"There's a lot to like about this town. The friendly locals. The arts and culture. The beautiful scenery. But if there's one thing about Santa Carla I never could stomach...it's all the damn vampire hunters."
— David
The Lost Boys - The Lost Girl comic is a 2016 follow-up to the film of the same name.
Four weeks after the deaths of Max, David and the other Lost Boys, Sam, Michael, Star and Laddie have moved on with their lives. But Santa Carla isn't completely rid of vampires just yet. A hidden coven has stirred awake and is plotting to cause more havoc, aided by a familiar foe.
Star's allegiances are tested by these "lost girls", while Sam and the Frog brothers try to rally the Santa Carla vampire hunters to action. But when the vampire hunters are all wiped out, they'll need to call on help from an unlikely source. A source that still believes.
