Originally created as a hostess for an anthology comic, Vampirella has been many things in her long history. Writer Christopher Priest attempted to reconcile her conflicting backgrounds in 2019, just in time for Vampirella’s 50th anniversary. Now, with Vampi’s 55th anniversary fast approaching, Priest is poised to revamp everyone’s favorite space vampire once again.
Dynamite Entertainment has released five pages of Vampirella #666 in anticipation of the reboot. Subtitled “Beyond,” the story opens with Vampi being murdered by a mysterious blonde woman. She then awakens in the recent past, with none of the events of the previous series having occurred yet. Will Vampi be able to avert the mass casualty event that defined the previous Priest run? Or is she doomed to die again and again at the blonde stranger’s hand?
Check out the first-look preview of five non-sequential pages from Vampirella #666 below:
The Art Team of Vampirella #666
Christopher Priest is once again partnering with Ergün Gündüz, who collaborated with him on the previous Vampirella series. The new issue will also reprint a Christopher Priest story with art by Alan Davis from 1999’s Vampirella The New Monthly #19. Finally, the new series will feature variant covers by an all-star team of artists. This includes Lucio Parrillo, Felipe Massafera, and Carla Cohen. There will also be a cosplay cover featuring Rachel Hollon, as well as virgin and foil variants of the basic covers.
Vampirella #666 arrives in comic shops everywhere on February 14, 2024.
