But it seems that it won't be just Spawn joining in with an Image Comics crossover. Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon will also be part of the story. Oh and the MGM blacksploitation character Blacula, which Barnes and Alexander recently adapted as a graphic novel.

"The Killadelphia series follows a small-town beat cop who returns home to bury his murdered father, revered Philadelphia detective James Sangster Sr. What he doesn't anticipate is digging up a mystery that will lead him down a path of horrors and shake his beliefs to their core. The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality… and vampires. Now, it's up to Jimmy and an unexpected companion to stop long-thought-dead president of the United States John Adams from building an undead army and staging a bloody new American revolution."

"It's tough to convey how excited I am about this story arc. Big thanks to Todd McFarlane and Eric Larsen for lending us their creations" says writer and co-creator Rodney Barnes. "Also thanks to MGM studios for allowing Blacula to visit the city of Philadelphia. And lastly a humongous thanks to the late great Bram Stoker for creating Count Dracula who will be joining the battle as well. Great times!" This next arc also contains backup stories featuring Johnny Gatlin.

Killadelphia #31 will be published on the 15th of November, 2023.
