Press Release

Vault Comics has revealed the upcoming series Fox and Hare has moved its release date to 2022. Originally planned for November 2021, the series is moving due to Covid-related delays. The series is written by Jon Tsuei (Sera and the Royal Stars, Run Love Kill) and co-created and drawn by star artist Stacey Lee (Marvel’s Silk, Gwenpool).

Vault Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief Adrian Wassel the series is one of the best he’s ever read. “When it became clear that Jon and Stacey wanted to sharpen the punk of their cyberpunk series to cut even more smartly through the realities of today, we all agreed it was the right call to move the release back. Yes, COVID has thrown a wrench in the works, personally and professionally for just about everyone, and, yes, the supply chain is chaotic right now, and, yes, all of that factored in, but quite simply: Jon and Stacey are making a masterpiece — reclaiming Asian identity in a genre that has a long, problematic history of fetishization and erasure, in equal measure — and I’ll stand by them taking exactly as long as they need to make it their perfect story.”
