Vault Comics Announces New Catholic Horror Series ‘Excommunicated’

by Olly MacNamee
Vault Comics has announced a new horror series, Excommunicated, by New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Robinson artist Tiago Palma, colourist Manuel J. Rodriguez, letterer Jim Campbell, and designer Tim Daniel. Astory that “weaves an intricate web of sinister mystery, horror, action, and demonic collusion”. And, I dare say, a good serving of Catholic guilt. Especially as it features a “faithful nun” who, I imagine, will be tempted by evil forces at some point. They usually are. But enough about my speculation, here’s the synopsis, Robinson’s accompanying statements and a first look:
 
 
In Excommunicated, a faithful nun and a festering demon are excommunicated from the church—and from hell—because of a botched exorcism, and they must work together to uncover a sinister plot that endangers their lives and the world.
 
“My whole life I’ve been what people call ‘steeped in the Bible.’ I’ve incorporated this knowledge into my novels the way I do other religions and mythologies, but I really wanted to use my recent discoveries regarding original translations of the Biblical texts that fundamentally change the game—specifically concerning the satan (yes, lowercase) and the strange beings known as Elohim. Me being me, I wrote a story that is sinister, action-packed, and funny, but made even cooler by a supernatural backdrop far more interesting than what we’ve all been taught in Sunday school and by Hollywood.
After working with Tiago Palma, Manual Rodriguez, and Jim Campbell on other comics, I knew they were the dream team for Excommunicated and they delivered in spades, perfectly capturing the characters, Boston locations, demonic horrors, and…maybe a little gore. The result is a book that I’m very proud of and super excited for people to read. It’s weird to be a fan of something I played a part in creating, but I am a fan of Sister Josephine and Edimmu!” – writer Jeremy Robinson

Excommunicated #1 will be out in May 2026, with covers by artists including Joshua Hixson, Tyler Crook, Palma, Ito, Robinson, and more.
