Fans of the critically acclaimed, neo-noir Western That Texas Blood have reason to celebrate. Image Comics has announced that creators Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips are returning to the series with an all-new, six-issue arc titled That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch, set to debut on September 23, 2026.
The original series is currently being developed for a drama series at FX by Sweet Tooth showrunner Jim Mickle and E.L. Katz, adding even more anticipation to the franchise’s return.
Set in 2003, the new arc brings Sheriff Joe Bob Coates and Deputy Wilson Hart to the Allison Ranch—the largest and wealthiest ranch in the United States—where deep-seated family grievances are escalating into a full-blown war. Condon describes the arc as “action-packed,” noting that while it has strong thematic links to previous volumes and The Enfield Gang Massacre, it also serves as a perfect jumping-on point for new readers.
“Joe Bob’s back and it feels so good!” Phillips said regarding the return. “Coming back to That Texas Blood feels like coming home to us and we’ve missed it after so long away.“
The creative team is expanding for this new chapter, welcoming letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and designer Michael Tivey to the fold. In addition to the main story, the debut issue promises a wealth of bonus material, including behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and essays.
To celebrate the release, Image Comics is also launching a special Facsimile edition of the original series debut, printed on deluxe newsprint for an authentic experience.
You can pick up That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch #1 at local comic shops starting September 23, 2026.
