Comments: The current Vampirella meets four other versions of herself; Classic, Hollywood, SF, L'il Vampi, Western and Original. The art is done in subdued colors and the Vampirella's are not shown off at all well to show their sexuality and the horror factor. The current Vampirella is shown but not shown off. The few scenes of her fighting herself are boring as they lack emotion.
The story is hard to follow. So is this the real Vampirella or some new version in this comic? The narrator lettering on the bottom of the panels is amusing.
Now the Vampirella's start to fight why who knows? Is this all a dream? Is this really a Vampirella comic? Is Vampirella now gay or at least bi? Does she eat real food? Her relationship with Vicki is nice to see it shows her being in love.
This Vampirella has one supporting character with her Vicki. Unless you have been following this series from the start you will be left wondering what is going on.
Things do get explosive for Vampirella how will this affect her?

Comments: Before the comic starts there is a write up to let you know what has gone before and this is needed or you would be totally lost.
Grit the cat is getting mentioned. A cat that went to Hell and back is something of interest. He may be dead though.
Vampirella is a killer here. You do not want her in a killer rage after you. She does act calmly yet you can tell she is sheathing inside. Attack her and her friends and die its as simple as that. Or is it maybe not. Things are weird here in the future on this Earth.
Vicki is a girl Vampirelli is shown falling hard for. She also cares for the cat Grit.
Ellie as a short form for Vampirella. That sounds awful.
So Vampirella thinks of herself as the hero here even though most of the world hates her.
This comic is like a version of Mad Max. Nice chase scenes and nice harpooning.
Vampirella or Ellie looks like a little dark elf or something. She is written tough but the art really does not bring that across. She is not shown sexual at all. She is shown as a tough as nails woman who fights back hard.

Comments: Vampirella is a killer. She is on a mission with her friend/girlfriend.
Vampirella is dressed in a rag tag dress. The rest of her outfit is black, a jacket and leggings. It is not a uniform just something she threw together. She now has extremely short hair to. So this Vampirella looks totally different than other versions have.
There is way to many times where the words are blocked out because they are swearing. Once in a while would be ok but every page is to much.
Vampirella has her wings here. They are drawn wonderfully and suit her attitude and the setting. The drawing of Vampirella landing on a vehicle roof is action packed and has her packing.
The narration in red letters at the bottom of each page is fun and entertaining to read. It is the best part of the comic.
Ellie and Vicki are in a relationship so yes there is drama here and emotions as these two love birds fall more in love.
The two lovers find a creepy building and within it more creepy things. Than we see the most amazing thing. This will surprise and shock you.

Comments: Pantha's origin is told here and like Vampirella she has had more than one.
Pantha has changed a lot over the thousand years Vampirella has been asleep. Pantha was her friend now though thinks have changed and not for the best. Pantha is still a strong woman but she is no longer the same woman.
Vampirella finds herself in a tough situation to save Vicki her girlfriend she must fight for Pantha.
Vampirella and Vicki really do love each other.
The art is subdued in its coloring and the art itself is like something from a Mad Max movie. There is fighting yet it is not done all that exciting. The poses are not what you would expect when using a warrior like Vampirella. The use of power dampeners seems out of place.
This comic is called Vampirella yet it does not really seem like a Vampirella comic.
There is to much blanked out swear words. The red lettering narration from Vampirella is still the best part of the comic as these are so well written.

Comments: Vicki may not seem the brightest yet here she fools everyone. She comes up with a plan to save them all. Will it work it seems unlikely.
Pantha and Vampirella are nothing like what past incarnations portrayed them as. Pantha has become one mean SOB. She is sadistic and power hungry.
The narration in bold red lettering will have you wanting to skip to the bottom of the page just to read it. When it changes to purple lettering the narrative person changes to.
The art could be done to match the characters better. In this future though there is not that much chance to really show off the characters to their full potential.
God well God is illustrated in a style that does bring across God's personality of being God.
Aw as this issue nears its end you will not be able to help but feel joy this is the end for now and love conquers all.
