New York (November 7, 2005) - With the debut of Vampirella Revelations #1 November 16th fast approaching, we wanted to catch you up on what the critics are saying about it!
Gary Butler, in the December issue of Rue Morgue, says:
Vampirella Revelations is not just another, ahem, string cheese incident typical of this character's long and less-than-homogeneous past… Harris Publications has, well, stripped Vampi of all her ridiculous baggage (the costume excepted) in order to resolve more than three decades of conflicting continuity. Ambitious? Sure, but with noted Lucifer and Hellblazer scribe Mike Carey on board for the inaugural arc, the girl's in great hands… This is easily the least exploitative version of the character this reviewer's ever seen…
Marc Mason of MoviePoopShoot.com says:
Picking Mike Carey for the job is a good decision. He's a talented writer and he comes out of the gate not trying to crap on the work of the folks who have come before him. Instead, this first issue attempts to meld together the myriad of explanations that came previously. Along the way, he presents Vampirella as a character of strength, emotion, and vulnerability. Yes, even in the costume. He's aided and abetted nicely by Lilly's art; he doesn't randomly put Vampi in stupid hyper-sexualized poses, instead allowing the story to flow naturally.
This is just some of the buzz surrounding the long awaited return of Vampirella to full-length, full color comics. Vampirella Revelations #1 written by Mike Carey with art by Mike Lilly and Bob Almond, hits comic shops November 16. (Please note the revised release date.) The first issue is $2.99 and sports two covers, a tribute cover by Mark Texeira to the first Vampirella #1, and living legend Jose Gonzalez's first original Vampirella cover in decades. Limited collectible editions of each cover without text are also available. |
