It's a monumental clash of titans that had to happen, from master storyteller Dan Abnett! Both Vampirella and Red Sonja were recruited by the Project, a cosmic collection of superheroes sworn to protect all known universes. But Vampirella is now considered a murderous criminal - and she's capable of defeating any hero. Unfortunately for her, Red Sonja is no hero... It's a universe-spanning, action-packed battle royal from start to finish, by Dan Abnett (Dejah Thoris) and Alessandro Ranaldi (Jennifer Blood)!
VAMPIRELLA VS. RED SONJA #1 takes two great tastes and makes them taste great together by interweaving the Vampirella and Red Sonja interactions with The Project into a fresh story that builds on what worked in those titles. Abnett makes the impossible possible by distilling the crisis into a single, easy-to-follow issue, and an explanation of magic proves to be a game-changer for The Project. That said, the generally good art fails to capture the drama of the event. Read Full Review
'Vampirella vs Red Sonja' is an ambitious interdimensional multiverse crisis with our daring heroes along for the ride. Jam-packed with original Dynamite heroes there is a bit of a learning curve to get familiar with as they embark on a battle between science and magic. It has the potential to be a lot of comic book fun and hopefully, Vampi and Sonja will be more involved than they are in issue one. All in all, 'Vampirella vs Red Sonja' sets a new course for adventure for Dynamite in what could be an action-packed event. Read Full Review
Vampirella Versus Red Sonja #1 avoids being a standard battle between two major Dynamite characters as it introduces a "Crisis on Infinite Earths style story with tons of heroes, Earths being destroyed by demon armies and Vampirella being blamed for the disaster. She and Red Sonja, at least in this first issue, become minor supporting characters in their own book. Read Full Review
I'll admit to being more than a little lost (not great for the first issue of a comic) as the series gets off to a slow start which no doubt will eventually focus more on the two characters once the story gets rolling. Read Full Review
Despite its capable and entertaining creative team, Vampirella vs. Red Sonja #1 is too exhausting to be worth the while. Read Full Review
