V-Wars

In the near-future world of V-Wars, a mysterious prion disease transforms a fraction of the population into vampires, sparking a global biological and cultural war. Published by IDW from 2014 to 2015, this 11-issue series is defined by the painted, visceral artwork of Ryan Brown, whose style brings a gritty, documentary-like realism to the conflict. The series stands as a thoughtful, horror-tinged exploration of pandemic and prejudice, offering a grounded take on the vampire mythos that feels eerily prescient.
