Ninth Circle has announced today a new one-shot by Adam Glass and Bernard Chang titled Blood Train. Out in early July, Ninth Circle is calling this 28 Days Later meets The Ruins in this high-stakes standalone horror story.
ADAM GLASS ON HIS INSPIRATIONS BEHIND CREATING THE BOOK:
“As I grow older, much of my writing is inspired by my fears, not just for myself but for the well-being of my children. Many of the experiences I cherished as a young adult have become increasingly challenging for Gen Z. When our college-aged kids excitedly announced their plans to backpack through Europe by train just as the war in Ukraine was unfolding, I was filled with concern. As I dwelled on the potential risks, the recent lockdown due to COVID-19, and my growing unease, the idea for BLOOD TRAIN took shape. From the moment I conceived the story, I knew I wanted to collaborate with one of my favorite artists, Bernard Chang. Bernard, a remarkable artist and a passionate world traveler, immediately embraced the project. We poured our hearts into this creation together and hope you will find it as thrilling as we did in bringing it to life.”
BERNARD CHANG ON WORKING WITH HIS CREATIVE TEAM AND WHY HE WANTED TO DO THIS BOOK:
“Working on BLOOD TRAIN has been a blood curling experience! While ‘story’ always sits at the ultimate hierarchy of the process, ‘collaboration’ is the lasting experience that I’ll cherish at the end of the day. Adam Glass has been like a brotha to me, since our over a two-year run on Teen Titans for DC Comics. I hope that our love and passion for storytelling are reflected on the pages, and the readers are left wanting more.
Check out a preview below.
After backpacking through Asia, a group of friends climb aboard the Siberian Express to start their journey home. Little do they know, they’ve bought a one-way ticket to hell, as one of them has been infected with a bioweapon that will turn them into a monster who will slaughter everyone on the train. And the bioweapon will start World War Three if it reaches its destination in Europe. Now, these friends must make a difficult choice: kill someone they love to save the world or die trying.
