for decades.”
