DAWN VAMPIRELLA (2014)

"Our story begins when the silver tongued demon Masodik tricks and kidnaps both Dawn and Vampirella, written and drawn by Dawn creator Joseph Michael Linsner! He tells them that they are the 2 most beautiful women in all of the worlds, these two 'Bad Girls'. Their demon host demands a cat fight to see who is best suited to his purposes, but the ladies suggest something more feminine -- a storytelling contest. Together they take us to the bloody shores of Draculon, to post-apocalyptic New York and to worlds beyond imagination. Only Ravana knows what rewards and punishment await the winner and the loser in this duel of horror hostesses."

"In 'The Silver Tongue & The Golden Rose,' Vampirella and Dawn - captured by the nefarious demon Masodik - must spin one beguiling tale after another in order to stay alive. Dawn blurs the lines of myth and fantasy by telling the tale of a ruined city plagued by a silver-tongued Gorgon who guards a golden rose. After their father is viciously killed by the Gorgon, two sisters set out to slay it and discover its enchanted secret."

"Dawn and Vampirella start to understand that all the world is a stage as they tell stories while plotting their escape from the demon Masodik. Dawn tells the tale of a young girl who trades her innocence for a greater understanding of the cosmos, and Vampirella tells the story of a girl from a planet where the rivers run red with blood."

"Dawn, self-proclaimed Goddess of birth and rebirth, conspires with her fellow captive Vampirella to find a way to escape their imprisonment at the hands of the nefarious demon Masodik. They trade tales of life and death, of being and nothingness, detailing an endless cycle of death and rebirth. The cosmic rose opens and closes, opens and closes. Dawn is prepared for her next rebirth and all Vampirella wants is her next death (which will hopefully be Masodik's)."

"After being forced to entertain the demon Masodik with wild stories under the threat of death, Vampirella has had more than she can stand. She begins to suspect that her fellow captive Dawn might know more than she is saying. Is Dawn hiding some ace up her sleeve, or is she in league with Masodik? Violence erupts between the two. The demon is thrilled by this, thinking he is getting a front row seat to the fight of the century. Blood flies and roses shatter as Dawn and Vampirella come face to face and confront their differences."
