Vampirella Armageddon #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVampirella: Armageddon #9 functions as the penultimate chapter of Dynamite's twelve-issue Armageddon event, the point at which the series' central dramatic engine — the splintering of Vampirella into heroic and dark selves — fires at full force: Dark Vampirella physically escapes Hell and confronts her originator, making this the first issue where that doppelgänger threat becomes an external, world-scale menace rather than a purely internal one. As the climactic hinge of Tom Sniegoski's extended Sepulcher City continuity, it consolidates narrative threads running from Vampirella Strikes! through the Armageddon arc, cementing the thematic idea that Vampirella's greatest antagonist is an expression of her own accumulated power. The issue also marks the mid-arc transition of the interior artist from Kewber Baal (who launched the series) to Edu Menna, whose infernal visual language carries the story through its most apocalyptic stretch.

Vampirella: Armageddon was announced in April 2025 as a direct sequel to Sniegoski's Vampirella Strikes! series, with Sniegoski describing the return to the character as intuitive and deeply familiar territory for him. The series launched in July 2025 with art by Kewber Baal and colorist Omi Remalante Jr., set in the dystopian future of Sepulcher City where Vampirella works as a private investigator alongside a werewolf partner. By issue #7 or #8 the interior art duties had transitioned to Edu Menna with colors by Adriano Augusto, the team that carries issue #9 through the finale at issue #12. A trade paperback collecting the first arc (Vampirella: Armageddon Vol. 1 TP, ISBN 9781524129217) was solicited for June 2026 release.
