Ex Posse’s vampire-themed Night of the Cadillacs centers on a member of a supernatural gang who leaves his crew to go on the run with a human woman. The studio hopes to build out a universe based on the concept. Earlier this year, Ex Posse released a three-part spinoff, Lip Stick Cliqa, which will be the first adaptation worked on under the Sony deal. Development on that project would not take place until after the writers and actors strike end.

Lip Stick Cliqua, hailing from writer Kayden Phoenix and artist Gershon Villamor, focuses on a female Vampire chola gang in the midst of a turf battle. The company, which styles themselves as a “punk rock Marvel,” has already adapted one of its properties for the screen.
