VAMPIRELLA (2025)

The team of Christopher Priest and Ergun Gunduz returns as "The Long Night" begins! Vampirella's infant son, stolen by her evil twin Draculina, has finally been returned to her. But Vampi does not know the baby, has not bonded with him and, lost and alone, begins spiraling into postpartum depression. A mysterious figure named Cicero arrives, claiming to be Vampirella's infant son somehow transported 40+ years back from a dark future wherein Vampirella, consumed by bitterness, has become The Witch of Ashthorne, a ruthless matriarch responsible for a nuclear holocaust. Having finally rescued her baby from Draculina, Cicero begs Vampirella, for his sake and the sake of the world, to give the infant back.

Unable to cope with the emotional distress of postpartum depression, Vampirella begins to devolve into a dark psychosis, imagining the best future for her infant son is perhaps no future at all. Meanwhile, the mysterious stranger claiming to be Cicero, Vampirella's infant son somehow transported back from half a century in the future, provides a glimpse of that dark future to Vampirella's therapist, Doc Chary, to whom Cicero has turned for help.

THE SACRED SIX RETURN! With her postpartum depression raging and her infant son inconsolable, an overwhelmed Vampirella goes AWOL and lands in Las Vegas - where her presence panics the local vampires into preemptively attacking her. Meanwhile, in the darkly possible future, the increasingly erratic Daughter of Drakulon leads the other members of the Sacred Six - Pantha, Nyx, Chastity, Victory, and Vampirette - on a mission which may finally push Vampirella permanently over the edge! The well-oiled creative machine of CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ continues to build up steam in Vampirella #3 - stoked by smolderingly sensual covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, GREG LAND, SHANNON MAER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

Vampirella's crippling postpartum depression spirals into a psychotic break, and the Daughter of Drakulon now sees enemies everywhere. After the half-vampire bounty hunter Chastity is found brutally murdered, Vampi's teammates in the Sacred Six move to rescue Vampi's young son from his clearly unhinged mother. The result is a bloody showdown that could end their alliance forever and condemn her child to a future of eternal darkness! The immortal comics team of writer CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and artist ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ ratchets up the tension in Vampirella #4 balanced by endearingly eye-catching covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, GREG LAND, CELINA, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

DARKNESS CLOSES IN! In an all-too-possible future following a global apocalypse, a vengeful Vampirella seizes power and imposes a crushing totalitarian order over the entire Earth - leaving her son Cicero with no other choice but to turn to evil to stop her. Meanwhile, in the foreboding present, a cyberpunk Baron Von Kreist arrives from the future, hell-bent on preventing Cicero from disrupting the coming dark future - by any means necessary! Sage prognosticators CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ proffer eerily accurate extrapolations in Vampirella #5 - enhanced by enticing covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, GREG LAND, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

THE LONG NIGHT CLOSES! In the dark future, Vampirella rules the world as a ruthless global dictator locked in a life-or-death struggle to stave off an invasion of the Earth by the terraforming Ancient Ones who created the planet Drakulon millennia ago. Caught between his totalitarian mother and his vengeful ex-girlfriend whose space beacon provoked the invasion, Vampirella's son Cicero struggles to hang onto what little is left of his own humanity while sealing the fate of his infant self in the present timeline! Master tale-weavers CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ conclude their saga of 'The Long Night' in Vampirella #6 - augmented by outlandishly appealing covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, GREG LAND, MEGHAN HETRICK, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

Following the devastating denouement of 'The Long Night,' a distraught Vampirella retreats to her refuge on the tiny Caribbean island of Tortola to find comfort in the arms of her lover, the Saint. Once there, however, Vampirella's grief attracts the lingering spirit of her deceased friend, Benny the Witch, who warns her that the Saint- her only tether to sanity is actually a grave threat to the world. If humanity is to survive, the Saint must die! Legendary author CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and artist DAVIS GOETTEN kick off the latest chapter in the Daughter of Drakulon's saga with Vampirella #7-crowned with captivating covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

MEMORIES — NOT ALONE IN THE MOONLIGHT! In this issue: The enigmatic living algorithm known as ARIS taps into Vampirella’s mind in its quest to access the mysterious aliens beings known as The Host. The resulting journey through Vampi’s history — from her extraterrestrial origins through her life on Earth — may answer some of the most fundamental questions about the Daughter of Drakulon’s existence! Extrasensory guides CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and DAVIS GOETTEN open the doorways of perception in Vampirella #8 — featuring intuitively intriguing covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

REALITY BITES! In this issue: Vampirella’s best and most trusted friend has seemingly returned from the grave. But is he “real” — an actual, sentient life form? Or is he merely an automaton crafted by the living algorithm ARIS, sent to complicate Vampirella’s own struggle to determine if she herself is an actual person? The answer will hopefully be found within CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and DAVIS GOETTEN’s Vampirella #9 — bolstered by perfectly imperfect covers from allegedly human artists LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

THUS SPAKE VAMPIRELLA! Ever since her long-lost friend returned from the grave in the form of an AI-created automaton, Vampirella has been plagued by fundamental questions of existence. Is the Daughter of Drakulon an actual person? Does she have a soul? Or is she just her mother’s construct, like the simulacrum of her friend produced by the living algorithm ARIS? Vampi’s powerful emotional connection to this echo of her lost loved one forces her to confront lingering questions about her own agency and right to exist — and there are no easy answers in sight. Weighty philosophers CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and DAVIS GOETTEN gaze into the abyss in VAMPIRELLA #10 — leavened by reassuringly refined covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A MAD GOD SCORNED! A brand-new story arc begins here! When Vampirella rejects the romantic overtures of Chaos the Mad God, the spurned immortal reacts… poorly. The result? Our favorite Vampiri is sent hurtling through space and time, winding up stranded in the waning days of the American Old West. But wherever (or whenever) she finds herself, the Daughter of Drakulon is nothing if not resourceful — something that a gang of predatory cowboy vampires is about to discover first-hand! The legendary Vampi creative team of writer CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and artist ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ reunite for a tale of the good, the bad, and the undead in Vampirella #11 — featuring slyly celebratory covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!

THE MAGNIFICENT VAMPI! Trapped in the 19th century Old West, the Daughter of Drakulon is faced with a stark choice: allow a rural town to be taken over by a deadly gang of blood-sucking lawmen, or use her own Vampiri abilities to save the town, and risk destroying her ability to return home through the resulting timestream interference! Grizzled comics gunslingers CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ strap on their six-shooters for Vampirella #12 — flanked by cantankerous cover artists LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!
