(W) Brian Hawkins (A/CA) Sami Kivela. THE VINEYARD is a family-owned winery that sows and reaps by the blessing of the great god of wine and revelry* Dionysus. However* the Vines family's patron god requires complete devotion in the form of four sacrificial killings a year before each harvest. This has been done in unfettered obeisance. But all of that changed when the family's patriarch* Didache Vines* was in a horrible accident that left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Now* the sacrificial and murderous duties of the Vines family have fallen to wife and matriarch* Maranatha Vines. With harvest season fast approaching and the family short of their annual sacrificial killings* Maranatha's struggle with her conscience puts all of her family - husband* son and daughter - in jeopardy. Written by Brian Hawkins (Black Cotton* Believe in the Name* Don't Ever Blink) and illustrated by Sami Kivel (THE HEATHENS* UNDONE BY BLOOD* Abbott)* THE VINEYARD is what happens when family values and otherworldly obligations collide.
