Vampirella experiences a literal new beginning with a renumbering to reflect her six decades of publishing! Vampirella is murdered by a mysterious blonde woman who looks exactly like her, only to awaken surrounded by her husband, friends, and pseudo-superhero mom Lilith. All seems normal and right with the world except for her nagging suspicion that none of it actually is. Here Vampirella inexplicably finds herself back in the first days of Priest and Ergün Gündüz's landmark 50th Anniversary run where the dead are alive, Vampi's wickedly self-absorbed mom is practically a Power Ranger, and the mass casualty event which defined the series more
Sadly, Vampirella #666 fails as an introduction to new readers. It is, however, a successful continuation of the excellent work Priest and Gndz previously presented.

VAMPIRELLA #666 is an intriguing issue with both positive and negative aspects. The mysteries introduced in the Beyond storyline promise a potential resolution to the convoluted timelines established by Priest. The improved artwork by Uron Ergn Gndz, showcasing dynamic figure work, adds to the issues overall appeal. However, Priests penchant for convoluted storytelling may deter new readers, requiring a deep dive into the intricate backstory. Despite its challenges, the issue concludes with a strong cliffhanger, leaving us eager to see where the narrative leads. Read Full Review
As a jumping on place for new readers this is a disaster that should have been avoided at all costs. The writing is fun and the story is strong with lovely visuals and awesome covers. This I failure due to a writer that didn't get the sodden memo.....Mr Priest.....please write so new readers don't have to read 50 plus years of back catalogue to understand the script.... Ella as a character should be on every single fantasy pull list and if it's not then why the Hell not???????
The bottom line for the writing of this issue is: I have no idea what is going on. This is completely confusing, while throwing in the tired trope of Groundhog Day. This is just plain awful. I won't be continuing it.
