DRACULINA BLOOD SIMPLE (2022)

Vampirella's hateful, self-absorbed twin is back in a new volume and this time her Vampire Privilege entitlement is failing her as Vampirette, her preteen other-self, has become a literal mirror image of the life she could have had and person should could have become if she wasn't, y'know, Draculina. Also: Lilith has returned and the meddling vampire Mm from Hell is determined to reunite her estranged daughters while Levi, a murderous sea creature, intends to crash the family reunion!

Vampirella is dead, which comes as a real surprise to Vampirella. Women dressed as Vampi are being found murdered in Los Angeles, and Lilith, Vampirella's vampire-sorceress mom, has joined forces with her prodigy Victory to hunt down the obvious suspect-Draculina! Meanwhile, Vampirette, Draculina's preteen alt-self, experiences her first crush while Levi, the mysterious sea hybrid, pursues his agenda of vengeance against them all.

Is Vampirella a "real" person or is she merely a clone of Lilith's first child-Draculina? Drawn to Los Angeles by Draculina's unhinged murder of Vampirella look-alikes, the real Vampi confronts her sister in a struggle to prove Vampi deserves to live! Meanwhile, the family reunion from hell continues with Draculina's half-brother, the mysterious half-man, half-sea creature Levi, triggering a mob war with the murder of the fallen angels known as the Watchers, and taking Vampirette hostage in order to draw the ageless demon Belial out of his "retirement."

Guest-starring Vampirella! The family reunion from hell escalates with Vampi being drawn into her sister's evil scheme. Arriving in Los Angeles to stop Draculina's serial killing of Vampi look-alikes, Vampi finds herself caught in the blood war between fallen angels and the demon Belial, for whom Vampi's mother Lilith gave birth to a legion of monsters. All of the children of Lilith-Draculina, Vampirella, the sea creature Levi and "adopted" children Victory and Vampirette-have been marked for death by this host of vengeful angels (The original Hell's angels...?), which suits Draculina's nihilistic scheme just fine!

The mystery of Draculina's father is revealed to be part of an ancient feud between demons and angels while four (count 'em) distinct visions of Draculina, including Katie the Vampirette and Vampirella's ex-girlfriend Victory, become caught in a tangled web of Vampiverse unreality that pushes O.G. Draculina to the very brink! Is Draculina worth saving and will she stop being a PITA long enough for someone to actually save her?

"WHO WILL BE THE LAST DRACULINA LEFT STANDING? "Blood Simple" reaches its crimson climax with Draculina and Vampirella fighting for their lives within the astral plane known as "The Dark World," where Draculina also confronts a shocking vision of her future. Meanwhile, in the "real" world, Draculina's two "alternate selves" - Katie, the preteen Vampirette, and Lilith's protégé, Victory - find themselves caught up in a literal holy war between demons and angels. Which Draculina (if any) will survive? Find out this August!"
