They have redefined what’s possible as an independent publisher in their category. As a devoted audiobook listener myself, I am particularly excited to offer Vault fans everywhere new ways to experience the storyworlds they love through audiobooks and ebooks,” said Vault CEO, Damian Wassel. “I am equally excited to bring key Aethon titles and series to life in the comic book medium.”
First publications from the partnership are tentatively planned for 2024.
“Working with Vault is a dream come true,” said Aethon Co-owner and COO Steve Beaulieu. “When meeting with their team, it’s as if looking into a mirror and seeing the same excitement for comics, music, and the genres that for us, are life itself. We look forward to many years together, producing the highest quality Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and beyond.”
