Hello readers and fans of great comics!  My name is Aaron Lopresti and I am a 30-year veteran of the comic book industry.  You may know me from my work on Marvel's PLANET HULK, X-MEN and MS. MARVEL or DC Comics' WONDER WOMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.  After successfully launching my new independent comic publishing company EMPIRE COMICS, with the hit graphic novel, WRAITH OF GOD, I am back with MORE!  I am even more determined to continue to bring you the very best in comic book entertainment and I know you won't be disappointed as the LOPRESTI-VERSE of characters and stories continues to grow with WRAITH OF GOD:BLOOD HUNTERS!

-Aaron Lopresti

THE STORY

The Wraith and Esther return to battle Count Korvac, a vampire looking to take over a growing Tennessee town, with the help of his blood-sucking brides in 1883.   Our two heroes continue to define their relationship as their faith is tested by the dark evil of the power-hungry vampire.

BACK-UP FEATURE #1- Garbage Man returns to face off with a family of zombies he discovers deep in the rural woods outside of Murnau City.  But the walking dead is only half of the story as the muck monster finds himself in more danger than he could possibly imagine.

BACK-UP FEATURE #2- The Night Club gets their first solo adventure as they must stop an elephant-like creature from destroying Murnau City.  Who is the strange antagonist and what role does the enigmatic AEON CHANCE have to play?

BACK-UP FEATURE #3 - Kit Carter Galactic Ranger and her partner Merv the Astro-Chimp must save the galaxy from the maniacal conqueror Zing the Zealous!
