The creator of 2000 AD is bringing a different kind of horror to digital publishing with the first volume of Pat Mills’ Requiem Vampire Knight: Resurrection, coming to ComiXology as part of his new digital imprint Millsverse. Following in the [cloven] footsteps of his digital one-shot PsychoKiller, Requiem sees a German soldier reborn on the hell planet Resurrection to become a formidable vampire knight!

Pat Mills is one of the most influential UK comics creators of the last 30 years. Best known as the creator of 2000AD, and writer of comic series such as Charley’s War, Slaine, Marshal Law,Nemesis The Warlock and Accident Man. Back in July Mills  launched his own digital label, Millsverse, with the one-off PsychoKiller from Toxic! magazine.

His latest series, Requiem Vampire Knight: Resurrection is now available on ComiXology and is an epic story, created with French artist Olivier Ledroit, of a German soldier who dies, is reborn on the Hell planet of Resurrection, and becomes a Vampire Knight.

“Requiem is perfect for Comixology’s guided view…” Mills tells us. “Olivier Ledroit’s rich painted artwork looks even more amazing when it’s backlit [while] panel by panel viewing also reveals details and brushstrokes that you can otherwise miss on paper.”

With eleven published volumes of Requiem – and two more volumes to complete the first story arc Mills hopes he can build a new audience of digital readers that haven’t seen an English version of this award-winning hit series which is a best-seller in France.

According to Mills “Requiem is a darkly humorous, satirical, macabre and savage adventure saga that is 100% Gothic.  Resurrection is populated by a who’s who of the most evil people who ever lived on Earth.”

As well as Requiem Vampire Knight: Resurrection, the second volume in the series Danse Macabre, is due out on 3 September, with volume 3, Dracula, following soon after.  “I think Comixology has done a great job of publishing Requiemquickly, and creating a very cool guided view. Alongside Requiem, we plan to release more creator-owned stories shortly and eventually to originate new comic series on Comixology.”

It’s exciting times for fans of Mill’s unique view on digital comics. For more information visit www.millsverse.com and to purchase Requiem Vampire Knight: Resurrection from ComiXology simply click here!
