‘Nights’ kicks off new story arc this July with #19

Image Comics has revealed that Nights will return with issue #19, which kicks off a blood-curdling new chapter in the story and picks up where the events of #12 left off.

“Issue #19 is the issue that I’ve been the most excited to tell since the series began! Luigi and I have always believed that Nights is about change, and with issue #19, we’re completing flipping the status quo to transition from a comedic slice of life adventure series into a true dark fantasy epic,” said Kennedy. “There’s going to be danger, death, heartbreak and all sorts of surprises that we’re thrilled for readers to experience! We couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity Image has given us to tell this next chapter.”

Formisano added: “I had way too much fun cranking the dark fantasy dial on this one! Wyatt and I leaned into an even more frenetic storytelling this time, packed with dramatic shadows, nasty creatures and vampires everywhere. With Vince finally awake and everything closing in, things are about to get very messy!”

So what’s Nights #19 about?

Vince, now a vampire, has finally awoken from a three month long coma and Gray is nowhere to be seen. Chimera’s forces are closing in on the duo, determined to capture the monster responsible for the town’s destruction but first they’ll have to contend with the arrival of the legendary (and bloodthirsty) vampire conquistador, Eda!

“In my opinion, Wyatt and Luigi are one of comics’ best kept secrets, and Nights is one of the treasures that’s hidden in plain sight,” said Eric Stephenson, Chief Creative Officer and Publisher at Image Comics. “Every issue of this delightfully unhinged series has been great, and I’m envious of anyone who may be stumbling upon it for the first time!”
