Vampirella / Dejah Thoris #2

This Dynamite crossover brings together two of genre fiction's most formidable heroines — and issue #2 makes clear that something has gone very wrong for both of them. Jay Anacleto's cover depicts a pale, imposing armored villain gripping Vampirella and Dejah Thoris by their wrists, each struggling fiercely against his hold amid a dramatic Martian canyon backdrop. The tension and raw physicality Anacleto renders here — fangs bared, claws out, golden jewelry catching the warm light — make a compelling case for what this 2018 crossover series is doing with these two warriors.
