Wagner Reis and Fabiano Neves have been the amazing art duo on Vampirella since issue one, so the news that Neves will be the sole artist for an upcoming story-arc is welcome news indeed. I do hope that Reis will be returning soon, but Neves will keep the tone and look consistant and of the usual high quality. If you are not reading Vampirella you really need to be. It is one of the best written, best looking comics on them market and I say this as someone who used to detest the character. Eric Trautmann changed that, thankfully. The upcoming issue eight is a great jumping on point, but I suggest you go pick up all the issues to date right now. Here’s the details from Dynamite Entertainment on all things planned for Vampirella in June:
Dynamite’s Vampirella continues to gain readership, and issue #8 begins a new story-arc! Vampirella will continue to be written by writer extraordinaire Eric Trautmann, and we’re proud to announce that Fabiano Neves will be the special artist for this story arc. Vampirella #8 will feature covers by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, Paul Renaud, Ale Garza, and Fabiano Neves!
The story focus’ on a lonely stretch of highway – in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, with a trio of vicious creatures on a mission of murder and destruction. And all that stands in their way is Vampirella! It’s a road-trip through death and horror, as Vampirella, who is still dealing with the aftermath of her first adventure, facing a threat that may finally be her match.
And we continue our scarlet heroine’s success with Vampirella: and the Scarlet Legion #2 – written by Joe Harris and has art by José Málaga, with covers by Billy Tucci and Johnny D! Following the shocking turn of events from last issue, abandoned by her allies and friends, Vampirella seeks comfort in the arms of Chaos’ most infamous servant, Ethan Shroud. But as Pendragon, Brittney and the newly convened Scarlet Legion race to recover the next fragment of “The Crimson Codices,” Vampirella quickly finds her worst fears realized. Lost, hunted and backed into a corner alone, will she fight to clear her name or merely embrace her dark destiny? Bet on a fight!
And we continue our best-selling collections with Vampirella Masters Vol. 4: Visionaries TPB continues Dynamite Entertainment’s collections of the very best of Vampirella. VampirellaVampirella is a must-read comic book! Dynamite continues to build Vampirella as one of our staple characters and we want you, our fans, for the long haul!
