You’ll get all of this in exposition dumps in the first half of the first issue. Not all vampires are fond of the Camarilla (or, perhaps, they just don’t like the who ended up in charge of their city) to the point of rebellion these vampires are Anarchs.

If you’re new to Vampire: The Masquerade (and, if so, welcome aboard), the general premise is that vampires (they tend to refer to themselves as Kindred) are real, there are a variety of types (“clans”) of them, they have a ruling structure known as the Camarilla where power is generally localized to a city within that city is centralized in the person of a Prince (the title is Prince whether or not the holder of the title is male). Winter’s Teeth, Book One collects the first five issues of the series (as I’m writing this, issue #7 has been released). Winter’s Teeth, on the other hand, is a more traditional comic with an ongoing story that’s unique to the comic. The 1990’s Vampire comics were one-shots themed around a vampire clan (“Toreador,” “Ventrue,” etc.) or a signature character (Lucita, Beckett, Theo Bell, etc.).

Vampire: The Masquerade – Winter’s Teeth, Book One isn’t the first Vampire: The Masquerade comic, but I do believe it’s the first one in more than two decades.
