In space, no one can hear your goofy sex puns! The Mistress of the Dark finds herself "alienated," as her trip through the Multiverse of Movies lands Elvira aboard a certain doomed starship with a certain deadly stowaway. (No, it's not the cat.) Come for the horror comedy, stay for the franchise fatigue in this Promethean effort by writer David Avallone (Elvira Meets Vincent Price, Bettie Page: Unbound) and artist Silvia Califano (Star Trek, Judge Dredd.)
All these fun, thrills and spills, plus a series of amazing covers by returning artists Dave Acosta, John Royle, series artist Califano, and an amazing Elvira photo cover you won't more
Another fun moment is when Elvira reassures the ship's cat that the Alien will not eat him as it's not Alf. At which point a rarely used thought bubble comes up from the cat referring to the alien Alf being a threat to the feline spieces or words to that effect. You really need to read the book to get the joke. As well as watch the 80s sitcom Alf, who was a cute and funny alien that was always threatening to eat the family cat. Read Full Review
ELVIRA IN HORRORLAND #3 does exactly what it sets out to do show you a good time with an entertaining mix of nostalgia and laughs. The jokes and banter are snappy, the pacing and timing are nearly perfect, and the art team nails the Alien (1979) aesthetic. Read Full Review
Califano delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The character designs are great and I love how Elvira is so expressive throughout the story. It adds great humor to the plot and dialogue. Read Full Review
Elvira definitely has a fun issue here and that's just the plain simple truth. Avallone knows how to work this genre well and it delivers good on the action and laughs and lets Elvira be thrown to someplace new and have to deal with the issues of it. It just feels a bit lighter on the material in a way when there are more things that it could draw from. I enjoyed it a lot and the way Elvira handles the whole thing, especially in contrast to the previous issues that took place in the past with different ways women would handle situations, makes for an engaging bit for her since you see her developing quite the natural crush on Ridley. Good stuff all around as we get ready for some nightmare material next. Read Full Review
