Seduction of The Innocent Book Two of Twelve: Vampirella leads a team of religious zealots to take down a pack of werewolves preying on unsuspecting cultists. Also, weary of her mother Lilith's nagging, Vampirella reluctantly goes speed dating and, in so doing, stumbles into a dangerous new love affair.
Horror, humor, and shocking visuals make this a Vampirella for the ages. Add nuns with guns into this book and it becomes epic. You ain't read Vampirella until you've read this book! Recommended. Read Full Review
Ergun Gunduz delivers some amazing art in this issue. The characters look amazing and the tonal shift in the art between Vampirellas late night activities to her sessions is fantastic. Read Full Review
Vampirella #2 kicks things up a notch with a truly violent and surprisingly in-depth exploration of Vampi's life on Earth. Read Full Review
While I wait to see what the intent is here I'm at least enjoying what we get from Gundu as his artwork is strong, especially with the color design. There's a great cohesiveness to it and I love all the angles and viewing placement that we get which feels like it's not what we normally get, especially for a character like Vampi. Read Full Review
Full of gore and pathos, this issue continues the fascinating deconstruction of everyone's favorite bombshell space vampire. Read Full Review
All good scenes, but none of them belonging to the same story. But maybe it's meant to be inconsistent. Maybe that's the clue that the overarching story is trying to reveal -- that it's all a dream or some mental prison, and we'll look back at this from the first issue forward and smack our heads over how obvious it should have been. But for now, it remains an attractive nuisance -- beautiful to look at, but makes you scratch your head hard enough to leave scars. Read Full Review
The first half of VAMPIRELLA #2 feels a bit like we're spinning our narrative wheels, but not moving in any particular direction. The book's second half redeems it somewhat, but the real story and stakes are yet to show up. Read Full Review
Whatever its faults may be, this Vampirella relaunch certainly provides readers plenty to chew on. Read Full Review
There's a lot of potential for a solid and cohesive story, but nothing seems to connect in a way that makes sense just yet. Read Full Review
"Vampirella" #2 is a study in how adult themes are not the only elements of a great comic book. Read Full Review
It's been a minute since I reviewed Vampirella #1. I liked the first issue but wasn't exactly blow away by anything in it. I wouldn't have made the purchase at all but did so to stand in solidarity with Christopher Priest who had come under vicious attack from mainstream comic journalists looking for another scalp in the culture war.
This issue gives a better impression of what the series will be about and is also framed around Vampirella's ongoing therapy sessions with Dr. Chary. The rest of the comic details what she's been up to during the past year. The book also introduces allies and a couple of new enemies.
Vampirella feeds on drug dealers before encountering a group of Satanic Nuns and Werewolves. The bo more
The opening issue was good, but in places the dialogue between Vampirella and her psychiatrist became a little confusing. The art too, was a little inconsistent. Neither of these concerns exist in the second issue. Issue 2 of Vampirella by Christopher Priest and Ergun Gunduz is a strong story, making Vampirella a "serious" character with an interesting story to tell.
I'm pleased with my decision to buy into this series, which was based on Christopher Priest as a writer, and the now notorious interview where he rightly put Chris Arrant in his place.
