VAMPIRELLA DRACULA RAGE (2023)

NO MORE MS. NICE VAMPIRE! They're coming for her baby. They're going to murder him before her eyes. And then she's going to kill every last damn one of them. Picking up where Vampirella: Year One left off! In an unprecedented turn for our titular heroine, Vampirella/Dracula: Rage presents Vampirella as you've never seen her before. Inconsolable grief yields to irreducible rage as Vampirella tracks the cultists who threaten her son across Europe and America, unsettling political and economic alliances and unraveling the global network of the baby's father - Dracula. In a macabre exchange of norms, it is Dracula, the Lord of Vampires, hunting the elusive Vampiri, trying to save Vampirella from herself - or, more precisely, to save her from becoming like him. To this end, Dracula recruits Victory, once Vampirella's closest friend, to act as his ersatz Renfield while they try (and fail) to anticipate the next moves of a woman whose anger has now completely consumed her. This bold new limited series bookends Vampirella/Dracula: Unholy, bringing Vampirella's conflict with the Prince of Darkness to its ultimate conclusion and setting up a dramatic change in direction for the Vampirella!

After being told that her baby had died at birth, Vampirella discovers her son is actually alive but has been stolen by a nihilist cult who believe the newborn to be a carrier of "The Dracula Virus." Meanwhile, the Lord of Vampires himself seeks out the help of Victory, Vampirella's former lover, as he remains several frustrating steps behind Vampi while she hunts down the cultists. The angry new mother will stop at nothing to get her son back - and wreak terrible vengeance on those who took him!

When a big-box retailer announces that it's abandoning a small-town location after driving all of the local stores out of business, residents stage a demonstration against the callous destruction of their region's economy. But their lock-in protest takes a dark turn when the townsfolk realize they've trapped themselves inside the warehouse-sized store with an angry vampire who has come to avenge the murder of her child. Can Dracula and Victory stop Vampirella from becoming like the monsters she is hunting?

As Dracula strives to save Vampirella from the dark fate that has cursed him, the crew of a crippled Eastern European submarine finds themselves trapped between the U.S. Navy hunting them from above and an enraged, bloodthirsty Vampirella hunting them on board!

The only thing worse than being trapped on a packed subway train during a power outage is being trapped on a packed subway train during a power outage with a rage-obsessed vampire hunting you for the murder of her son. Will Vampirella endanger the lives of hundreds of innocents to achieve her vengeance - and, if so, can Dracula arrive in time to save her from herself?

The final chapter of Vampirella's twisted journey with the Lord of Vampires ends in a deadly conflagration of hidden agendas as Dracula's true motive for helping Vampirella is revealed and Victory's love for her frenemy is severely tested. Will they be able to pull Vampirella back from the brink of darkness? Or is she lost to them forever? Find out in this explosive issue from master storytellers CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and CHRISTIAN ROSADO!
