  "account": "Image Comics has introduced a new series titled Vampire on Aisle 6, a distinctive take on the horror genre. This miniseries is the collaborative effort of Zoe Thorogood, a rising comics star known for her work on It's Lonely at the Center of the Earth, and Joe Whiteford, a cartoonist and musician. The story follows Luka, who considers himself a vampire but finds himself confined within a mascot-themed supermarket during a long day with no sunset. Luka starts to show typical vampire traits like a craving for blood, a distorted reflection, and an aversion to sunlight. The series, described by Thorogood as a \"comics + album,\" delves into the themes of sudden transformation and the loneliness that comes with it. Image Comics is expecting readers to embrace an unconventional vampire tale where \"It's All Just Meat.\" The first issue of Vampire on Aisle 6 will be available for pre-order on December 23 and can be found at local comic book stores.",
