Ventura Valentina Vlasco

Ventura Valentina Vlasco made her entrance in the gritty pages of Bloodstrike #26 in 2012, brought to life by writer Tim Seeley and artist Francesco Gaston during the Modern Age revival of Image Comics' harder-edged universe. She moves through some seriously intense company — sharing panels with the likes of Shogun, Cabbot Stone, and Samuel Christopher Hicks — and her appearances across both Bloodstrike and Glory mark her as a figure who travels the wilder, more dangerous corners of the Image landscape. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's the kind of discovery that rewards deep-cut readers who love unearthing characters from a fascinating moment in indie superhero publishing.
