London, United Kingdom, July 2026 – Global publisher Titan Comics and premier supernatural entertainment brand White Wolf are thrilled to announce a brand-new comic book series exploring a new world within one of the most iconic tabletop role-playing universes, Vampire: The Masquerade. The hotly anticipated debut issue, Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate #1, hits comic shops on November 11, 2026.
This new four-part comic series brings together a stellar creative team featuring award-winning writer John Lees (And Then Emily Was Gone, The Nasty) with art by Tom Mandrake (Batman, The Spectre, Swamp Thing, The Punisher, Wolverine).
“I am so excited to be able to contribute to the rich lore of Vampire: The Masquerade,” said John Lees. “One of the most evocative aspects of Bloodlines 2 is its setting in Seattle, a city I love, and it was really fun to expand on that and make Seattle and its recent history integral to our story. And getting to work with the great Tom Mandrake to bring this story to life has been a delight.”
Mandrake added: “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to illustrate this new Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate comic book project. Returning to this wonderful, dark franchise after all this time is already proving to be an amazing experience. We’re developing new characters and new lore while playing in the very deep pool of existing settings — a balancing act that I truly enjoy.”
Titan Comics editor Louis Yamani commented: “Together, John and Tom have blended unsettling supernatural horror with thoughtful social commentary, using the otherworldly to reflect the horrors that exist in our own world. Much like players are free to make their own choices in the game, readers are equally free to form their own opinions on the themes explored in the comic.”
Titan Comics are excited to create an adaptation that fleshes out and expands the existing lore, bringing the dark, secretive vampire society into a new urban nightmare.
Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate #1 hits comic stores on November 11, 2026. The series will consist of four issues, followed by a graphic novel collection releasing in April 2027. Fans can pre-order Issue #1 now from their local comic shops or from Forbidden Planet in the UK and Europe.

When a city on edge becomes a feeding ground, one vampire is sent into the chaos to uncover what’s really hunting amidst the protests. In the shadows of a city on fire, the bloody feed on every screen has spilled into the streets. Amidst the turmoil, whispers spread of bodies drained in the chaos — killings too precise to be human. When suspicion falls on vampires exploiting the unrest, the powers that be turn to Silky, enigmatic owner of The Dutchman bar, to uncover the truth.
