Over at the news site Comics for Sinners, you’ll find my review of Vampirella/Army of Darkness #1, coming July 8 from Dynamite Entertainment. Written by Mark Rahner (Army of Darkness/Reanimator), and illustrated by Jethro Morales (Dejah of Mars), it’s the first-ever encounter between the queen of the bad girls and Ashley “Ash” Williams, groovy king of the deadite-fighting monster killers, and is set during the events of the 1993 Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell cult-classic film, Army of Darkness. Head over to C4S to learn more.
Speaking of sexy seductresses and groovy monster fighters, perhaps you’d like to meet Lorelei—StarWarp Concepts’ resident soul-stealing succubus—and Pandora Zwieback, teenaged supernatural adventuress.
Lorelei is SWC’s first leading lady of horror, a succubus who revels in devouring the souls of bad guys. She currently stars in two critically acclaimed projects: the graphic novel Lorelei: Sects and the City, in which she battles a cult of Elder God worshippers to prevent them from unleashing hell on Earth; and the one-shot special Lorelei Presents: House Macabre, in which she tries her hand at hosting an old-style horror anthology comic.
Pandora Zwieback is a 16-year-old Goth girl who’s spent the last decade being treated for mental health problems because she can see monsters. It’s only after she meets a shape-shifting monster hunter named Sebastienne “Annie” Mazarin that Pan discovers she’s never been ill—her so-called “monstervision” is actually a supernatural gift that allows her to see into Gothopolis, the not-so-mythical shadow world that exists right alongside the human world. Pan currently appears in the novels Blood Feud and Blood Reign, as well as the comic book The Saga of Pandora Zwieback Annual #1.
