Victory Trade Paperback

writer: David F. Walker
artist: Brett Weldele
cover: Carla Cohen
FC | 120 pages | Adventure | $19.99 | Teen+

Victory arrived on the scene as Vampirella’s lover, and ended up a very powerful pawn of Vampi’s mother, Lilith. Along the way, she’s made new friends, seen countless horrors, and been saddled with a demon’s ring that she can’t get rid of (but which has granted her some nifty powers). Despite all that, there’s still a lot that we don’t know about Victory, like what her childhood was like, what she’s been doing with her newfound powers — and why so many demons are trying to kill her to gain possession of her Belial ring. Luckily for us, all those questions (and more!) are answered in this invaluable new volume collecting all five issues of the enlightening series from writer DAVID F. WALKER (Compass, Young Justice, Naomi) and artist BRETT WELDELE (The Beauty, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)!

Vampirella #671

writer: Christopher Priest
artist: Iván F. Silva
covers: Lucio Parrillo (A), Elias Chatzoudis (B), Carla Cohen (C), Cosplay / Rachel Hollon (D)
FC | All Cardstock Covers | 32 pages | Horror | $4.99 | Teen+

Following the shattering events of issue #670, Draculina is compelled to switch realities with her evil alternative self Katie, and is imprisoned in the astral plane known as “The Dark World” — where she is hunted through the streets of 1969 New York City by malicious creatures she herself created as a child!

The Dark World, which responds to the subconscious of those trapped within it, has produced a hell of Draculina’s own making. But one of the living constructs who seem to exist only to torment her may hold the key to her survival!

Written by comics legend CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and illustrated by special guest artist IVÁN F. SILVA, Vampirella #671 opens a dark new chapter for the Daughters of Drakulon — and features appropriately atmospheric covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, CARLA COHEN, ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

Vampirella has finally gotten everything she wants in life — love, community, purpose — only to realize that it’s all a lie. Now she has to make the hardest decision she’s ever faced: she can either restore reality and lose everything and everyone she loves, or embrace the lie and take the consequences — no matter how dire they may be. One way or the other, life will never again be the same for the Daughter of Drakulon!

Master comics craftsmen CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ crank up the tension — and take another step closer to the historic issue #700 — in Vampirella #670, complemented by covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, CARLA COHEN, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!
