We talk Vampyrates with Fred Van Lente and Luca Pizzari

VAMPYRATES! #1 Through the darkness of the thousand-year eclipse they sail, seeking adventure, treasure—and blood! Writer Fred Van Lente and artist Luca Pizzari bring you a swashbuckling adventure in a world ruled by vampires! Through the darkness of the thousand-year eclipse they sail, seeking adventure, treasure—and blood! In a world ruled by vampires, Empress Nira of the Night Isles has always cared more for sword-fighting and carousing than ruling. But when she escapes a vicious coup by stowing aboard VMS Abyss, a pirate ship run by the mysterious Captain Akeyo, she gets more than she can handle of both. She must rise through the ranks of the Vampyrates from lowly swab to queen of the Sea of Night—so the oceans will run red with her vengeance!
