Writer Mark Millar’s next Dark Horse Comics series will be a survival adventure story set in the one place vampires can’t go.  Vatican City, a three-issue series by Millar and artist Per Berg, is set during a vampire apocalypse that has wiped out all of humanity, except for about 2,000 tourists and Vatican staffers who are safe in a place filled with vampire-repelling holy water, relics, and crosses.  While the humans struggle inside the city, the vampires wait patiently outside, and being undead, they have plenty of time.  The first issue will go on sale on April 9, 2025, with an MSRP of $5.99 and a main cover by Berg, with variants by John McCrea and John Kalisz.

"I’ve had this idea for years, Assault on Precinct 13 with vampires, tourists and staff safe behind the holy relics in The Vatican while the rest of the world outside has been taken down by the forces of darkness,” Millar said in a statement accompanying the announcement.  “I wrote it into The Magic Order as a little subplot in volume 3, but really wanted to flesh it out and tell the whole story. Vatican City is my big chance.”

Millar moved his Millarworld titles to Dark Horse in early 2024 (see "Millarworld to Dark Horse").
