Broken Frontier

Andrew Cosby, the creator of UPN’s Haunted and the Sci-Fi network original series Eureka, teams with rising star and Eisner Award-nominee J. Alexander (Queen and Country) for a vampire epic of global proportions in February's DAMN NATION.

The United States’ borders and ports are locked down against a terrible threat. However, the barbed wire and infantries are not positioned to keep an enemy out, but to protect the rest of the world from a vampire plague that’s spread over every inch of the country. Most of the living have fled the U.S., but a group of scientists remain behind, working on a cure. A military operation is launched from the President’s current offices in the U.S. Embassy in London, to save the potential cure from the encroaching undead—but the real motivations of the military remain in question.

“Damn Nation is a reinterpretation of the classic vampire tale,” commented series writer Andrew Cosby. “My initial goal was simple. I wanted to make the vampire scary again. To do that, I had to strip it down to its essential elements: a bloodthirsty nocturnal predator driven by a single biological imperative to feed. Once that was accomplished, all that was left to do was find a villain. For that, I had to look to the real monster in my story: man.”

Damn Nation #1 (of 5) written by Andrew Cosby with art by J. Alexander arrives in stores on February 16 with a retail price of $2.99. Edited by Scott Allie.
