A famous “scream queen” actress is missing, and Elvira and Vincent Price join forces again to find her… even if it means literally breaking the fourth wall, and entering the world of a slasher movie. Can the Mistress of the Dark save the Final Girl before a sadistic director traps her forever in a digital nightmare? Meta-thrills, chills and bad puns from writer David Avallone (Bettie Page, Drawing Blood) and Juan Samu!

Draculina’s secret origin begins in an ancient tower more than four centuries ago where her mother Lilith, desperate to free her people from ruthless oppressors, made a deal with the demon Belial to bear his children. Now, as Katie—Draculina’s human alter-ego—lays dying, the mystery of Draculina’s two lives is revealed as two sides of the same woman struggle for control. Meanwhile Belial, now retired from the demon business, has been alerted to Draculina’s presence in this prime reality, and seeks to regain control over his rebellious stepchild.

Poor Bettie Page has barely finished up her latest adventure and gotten back to modeling when duty calls once more! Seems there’s something funny going on in a place called Area 51, and it’s up to Bettie to investigate! There’s a catch this time, though—the United States military might be putting Bettie on the case, but they can’t avow the existence of said case—or Bettie! Instead, our marvelous model is given a crack team of assistants to help her go where no woman has gone before! Fresh off scribing Bettie Page and the Bigfoot Bandits, this spaceship is steered with a purpose by fan-favorite Ani-Mia and illustrated with only the finest stardust by Celor (Hack/Slash vs. Chaos!, Kiss: The Phantom Obsession)!

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

We Live: Age of Palladions Black #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Broken Eye #1 (Scout Comics) – A young man can see the past and gets pulled into a conspiracy when he finds a hand floating in the river.

Captain Carter #1 (Marvel) – Captain Carter has always had fans but now so many more after a star making turn in Marvel Studios’ What If…? It’ll be interesting to see what this series delivers and how much of the center stage Marvel plans on putting her.

Devil’s Reign #5 (Marvel) – Was this issue spoiled in Daredevil: Women Without Fear #3? You’ll have to read it and find out! It’s been a solid event so far and here’s hoping it nails it in the landing.

Little Monsters #1 (Image Comics) – Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen telling the story of a group of child vampires? Yeah, we’re in for this one.

Naomi Season Two #1 (DC Comics) – Naomi has blown up with her on show on The CW. The first volume of this series was fantastic and we’re beyond excited to see where this one goes now she’s a member of the Justice League.

Perhapanauts: Triangle #1 (Scout Comics) – It’s a brand-new time traveling adventure!

Punisher #1 (Marvel) – The Punisher has been a bit mixed in direction over the years and the latest has him as a major player in the Hand. Will this one work for the character?

Radiant Red #1 (Image Comics) – The world of Radiant Black expands further with a five-issue miniseries.

Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1 (Marvel) – We’ve gotten to see Spider-Man around the multiverse. It’s Spider-Gwen’s turn!

We Live: Age of Palladions Black #1/We Live: Age of Palladions White #1 (AfterShock) – We Live’s first volume was fantastic. It’s six years later and we’re beyond excited to return to this world. It has a high bar to reach but we’re confident both of these issues will be solid entertainment.
