What's the Scoop on The Vineyard?
THE VINEYARD is a family-owned winery that sows and reaps by the blessing of the great god of wine and revelry, Dionysus. However, the Vines family's patron god requires complete devotion in the form of four sacrificial killings a year before each harvest. This has been done in unfettered obeisance. But all of that changed when the family's patriarch, Didache Vines, was in a horrible accident that left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
Now, the sacrificial and murderous duties of the Vines family have fallen to wife and matriarch, Maranatha Vines. With harvest season fast approaching and the family short of their annual sacrificial killings, Maranatha's struggle with her conscience puts all of her family - husband, son and daughter - in jeopardy.
Written by Brian Hawkins (Black Cotton, Believe in the Name, Don't Ever Blink) and illustrated by Sami Kivelä (THE HEATHENS, UNDONE BY BLOOD, Abbott), THE VINEYARD is what happens when family values and otherworldly obligations collide.

BLACK COTTON TP
Set in an alternate reality where the social order of "white" and "black" is reversed, when it comes to social standing and class, the Cottons are at the top of the food chain, part of the One Percent, and are seemingly untouchable. However, that all changes when Zion, their police officer son, who decided to not follow in the footsteps of his father and matriculate towards running the family business, is involved in the shooting of a minority white woman and ignites their city in a fury of protests and a call for action against racial injustice.

DON'T EVER BLINK
Only a few years ago, Detective Rendall Robinson and his partner Detective Vicki Lopez were the officers tracking down a serial killer. The killer murdered sixteen people, euthanizing them, all found with their eyelids sewn shut, and was never caught. The murders were random and seemingly held no pattern which baffled the detectives, the police, and everyone in the town. And then, out of nowhere and with no provocation, it ended. But not without a cult following beginning for the killer...
DON'T EVER BLINK is the return of the killer, a second-coming, and Detective Robinson and Detective Lopez are back on the case and are determined to catch the killer this time around, and their best chance of doing so is the only person to ever survive... Tinsley Marissa Grace.
