## Chronology

Anthology series

***V-Wars*** is a comic book series published by IDW Publishing from 2014 to 2015, continuing the anthology series.

## Summary

***V-Wars*** chronicles the battle between humans and hundreds of new species of vampires! The vampires people used to believe in weren't charming romantic antiheroes. They were monsters.

> "*Nothing here sparkles, I can tell you that. It’s old-school scary monsters. And it actually is old-school because this is not the Hollywood vampire.*"

> "*This actually taps into world vampire beliefs. Every country has a belief in vampires, and they’re all different. So when people get infected by the plague in V-WARS, they turn into whatever vampire is tied to their ethnic background, which means you never know who’s going to be a vampire or what kind of vampire they’re going to be. It’s never going to be a good thing for anyone involved in that.*"
