V-Wars

A short-lived but potent two-issue series from Cross Cult, V-Wars (2015–2016) adapts the prose anthology concept of the same name into a concise comic format. It explores a world thrown into chaos by a mysterious pathogen that awakens vampiric traits in some humans, sparking a global conflict between the infected and the uninfected. The series is most associated with writer and creator Jonathan Maberry, whose larger V-Wars universe provides the source material for this focused, visceral take on the premise. It matters as a key entry point into Maberry's shared world, offering a self-contained story that captures the series' core tension of survival and prejudice in a pandemic-ravaged society.
