''Vampire: The Masquerade: Winter's Teeth'' is a comic book by Creator/TimSeeley, Tini Howard, and Blake Howard. It is published by Vault comics and is set in the Franchise/OldWorldOfDarkness with the TabletopGame/VampireTheMasqueradeFifthEdition rules for its setting.

The story follows two vampires in the Twin Cities (Saint Paul and Minneapolis). Cecily Bain is a former Anarch turned
servant of the Camarilla, trading flawless service in exchange for more freedom than most. Her sister's dementia and the weight of years is slowly driving her mad and she adopts a newly created vampire named Alejandra. Colleen Pendergrass is a Thin Blooded Anarch embraced by her Husband against her will. She now is part of a group of struggling survivors living on the edge of Kindred society.

----

This series contains the following tropes:

* AllThereInTheManual: The NPC write-ups for both Cecily and Colleen are in the back of the first issue.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Cecily murders the girlfriend of a Kindred, Cordell, in order to protect the Masquerade, sadistically taunting him with the fact she never would have revealed the truth to anyone else.
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Cecily murders Cordell's girlfriend before his eyes and taunts him about it before telling him to get back to work for the Camarilla. Cordell then becomes an Anarch and makes any and all promises comiscerate on the death of Cecily.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Colleen is the only vampire who fits this trope, being a Thin Blood who can subsist on animal and bagged blood.
* MonsterHunter: The Second Inquisition shows up in issue 2# [[spoiler: and takes out Colleen's coterie.]]
* MoralityPet:
** Possibly verging on a MoralityChain. Cecily's sister is the only thing in the world she cares about and she's dying of Alheizmers. She seems to be trying to make another with Alejandra despite the fact vampires make poor ones in 5th Edition.
** Colleen is the MoralityPet of her Anarch coterie. The Anarch coterie is hers, especially her husband.
* RedOniBlueOni: Cecily is a jaded, nihilistic, and sadistic vampire who has given up all of her idealism to become exactly the sort of monster she used to fight. Colleen is an idealistic, even friendly, young woman dealing with problems beyond her control.
* VampireMonarch: Prince Samantha Merrain is the ruler of the Twin Cities.
* VillainProtagonist: Cecily is evil. There's no two ways about it. A DownplayedTrope example as all the characters are vampires and only one seems to be a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire.
