Before he became forever cursed to be remembered as the man who put nipples on the Batsuit, Joel Schumacher was actually one hell of a respected filmmaker, with The Lost Boys being seen as one of his defining works.
Although it already spawned two straight-to-DVD sequels and a 2008 comic miniseries, Variety reports that The Lost Boys is now getting an all-new comic follow-up from writer Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and artists Scott Godlewski (The Dark & Bloody), and Patricia Mulvihill (Hellblazer), with covers by Tony Harris. The team promises to deliver a gruesome and stylish return to the bloody boardwalks and big hair of 1987.
In the upcoming series, the town of Santa Carla, California, is once again beset by vampires, with the Emersons and the Frogs having to team up to take them out. The miniseries is being published by DC’s Vertigo imprint, and Issue #1 will be released on October 12th.
Synopsis:
Santa Carla, California, is on edge. The eccentric coastal town and haven for the undead was finally returning to “normal” after its last supernatural scuffle left the local vampire coven’s leader dead and gave newcomers Michael and Sam Emerson a housewarming both violent and bizarre. Now the brothers must once again team up with militant vampire hunters Edgar and Allan Frog as a new gang of ruthless, stunning, life-sucking nightcrawlers known as the Blood Belles emerges from the aftermath to collect Michael’s love interest and their lost sister, Star.
