Vampirella #1

Dynamite's 2016 relaunch of Vampirella kicks off with a striking cover by Chrissie Zullo that gives the vampire heroine a fresh, stylish energy — she stands confidently before a luminous full moon, crossbow in hand, red jacket and fingerless gloves signaling a fighter as ready for action as she is for attitude. Bats wheel overhead against a stormy purple sky, with a darkened graveyard stretching behind her, setting the mood perfectly. Writer Kate Leth and artist Eman Casallos bring their talents to this new chapter for one of horror comics' most enduring figures, making this a genuinely inviting jumping-on point.
