BloodRayne turns 25 with a Kickstarter comic, Night Channels merch and a collection update

Ziggurat Interactive is marking Rayne's birthday with three pieces of BloodRayne news. The twist is that only one of them is a game: the half-human, half-vampire heroine is also getting a new comic series and her own clothing line.

First up, a new BloodRayne comic collection is headed to Kickstarter, produced with Roditeli Productions. That's the studio whose SWAT Kats campaign raised more than $1,000,000 from over 7,000 backers, the biggest single-issue comic Kickstarter of all time. The pre-launch page is live now, and the campaign is set to launch in the first quarter of 2027 to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary.

The new BloodRayne comic series launches on Kickstarter in early 2027.

Kevin Roditeli (POSTAL, SWAT Kats) writes and BRÄO (The Crow) draws the main story, with expanded-universe tales by Felipe Cagno. Backers can expect Kickstarter-exclusive editions of issue #1, variant covers by artists still to be revealed, and campaign-only merchandise.

If you'd rather wear your Rayne than read her, Ziggurat's first-ever merchandise collaboration is a limited capsule from Night Channels, an independent label that has spent 15 years making fan-designed shirts for horror and cult film devotees.

“We grew up with Rayne. She was goth, she was dangerous, and she never apologized for either”

— Jed Hamilton, Creative Director, Night Channels
