The Vault Moving to Trade in January

When you've made it to the trade format, you could say you're dealing with certain success. In the case of The Vault, that transition was preceded by a film deal. Why should that stop a TPB though?

Hitting stores January 18 will be The Vault Vol. 1 TPB, collecting the first three issues of the miniseries. Written by Sam Sarkar and illustrated by Garrie Gastonny (edited by Dave Elliot), The Vault is a tale of treasure hunters looking for the big score in the Graveyard of the North Atlantic.

Equipped with all the latest technology, the scientists believe they are prepared against all of nature's fury, but nothing can prepare them for what they are about to unleash.

The 96 page book will set you back $9.99. Full press release after the jump.
