NYCC 2025: Vampirella Warms Fans This Winter With Action-Packed Special!

Posted on by

She’s perhaps most at home in the Halloween season, close to when Dynamite is sharing this news, but the Daughter of Drakulon is a year-round superstar in comics! And this winter she’s getting ready to warm the hearts of fans with another action-packed special from the rising creative duo of Liam Johnson and Jordan Michael Johnson this January.

The Vampirella Winter Special features 28 stunning pages of the story “Young Blood.” When a patrolling Vampi flying high above the rooftops of New York City is ambushed and entrapped by way of hundreds of tranquilizer rounds, her latest mysterious adventure is just kicking off. She quickly realizes that an enigmatic and conniving billionaire has captured her and plans to extract her supernatural blood resources for his own pursuit of timeless aesthetics and eternal life.

If everyone’s beloved vampiric antiheroine can escape her bonds, she’ll still have a serious fight on her hands if she’s ever to escape from the deep sub-basement she’s found herself in. Along the way, she’ll come blow to blow with all manner of foes, from armed guards to feral vampires enslaved for the same purposes as her. When she finally gets the opportunity to confront her maniacal captor, a question remains if her blood transfusions simply restored his youth, or if more is afoot…

This seasonal special follows the Johnson and Johnson (no familial relation to each other or any corporations) duo’s collaboration on the Vampirella Halloween Horror project. As their next Vampi epic is being announced, fans can pick up their latest from the racks of their favorite retailers. 

This upcoming deluxe release is complemented by four fantastic covers by Mike Rooth, Joseph Michael Linsner, Celina, and fan-favorite cosplayer Joanie Brosas.

Vampirella Stares Into Her Dark Reflections!

Posted on by

Dynamite has announced a brand new series in the Vampirella mythos, spearheaded by one of the most beloved franchise creators and a reunited team, and an epic that jumps headlong into the multiverse of malevolence. Vampirella: Dark Reflections debuts this June everywhere comics are sold! Tom Sniegoski is back once more and teams up again with co-writer Jeannine Acheson as well as interior artist Daniel Maine for another blockbuster following their work together on Vampiverse and The Vamp.

The smash hit Vampiverse event introduced fans to the idea of overflowing, infinite possibilities of Vampirella. Different versions of the character in different realities, and subject to bleed into each other. In Dark Reflections, an unexpected protagonist steps to the forefront to figure out what has happened to one of these multiversal Vampirellas. Her own daughter Lilith goes through the looking glass, tasked with investigating an anomaly in the Fabric. Working for the Reality Corp., she learns that the Vampirella of this reality has gone eerily silent, broken and beaten by the spawn of Chaos in the battle of good and evil.

It’s an unexpected team-up, as Vampirellas across generations and with vastly difference experiences try to set things right. Lilith must revive and restore this iteration of her own mother to the valiant warrior of Order that she once was and is meant to be. The title reflects this darker take on the franchise, as fans get to know a darker and troubled Vampirella who has lost everything. While the vision of Vampirella is also reflected in her own daughter Lilith, shaped by her own darkness.

In addition to this all-star squad reporting in, Dark Reflections features a who’s who of top cover artists. Jenny Frison makes her heralded return to the character, and with an absolute show-stopper to lead off the series. She’s joined by Lucio Parrillo, Jay Anacleto, Joseph Michael Linsner, and cosplay covers, with the first featuring the fan-favorite Joanie Brosas.
