But when the best "Vampirella" title I've read is her "Army Of Darkness/Vampirella" crossover mini-series, I'm sure you can appreciate my trepidation to give her a fourth shot ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-82400222849022435302017-04-15T08:09:25.761-07:002017-04-15T08:09:25.761-07:00I really don't blame you for dropping this tit...I really don't blame you for dropping this title from your list. If our roles were reversed I would too. Yes, I do know why you stick with Amazing Spiderman and Moon Knight. I totally get your loyalty. There's always the hope that things will get better. The sooner this pathetic Vampirella series ends the better, as far as I'm concerned. <br /><br />What worries me is your unerring knack to chose the worst possible Vampirella stories to review on your blog. They certainly do not reflect the majority of her tales, which are either good, very good or superb. And no, that is not me being biased. There some genuinely gripping, well-written and well-illustrated series about her.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-49006978118449312622017-04-15T06:31:33.165-07:002017-04-15T06:31:33.165-07:00Many thanks, Bryan.

I'm sure you won't be surprised to know that I won't be buying any more of this title, and will be steering clear of the character in future; at least until "Dynamite Entertainment" sell the licence - This must be the third of their "Vampirella" titles I've bought and everyone has been truly awful!!<br /><br />I suppose the good news for you though is that I understand Cornell and Broxton have had a huge falling out with one another over a future variant cover illustration for this title, and as a result I believe both have left the book..?<br /><br />"I will stick with the series, purely out of my loyalty" - now you know why I still buy "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Moon Knight" ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529032232707676622.post-82491292410131690242017-04-15T02:28:49.576-07:002017-04-15T02:28:49.576-07:00A very fair review, Simon, but my feelings towards...A very fair review, Simon, but my feelings towards this comic are far stronger than yours. Quite frankly, I was appalled at what the creative team have done with my favourite vampire. As you said, why didn't the flying angels follow Vampi when she took flight? What I hated the most about this pile of crap was the makeover they gave Vampi. What an awful new costume they gave her. And as for her cropped hair - ugh! This is not the Vampirella I know and love and as far as I'm concerned this is just a "what if?" story and most definitely not canon. Oh, and I found all the censored boxes and blacked out swear words a huge distraction. I had high hopes for this series but they have been cruelly dashed. I will stick with the series, purely out of my loyalty to Vampirella but I know I'm not going to enjoy it. Honestly, Simon, I feel so angry and let down by this series. Of all the truly great Vampirella stories you could have chosen to review you once again pick an absolute stinker! Oh, dear me!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
