Stop me if you've heard this one. A bunch of vampires walk into a bar...
Actually, this $.25 full-format preview book starts out at a vampire bar, with a group of the usuals doing what they do best: complaining about the anticoagulants in the beverages and trading stories about Vampirella, during which the art team gets to show off some interesting variants: Vampirella as monster, and knight, and (sure to be everyone's favorite) as anime-style magical girl.
Then the real Vampirella ruins all the fun by showing up and staking everybody, with that classic of weapons, the repeating-stake-pistol-crossbow. Oh, and one character has something interesting to say about Vampirella's past, so Vampirella... wait for it... kills him anyway! Then goes off to figure out what the heck he might have been talking about.
This, apparently, is supposed to convince me that I should be reading the Vampirella: Revelations mini-series. Some of the artistic bits were interesting. The story? Not so much.
Rating: 4/10
