‘That Texas Blood’ Returns To Bring Hell To Allison Ranch This June From Image Comics

Writer Chris Condon and artist Jacob Phillips have been busy beavers the past few months (and years), but they’re back on the title that made their names: That Texas Blood returns for issue #21 this June from Image Comics.

“Well… we’re back! Joe Bob returns, this time for a story set in 2003 that we like to call ‘Hell Comes to Allison Ranch.’ It’s our most action-packed story arc yet with strong thematic links to two of our previous, fan-favorite outings—That Texas Blood volume one and The Enfield Gang Massacre,” said Condon via press release. “While this new arc has some connections to our past stories, it’s also a great place for readers unfamiliar with Ambrose County or its inhabitants to jump on, and Jacob and I are excited to bring some new collaborators along with us, too. We are so excited to be adding letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and designer Michael Tivey to the That Texas Blood ranks. With the team we have assembled on this book, and the story we have to tell, I think this may just be the best That Texas Blood story yet.”

Added Phillips, “Joe Bob’s back and it feels so good! Coming back to That Texas Blood feels like coming home to us and we’ve missed it after so long away. We return with a brand new story arc, ‘Hell Comes To Allison Ranch.’ A heist gone wrong on the biggest ranch in the US on the night of the invasion of Iraq. This story is the perfect jumping on point for new readers and a warm welcome back for the regulars. So slip on your favourite pair of jeans, grab a can of Doyers and settle in. It’s gonna be one hell of a ride.”

In the new arc, per PR, “Sheriff Joe Bob Coates and Deputy Wilson Hart are called to the Allison Ranch—the largest and richest ranch in the United States—where family grievances are blooming into full-blown war.” And not only will the new issue sport multiple covers, Image will also release a facsimile edition of the first issue of the title on deluxe newsprint, so you can get your fingers all smudged up like we did back when comics were good harumph harumph I’m old.

That Texas Blood #21 hits stores on June 3, 2026. Check out covers by Jacob Phillips, Martin Simmonds, Luana Vecchio and a black sketch cover below, as well as three preview pages.
