It's always darkest before the dawn, right? Let's tell ourselves that, because not only is Lilith getting very creative with her "corrupt the incorruptible, end the world" plan, but a powerful new player has decided to get involved for the giggles... but mostly for the Armageddon. Things are shaping up to get massively out of hand, which is the perfect time for Vampirella and Purgatori to start fighting each other instead of their enemies-not!
VAMPIRELLA VERSUS PURGATORI #3, available from Dynamite Comics on May 12th, 2021, successfully merges a chase story with a double-cross mystery. The art is adequate and the writing is becoming surprisingly intricate with surprises yet to come. Read Full Review
The storyline for this series is playing out much as I expected it to based on the opening installment and I'm definitely enjoying it. I'm still only lightly familiar with the “chaos” characters and all but Purgatori is one that I've seen more of than others and she teams well with Vampirella. The plan that Lilith is working is one that does have a good chance of working but it still feels like she doesn't truly care if it does or doesn't, just whether she has a certain amount of fun in bringing all of this together. With a solid script and some great artwork, it's a fun read and an enjoyable standalone storyline for Vampirella. Read Full Review
An orgy,a Snow White Evil Queen take, and alot of flying/running around with gorgeous shots of Vampi/Purgi's "lovely lady lumps". This title is the fun version of Harry Potter's hunt for horcruxes. The mystery just got deeper, more villains got introduced and this title is at least more than halfway through. I don't know how they do so well over at Dynamite (probably the lack of big event books and the focus on non-canon mini-series), but I am glad they are doing it - or I would not have the pleasure of reading this!
