Swords of Sorrow: Vampirella & Jennifer Blood #1

Against a blood-red moon with silhouetted bats wheeling overhead, Vampirella snarls with fangs bared and claws raised while the cool-eyed, gun-toting Jennifer Blood stands her ground just behind her — it's a striking pairing of supernatural menace and hardboiled lethality, brought to life on this Billy Tan cover. Writer Nancy Collins and artist Dave Acosta team up for this four-issue Dynamite series that puts two of comics' most formidable women front and center. If you're looking for an action-charged 2015 miniseries with serious attitude, this first issue is a compelling place to start.
