Image Comics Announces Sequel Series 'That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch'

Image Comics has announced a new sequel series titled "That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch." The series is a continuation of the critically acclaimed neo-noir Western "That Texas Blood," created by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips. The original comic is also in development as a live-action FX television series.

"That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch" will see the return of Sheriff Joe Bob Coates. The storyline for the new series, set on March 19, 2003, involves Coates and Deputy Wilson Hart responding to an escalating conflict at the Allison Ranch, which is described as the largest and wealthiest ranch in the United States.

The debut issue of "That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch" will include bonus materials. These additions feature a new in-universe cartoon by Joe Bob's son, an era-specific political cartoon by Matt Bors, a serialized interview with Spencer Ackerman, and an interview with Jim Mickle and E.L. Katz, the writers adapting "That Texas Blood" for television.

Chris Condon noted that he and Jacob Phillips aimed to deliver an expanded package for the new release, working with new teammates Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and Michael Tivey. Jacob Phillips added that the oversized first issue is designed to be accessible for new readers while welcoming back existing fans to Ambrose County.

"That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch #1" is scheduled for release on September 23 and will be available for pre-order at local comic shops.
