Special Feature from New York Comic Con 2023: Vault Comics and Z2 Comics
Welcome back my friends to the New York Comic Con coverage that never ends if I can take a bite out of the classic ELP song. Now being serious we are heading towards the close but with so many photos, features, interviews and videos to share from this years event it all makes sense. So as I mentioned I am now in the middle of posting some of the Special Feature focuses with you all. Doing it this way let’s me have the companies shine brighter on their own and I think that’s a very good thing. If you are only now just joining us we welcome you to the proceedings and hope that you like what you see. Before I get right on into this one I am going to suggest that you click HERE first as that will open up a brand-new browser tab with all of the posts that preceded this one. Now I will continue along with the special features and talk about Vault Comics and Z2 Comics.
This batch of images comes from the cool pavilion that Vault Comics had going on and truth be told I’ve never perused any of their offerings. I’m going to try and get on their media servicing list if they have one so I can look into reviewing some of their output here on the site. We did a video with one of their team and everything looks and sounds interesting so stay tuned for that on the YouTube Channel and enjoy these images for the time being.

Z2 Comics Announces Itinerary for New York Comic Con 2023
The Press Release:
Z2, the multiple Eisner-winning and Ringo-winning independent publisher of graphic novels, is set to raise their fist in celebration of their music creators this October at New York Comic Con with plans to host multiple signings at their booth, debut new titles, and participate in panels. Z2 Comics will invade New York Comic Con in October with an array of talent appearing in support of current and upcoming graphic novels. While days and times are yet to be finalized, among those confirmed include Halestorm, GWAR, Alan Robert of Life Of Agony, and Dee Snider of the legendary Twisted Sister.
The entire band of Halestorm, including Lzzy Hale, will appear at NYCC 2023 in support of their graphic novel entitled Hyde Manor released in late August 2023. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 2012 EP Hello, It’s Mz Hyde and its ensuing LP, The Strange Case Of…, the Hyde Manor graphic novel depicts the members of Halestorm encountering sinister doppelgangers of themselves. Within the decrepit halls of Hyde Manor, mirror reflections independently talk back and photographs transform to reveal sordid prophecies, leading the band to slowly succumb to madness while recording a new album. The tale creaks and twists with doom-filled revelations, perfectly tied to Halestorm’s scorching discography. Twins Brittany and Brianna Winner (the Twin Soul series), artist Sara Scalia, cover artist Alison Sampson, and colorist DJ Alonso weave a tale of the celebrated group as they seek refuge in the titular Hyde Manor—a sprawling gothic estate perched on the remote end of the Oregon Coast.
