From Vampirella's fiftieth anniversary to her very own series! She started as Vampirella's lover and ended up a very powerful pawn of Vampi's mother, Lilith. Along the way, Victory's made new friends, seen countless horrors, been saddled with a demon's ring that she can't get rid of, encountered the ghost of an old friend, and opened too many dimensional gateways to count. Despite that, there's so much that we don't know about Victory, like what her childhood was like. Or what she's been doing with her demon ring and the crazy powers it has granted. Or which old - well, foe wouldn't exactly be the right word - is about to show up to cheer her more
The first issue of the new series looks extremely promising. Walker has shown that he can work well with the character in her world while dealing with what could have been a very simple introduction meant to lead the hero into a new adventure. Walker pumps so much wit, charm, and swagger into the first issue. Itll be interesting to see what he does with an issue that actually begins to render some of the series major plot points.

However, it did not hinder my enjoyment of the tale in any way.

Overall, I think this new series is very promising and I look forward to finding out what happens next.This issue features realistic drawings complimented by muted color work.

VICTORY #1 brings the latest Vampirella character to life in her own series when her boring life is disrupted by demons and a pair of supernatural beings looking for help. The setup is fine, but the Whedon-esque vibe and cartoonish art create a tone that doesn't fit the character or the gravity of her situation. Read Full Review
