We’re always in for a good vampire story, and Cul-De-Sac looks like it’s going to be brutal, bloody, and full of surprises.

Cul-De-Sac #1
Publisher: Bad Idea Comics
Writer: Mike Carey
Interior & Cover Artist: Jonathan Wayshak
Release date: August 6, 2025

Mike Carey (X-Men, Lucifer and many other big comic books) is back with a brand-new horror series, teaming up with artist Jonathan Wayshak for a twisted vampire thriller that kicks off in the quiet suburbs. It all starts with a seemingly normal summer campout, until one of the neighborhood moms reveals a horrific secret. The parents are vampires, and they want their kids to carry on the bloodline. But when the kids return home, they find their parents slaughtered by vampire hunters…

We’re super excited for Cul-De-Sac because the story sounds wild and full of potential. Creepy family secrets, deadly powers, and kids trying to survive after having their world turned upside down? Yes please. Before finding out that their parents were slaughtered, the children are given a choice: embracing being a vampire, or living their lives as mere mortals. No doubt that what happened back home to their parents will influence their decisions…

You also have to check out the preview pages, they look intense and terrifying in the best way. The art seems to fit the story and the atmosphere perfectly. This will definitely be a bloody visual feast… and we love that.

Also worth screaming about: variant covers are coming, and among them is a first-of-its-kind cursed mirror variant by Stray Dogs and Feral’s Tony Fleecs. We’re curious about this one, and we already know we might preorder a few of these covers… I mean look at them!

This new horror series launches August 6, 2025… and we’re already counting the nights.
