Van Helsing: Vampire Hunter Kickstarter Coming Next Month

Zenescope is famous for putting their own signature spin on a lot of classic fables, including the Victorian world of vampires and those who hunt them. Their own Liesel Van Helsing is returning in a new miniseries that will be partially funded and promoted through a Kickstarter campaign that launches next month.

The setup is rather simple: Liesel goes after Dracula. What else is she gonna do? “To this day, the Van Helsing name haunts the waking hours of vampires throughout the world,” reads Zenescope’s description. “But, in the late 1800s, at the height of the war of the night in Europe, another name rested on the tongues of humans and bloodsuckers alike, Dracula! Rumors have been growing of his impossible return and Liesel Van Helsing will do anything in her power to put an end to this nightmare that has plagued her family for generations!”

As a preview, Zenescope has let us peek at the four covers that will be offered for this series, one of which you can only get through the campaign….

Standard cover, featuring Liesel in an action pose, surrounded by London fog.

The only cover of the four that doesn’t have Van Helsing on it. We take it this is one of the bad guys.

“Hey! What are YOU doing in here? GET OUT!” (door slam)

Liesel strikes a Castlevania pose as she prepares for a productive day of staking. This is the Kickstarter-exclusive cover.

Zenescope hasn’t announced a specific day for when the campaign will launch, but we will let you know. Van Helsing has starred in many other books already, which can be found in comic book shops and the Zenescope website.
