Vampirella #7 is a great example of the opportunities this intricate and long form approach to storytelling affords, capitalizing on an exciting guest artist appearance for another must read issue. Read Full Review
Timpano and Gunduz bring some great art in this issue and the contrasts in styles works for both the characters and the story. This is a great looking issue with awesome details in each panel. Read Full Review

The delightful beach setting with its own abundance of eccentricities makes for an excellent centerpiece, offering ample time to develop character relationships and deliver a few excellent gags. Read Full Review
While I was wary of there being so many Vampirella books out at once the pro of it is that if one of them isn't clicking for you, there are other possibilities there for you. I really like the artwork in this installment with our guest artist as it holds up well against the regular artist. And artwork can sustain interest in some books for a while, but not indefinitely. There are interesting moments to be had throughout the issue but as a storyline start it doesn't do itself any favors or sets things in motion in a way that feels natural and interesting. It's a very frustrating book after years of Vampirella books that worked a lot better. Read Full Review
