Titan Comics and White Wolf are launching a new comic series, “Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate,” debuting on November 11, 2026, which explores a vampire investigating a chaotic city amidst protests and supernatural mysteries.

The press release follows:

Media Release – Global publisher Titan Comics and premier supernatural entertainment brand White Wolf are thrilled to announce a BRAND-NEW comic book series, exploring a new world within the universe of one of the most iconic tabletop role playing games, Vampire: The Masquerade! The hotly anticipated debut Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate #1 hits comic shops on the 11th November 2026.



When a city on edge becomes a feeding ground, one vampire is sent into the chaos to uncover what’s really hunting amidst the protests. In the shadows of a city on fire, the bloody feed on every screen has spilled into the streets. Amidst the turmoil, whispers spread of bodies drained in the chaos, killings too precise to be human. When suspicion falls on vampires exploiting the unrest, the powers that be turn to Silky, enigmatic owner of The Dutchman bar, to uncover the truth.

This new 4-part comic series brings on board a stellar creative team featuring award-winning writer John Lees (And Then Emily Was Gone, The Nasty) with art by Tom Mandrake (Batman, The Spectre, The Martian Manhunter, Swamp Thing, The Punisher, and Wolverine).



“I am so excited to be able to contribute to the rich lore of Vampire: The Masquerade,” said John Lees. “One of the most evocative aspects of Bloodlines 2 is its setting in Seattle, a city I love, and it was really fun to expand on that and make Seattle and its recent history integral to our story. And getting to work with the great Tom Mandrake to bring this story to life has been a delight - I can’t wait for you to see more of the superb work he’s been doing on this book!”

Titan Comics is known for its reputation for publishing a huge collection of stellar and popular video game comics including RuneScape, Dead by Daylight, Little Nightmares and Dark Souls. Editor of the new series, Louis Yamani comments: “It’s been a genuine pleasure working on this with John and Tom. Together, they’ve blended unsettling supernatural horror with thoughtful social commentary, using the otherworldly to reflect the horrors that exist in our own world. Much like players are free to make their own choices in the game, readers are equally free to form their own opinions on the themes explored in the comic – we’re not interested in telling them what to think.”



“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to illustrate this new Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate comic book project.” noted Tom Mandrake “Getting contacted by Louis felt like a full circle moment. It reminded me that I had done single illustrations for the RPG books over 20 years ago. Returning to this wonderful, dark franchise after all this time is already proving to be an amazing experience. We have a great team. John Lees scripts ring true to Vampire: The Masquerade while firmly rooting the story in the real world. We’re developing new characters and new lore for Vampire: The Masquerade while playing in the very deep pool of characters and settings that already exist, a balancing act that I truly enjoy.”

Titan Comics are excited to create an adaptation that fleshes out and expands on the existing lore, bringing the dark, secretive vampire society into a new urban nightmare.

Vampire: The Masquerade: Wake in Hate #1 hits comic stores on the 11th November 2026. The series will consist of 4 issues, followed by a graphic novel collection releasing in April 2027.

Fans can pre-order Issue 1 NOW from their local comic shops, or from Forbidden Planet for UK & Europe.
