VICTORY (2023)

From Vampirella's fiftieth anniversary to her very own series! She started as Vampirella's lover and ended up a very powerful pawn of Vampi's mother, Lilith. Along the way, Victory's made new friends, seen countless horrors, been saddled with a demon's ring that she can't get rid of, encountered the ghost of an old friend, and opened too many dimensional gateways to count. Despite that, there's so much that we don't know about Victory, like what her childhood was like. Or what she's been doing with her demon ring and the crazy powers it has granted. Or which old - well, foe wouldn't exactly be the right word - is about to show up to cheer her on. From writer David F. Walker (Compass, Young Justice, Naomi) and artist Brett Weldele (The Beauty, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?).

As if being cursed with the ring of the demon Belial wasn't bad enough for Victory, now she's being chased by demons who want the very same ring that she can't get rid of - making for unpleasant irony and lots of that brimstone smell. Speaking of smell, Victory is escorted to the P.U. (Purgatory Department - no, not that Purgatori) by her new colleagues, Lucy Fuhr and Gaye Briel. There, she gets some face-to-face time with the big boss himself - the Devil!

Meet Victory, erstwhile love of Vampirella, inexplicable object of interest to Lilith and the not-so-proud owner of the Belial ring. Why does that last part matter? Why, because the ring used to belong to a demon, and it draws her to evil. And it's mystically bonded itself to Victory. Lucky her. On the bright side, it also gives her nifty powers like flight, mystic bolts, and she can even make that energy take specific shapes like she's the lost third Wonder Twin!   Up until now, Victory has been left wondering why so many demons are trying to kill her to get a ring she'd rather not have, and that is about to lead her to a head-on confrontation with an evil the likes of which she has never known --   -- Meet Belilah, the demonic daughter of Belial. We think the covers speak for themselves!

Victory has faced the consequences of a lifetime of bad decisions, but now she must survive her greatest challenge yet, as she fights for both her life and the Belial ring that has possessed her soul. But it turns out that there is an enemy far greater than the demonic forces of Belialah that threaten Victory - and it will stop at nothing to destroy her!

Victory thinks she has finally figured out who it is that wants to kill her and take ownership of the Belial ring - but the truth is far more complicated than it appears. As she confronts her demonic nemesis Beliliah (the nefarious daughter of Belial the Unworthy), Victory realizes that there is more than one demon looking to destroy her soul!
