About The Comic Book Series:
Lia Scott Price’s Vampire Guardian Angels is a creator-owned comic book series written and created by Horror Author Lia Scott Price. In the series, Guardian Angels from Heaven have become Vampires who kill people who pray for help to them, and both humans and “good” angels have to work to stop them.
What are Vampire Guardian Angels?
When you pray to guardian angels, do you know what they are? What if they were a vicious new breed and hybrid of serial killer, angel and vampire who target those who pray for help to them? Because they are tired of protecting us and want to put us out of our misery, by eating, and enslaving us. Don’t pray to them.
The Story:
Rule of Blood introduces a completely new character: Jeromos Dracon, an ancient Estonian prince, Janos's heir.
9 months have passed. On earth, there is a mysterious virus. Male humans lie bleeding in hospitals from a combination of a deadly form of necrotizing flesh eating bacteria that also causes the victim to bleed uncontrollably, attracting earth vampires. They feed on the dying victim, but end up dying themselves. The earth vampires dissolve into pools of blood.
Meanwhile, word of this virus spreads up in Heaven, where Jeromos tries to inform Janos of the plague on Earth. But Janos is furious. Leah killed herself and their unborn child. Jeromos asks Janos what they should do about the plague, and Janos decides to make Jeromos his new heir, because he is a Royal. Janos also explains the secret of how the portal works, that any Angel can open the portal but it requires the death of Angels to provide the safe passage through the astral plane of good and evil through a tunnel of celestial light, and that being the "chosen one" and that only Royals could rule was a political myth and ploy used to become leader of the Vampire Guardian Angels. Janos also reveals how he got into Heaven: After he escaped from the psychiatric ward, he hid in a New York Cathedral. There, he had found the three Vampire Guardian Angels, Zeke, Anthony, and Jude, who Cameron had prevented from ascending, dying, after they wandered around aimlessly, hiding in churches. Because he still had some traces of good in him, Janos killed the three angels, and ascended into Heaven using the portal of light. That had been his plan all along, sent to him in visions: to sacrifice the three Vampire Guardian Angels so he could rule in Heaven and fulfill the prophecy.
Gregory, still on Earth after being wounded by Detectives Graham and Costa, hears of the news of Leah's death from angel statues in a church and, enraged, vows revenge for Leah's death. He blames Janos. He also hears that, left without an heir, Janos chose Jeromos as his alternate heir, because he was a Royal. Gregory decides he wants to unseat Janos and take over leadership, since he still considers Janos a weak ruler, and he has to find a way back to Heaven since Cameron destroyed the portal. The angel statues tell him that Cameron's adopted son, Joseph, is still on Earth. Gregory then decides Joseph is his key to returning to heaven. He plans to kill Joseph and use his ascending spirit to get back into heaven, just like the earth vampire did with Gabriel.
Still on Earth, Joseph also hears the news of Janos's choice of heir from angel statues while visiting his mother's grave, and is overcome with anger. He feels he should take over and should have been mentored by Janos because he feels he is more powerful because of his power of light, but knows he is too young and inexperienced. The angel statues tell him that he is known as the "Angel Killer", but that he must also control his temper and desires for revenge if he wants to rule.
Gregory finds the angry and vengeful Joseph in the cemetery and convinces him to unseat Janos from power. Joseph tells Gregory that he also wants to destroy Cameron for killing his mother and for turning him into a vampire, but he also wants the power that Janos has.
However, while they conspire on Earth, Gregory sees a young Earth Vampire wandering through the cemetery. The human appears weak and frothing bloody saliva at the mouth. begging for help and crying out that he is sick and for his someone to save him. Gregory, seeing opportunity for a meal, kills the young man and feeds off him, since Vampire Guardian Angels can feed off other Vampires too. Joseph just watches. But Gregory suddenly drops the man and starts dissolving. After Gregory dies, turning into a pool of blood, Joseph spreads his wings and follows the ball of light up back to heaven. He did what Gabriel did, hitching a ride to heaven like the earth vampire did.
Back in Heaven, Joseph demands to see Janos. Janos, surprised and concerned, angrily demands how Joseph got to heaven and Joseph tells him about Gregory's death and about Cameron being like a father to him, and what Cameron did to Christina and that it was Cameron who but him, and that he wants revenge. Janos tells Joseph Cameron is their prisoner. Janos then orders an infected human brought. He explains the plague and that Gregory had drank from an infected Earth Vampire. Because of his ties to Cameron, who Janos calls the killer of angels, Janos demands Joseph demonstrate his loyalty and to gain Janos's trust, Janos forces Joseph to drink from the infected man. Joseph at first hesitates, but does so, and Janos, pleased, reveals that the man is not infected after all.
Janos then orders only vampire guardian angels can breed with females who are believers and who pray because only the male humans are infected. Then they can continue to have food and maintain their hold over the Earth Vampires. Chained human and vampire women are being held prisoner for Janos’s breeding program, to create more angels and an uninfected food source. Vampire Guardian Angels can produce only male offspring with human and vampire women due to their celestial powers. But the women must be believers in angels to be bred, which is why the Church must be involved to create more “believers”. Those uninfected women who are not chosen to breed become food. The male young will be harvested. Some will be killed off to create more angels who will ascend to Heaven with their own portals and turned into Vampire Guardian Angels. (The very young can be killed off by any angel since they are considered “innocents”.) Others, most likely the weak ones, will be fed to both Earth Vampires and Vampire Guardian Angels.
Janos says he will send both Joseph and Jeromos to earth immediately along with several vampire guardian angels through the still-open portal of light created through Gregory's ascent to form an alliance with a militant branch of the Catholic church to frighten people into praying more, breeding more, and to use the churches to house the captive humans to feed to the Guardians, just like they did during the time of the inquisition. Joseph is reluctant to return to earth but tells himself he needs to get rid of Jeromos first. Then he will use Jeromos's ascending spirit to get back into heaven.
Janos sees an opportunity forming as well. Vampire Guardian Angels being killed by the plague on Earth are ascending in balls of light, providing a chance for the Angels in Heaven to descend to Earth without burning. But he still needs to raise an army on Earth. Too many Angels are dying and the Vampire Guardian Angels need to regroup and repopulate before they can take over, and they need to get rid of the plague.
Jeromos secretly wants take over Janos's reign. He also wants to chose a new Queen, and a new legitimate heir. He is also suspicious of Joseph and does not want him to take over. As a distraction, he sends Joseph to Detective Costa, who is dating the author Ms. Price, to find out more about the plague, and tells Joseph to tell Costa that Cameron sent him and that he needs his help. In the meantime, Jeromos quickly leaves the police station to raise an army through the Church, and kidnaps Ms. Price. Jeromos wants her because she is their "creator" who brought the Vampire Guardian Angels "to life" with her belief in the existence of them, which gave them a supernatural power and awakening, and also because her own blood supposedly holds power that rejuvenates them, which explains why she was able to make them come to life. Jeromos has researched her background and found she does have royal blood, which makes her part of the prophecy (and hints that she may in fact be immortal). Jeromos plans to use Ms. Price to create his own new dynasty.
Costa tells Joseph that through his contact Catharina, the vampire Cameron saved from Gabriel, and who saved Joseph they learn that the earth vampires have found that healthy bodily fluids from a non-infected human will instantly heal them. To heal themselves, they must hang adult humans up on meat hooks and slice them open and shower in their blood, just like Janos's mother Elizabeth Bathory used to. Costa's contact Catharina takes both Joseph and Costa to a warehouse in Long Beach, CA, where this is taking place.
Costa, Joseph, and Catharina are surprised by guards from the Church, led by Jeromos wearing a mysterious necklace that looks like a vial of blood mixed with gold, and who announces the guards as his holy army sent by powerful church leaders. Jeromos orders the guards to kill them.
But they are shielded by someone. It's Cameron, who escaped from Janos and Heaven and descended without the portal to save him and is now smoking and burning and transforming, with skin peeling off.
Jeromos attacks Joseph but Catharina saves him ones again, and dies. Joseph tries to burn Jeromos with his power of light but Jeromos disappears. Cameron, horribly burned, disappears again, presumably to go after Jeromos.
Now Jeromos and Joseph are enemies, fighting for leadership. Costa vows to rescue the author from Jeromos, and Joseph vows to find Jeromos, kill him, and use his ascending spirit to get back into Heaven and destroy Janos.

Lia Scott Price’s Vampire Guardian Angels is a creator-owned comic book series written and created by Horror Author Lia Scott Price. In the series, Guardian Angels from Heaven have become Vampires who kill people who pray for help to them, and both humans and “good” angels have to work to stop them.
What are Vampire Guardian Angels?
When you pray to guardian angels, do you know what they are? What if they were a vicious new breed and hybrid of serial killer, angel and vampire who target those who pray for help to them? Because they are tired of protecting us and want to put us out of our misery, by eating, and enslaving us. Don’t pray to them.
The Story:
The comic book starts off with a flashback to Joseph as a young child and how he and Cameron were responsible for Gabriel's death, and how he sent Gabriel back to Heaven with a mysterious power of light. It also reveals and gives a back story on how Cameron became a Vampire (from Dominion, Book 3), and how he acted as Joseph's stepfather while dating his mother Christina. Cameron follows Gabriel through the portal of light that remained after Gabriel ascended to deliver him back to Heaven. However, he finds that Heaven has been invaded by a Vampire, and that Gabriel has rapidly turned into a Vampire. Gabriel proceeds to bite all the other angels, turning them into Vampires. Heaven becomes a bloody mess. Gabriel bites Cameron, who falls back to Earth through the still-open portal, sparing him from burning up.
But Gabriel tries to follow without the portal, and as the light dies, he burns but survives, becoming horribly disfigured. Gabriel has a reason to risk the descent and go back, because he wants to kill Joseph. He wants revenge.
Cameron is united with Christina, but he ends up turning into a Vampire and killing her. Cameron ends up biting a young Joseph in his sleep.
Years later, Joseph is visiting his mother's grave, and has been searching for his mother's killer for years and suffers from anger issues. Gabriel later finds and attacks Joseph in a nightclub, but is saved by an Earth Vampire named Catharina, who distracts Gabriel, and by Kirkland, who sacrifices his life to save Joseph from Gabriel. Catharina reveals to Joseph that she is a Vampire and that Joseph is also a Vampire, and that he is also a "legend" among the Vampires and Vampire Guardian Angels as a "Killer of Angels" because of his power to send Angels back to "the light". Gabriel later attacks Catharina but is saved by Cameron.
Cameron later meets Joseph back at Christina's grave and reveals that he accidentally killed Christina, turned Joseph into a Vampire, and begs for Joseph's forgiveness. He tells Joseph that he acted as Joseph's stepfather and protector since he fell to Earth and even though he became a Vampire, he still secretly watched over Joseph. Cameron also tells Joseph about Janos and his plans to take over Earth, and that Joseph had a choice: stop Janos and protect humans as Cameron was doing, or become a potential ruler of the Vampire Guardian Angels. Angered, Joseph's strange power of light that he used to send Gabriel back to Heaven comes back, and he tries to destroy Cameron with it, but sees a vision of his mother and stops.
Cameron tells Joseph that his power can stop Gabriel. Joseph and Cameron soon confront Gabriel. Using his growing power of light, Joseph once again manages to turn Gabriel into a ball of light, but Gabriel disappears, not ascending. Cameron, who sacrificed himself to save Joseph, is dying, and Joseph seems to have forgiven him. He turns Cameron into a ball of light and Cameron is allowed to ascend back to Heaven, saving his own life.
At the end of the story, Joseph finally bares his fangs, revealing himself to still be angry at Cameron, and he seems to make a choice between whose side he plans to be on. Although it is assumed that Joseph destroyed Gabriel, a pair of mysterious glowing eyes is seen in the darkness.

A Very Disturbing Guardian Angel
My comic series features a vampire that’s new, different, brutal, and refreshingly original.
And they are born of a disturbing concept: That your Guardian Angel, when you pray to it, turns out to have become a unique new breed of Vampire. Deadly, bloody and brutal.
Guardian Angels as Killer Vampires? You bet!
They are the deadliest Guardian Angels you will ever encounter.
Embrace the gore.

Why Your Guardian Angel Became a Vampire
Why turn Guardian Angels into Vampires? Why not? Guardian Angels could really be evil. And they really, really hate us. Because we whine to them constantly. They're sick of answering our prayers. So they are also serial killers who hunt you down by listening to who prays in despair to them.
We are addicted to the idea of having supernatural saviors.... and it sucks when our "loving, protective" Guardian Angels turn on us humans.
Supernatural "saviors" turn out to be vicious vampires.
How did Guardian Angels become Vampires? Read the Comic Book Series!

2 Big Reasons NOT to pray to a Guardian Angel
Did you whine to your Guardian Angel lately? Pray to them for help? Guess who answers.
When was the last time you prayed for help to your Guardian Angel? You may not want to.
Two Big Reasons NOT to pray to a Guardian Angel:
1) They're sick and tired of answering prayers. They don't want to be your therapist or problem-solver anymore.
2) They are Vampires now. They'd rather eat you than help you.
Meet a new breed of Vampire: Guardian Angels. Pray to them, and you become prey. That's the premise behind my comic books.
Your prayer of despair is a homing device....for a hungry Vampire Guardian Angel.
Be careful who you pray to. Your Guardian Angel: now a bloodthirsty Vampire.

Not Your Ordinary Vampire
Meet a new breed of Vampire and a different twist in the genre. A new original kind of vicious, brutal, bloody Vampire: deadly with a surprising twist on what they are.
They are Guardian Angels with Fangs, and "Issues".
Lia Scott Price's Vampire Guardian Angels are a new type of Serial Killer and a new breed of Vampire. Pray for help to one, you die. They kill and eat you instead of help you. Because they are sick and tired of answering your prayers. They're not therapists.
But they are badly in need of therapy themselves, because they suffer from PTSD (trauma from ancient martyrdom), and work fatigue (trying to keep up with all our prayers to them.)
Vampire Guardian Angels can't keep up with human whining. This is how they deal with it. Through anger, gore, and releasing their inner psychosis.
How did Lia come up with her characters?: She challenges the popular belief that Guardian Angels are good protectors: What if they aren't good? Why not turn them into something evil, like a Serial Killer, and a Vampire?
Yep, Vampire Guardian Angels. Go Ahead. Pray to one. You'll make a great meal. Find out how brutal they are.
