MORE VAMPIRONICA: Archie Comics has announced a Dec. 4 launch for Vampironica: New Blood, a five-issue series from writers Frank Tieri and Michael Moreci and artist Audrey Mok.

"Jughead the Hunger vs. Vampiroinica #5 really changes everything," Tieri said. "How does she deal with this shocking revelation now that she's back in her own reality? And what other Lodge family secrets has she been kept from? It all comes to a head in our first arc as what she uncovers may lead to nothing short of an all-out full-fledged vampire war. So yeah, I guess everyone can see we have some big plans for this book . . . plans that'll change Vampironica's world forever."

"Our approach to continuing Veronica's vampire tale is to really ground both her character and the story itself," Moreci said. "Essentially, this is a coming-of-age story we're telling, with some cool twists and turns and a whole bunch of bloody horror for readers to -- pun fully intended -- sink their teeth into."
