Victory has faced the consequences of a lifetime of bad decisions, but now she must survive her greatest challenge yet, as she fights for both her life and the Belial ring that has possessed her soul. But it turns out that there is an enemy far greater than the demonic forces of Belialah that threaten Victory — and it will stop at nothing to destroy her!

As if being cursed with the ring of the demon Belial wasn’t bad enough for Victory, now she’s being chased by demons who want the very same ring that she can’t get rid of — making for unpleasant irony and lots of that brimstone smell. Speaking of smell, Victory is escorted to the P.U. (Purgatory Department — no, not that Purgatori) by her new colleagues, Lucy Fuhr and Gaye Briel. There, she gets some face-to-face time with the big boss himself — the Devil!

Victory is a pawn of greater forces no more! From Vampirella’s fiftieth anniversary to her very own series! She started as Vampirella’s lover and ended up a very powerful pawn of Vampi’s mother, Lilith. Along the way, Victory’s made new friends, seen countless horrors, been saddled with a demon’s ring that she can’t get rid of, encountered the ghost of an old friend, and opened too many dimensional gateways to count. Despite that, there’s so much that we don’t know about Victory, like what her childhood was like. Or what she’s been doing with her demon ring and the crazy powers it has granted. Or which old — well, foe wouldn’t exactly be the right word — is about to show up to cheer her on. From writer David F. Walker (Compass, Young Justice, Naomi) and artist Brett Weldele (The Beauty, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?).
This summer the Vampirella franchise welcomes another new series and an exciting new path for one of its newest stars, as Victory gets the spotlight with writer David F. Walker and artist Brett Weldele this June!
First introduced in the mythos-shattering Vampirella #0 on Free Comic Book Day 2019, fans were introduced to Victoria Harris by Christopher Priest and Ergün Gündüz. The gorgeous African American woman came into Vampirella’s life and alongside other newcomers, set her on quite the roller coaster ride. The two were briefly lovers, and Victoria found herself enamored by Vampi’s remarkable abilities – and even her iconic costume. Along the way she’s since been bestowed with a cursed, demonic ring and turned against her friend by Lilith, the mother of Drakulon.
This summer Eisner-winning writer David F. Walker and Brett Weldele are leveling up Victory from a pawn in the grand game, to a major player. With a stunning white variation on the classic Vampirella costume, and her newly granted powers, how will she leave her own mark on the world, good or bad? Fans will also get to see which old foe (or friend..?) is about to show up to cheer her on.
Now with each page dedicated to the character’s individual story, readers will get a much deeper look at Victory in and out of the costume. The series will dive into nuggets of both her past and present, including her largely unrevealed traumatic childhood.
A talented crew of contributors round out the covers available on the first issue and series. Dave Johnson, Bryan Hitch, Ariel Diaz, Carla Cohen, and Geebo Vigonte all do covers. Cosplayer Alicia Marie also portrays Victory for the character’s first dedicated cosplay cover, with fan-favorite Rachel Hollon guest starring too for double the fun!
BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at The Approach #4, the penultimate issue of a turbulent new horror series from writers Jeremy Haun and Jason A.

Available February 1, 2023.
To Mac and Abi’s horror, the monster grows in size with each victim it consumes! Amongst the carnage, one terrifying question remains…who or what brought this creature to their doorstep? Can they discover the secrets of its origins? And do they hold the key to stopping its hellish rampage?
The Approach #4features main cover art by series creator Haun, and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Megan Hutchison with Dee Cunniffe, and Corin Howell.
