Vampirella: The Second Coming

In the late 2000s, Harris Comics revived its iconic heroine with Vampirella: The Second Coming, a four-issue miniseries that redefined her mythos for a modern audience. Written by Phil Hester, with striking covers by Arthur Suydam and interior art by Al Rio, the story plunges Vampirella into a brutal conspiracy involving a new breed of bloodthirsty creatures. This series matters as a bold, dark reboot that stripped the character down to her horror roots, setting the tone for her subsequent adventures.
