In FEAST OF SHADOWS, the first in the six-part OUR LADY OF SHADOWS story arc. Vampirella is sent by the Vatican to investigate the kidnapping of a little girl by Ethan Shroud and the Chaos cultists, only to become the centerpiece of a ritual invoking Lady Umbra, the sister-bride of Chaos, that leaves her marked as a living sacrifice to the dark goddess who rules the shadows. VAMPIRELLA is back and returns to her horror roots with Bram Stoker Award-winning author Nancy A. Collins (Swamp Thing, Sunglasses After Dark, Jason vs. Leatherface) and Patrick Berkenkotter (The Torch, Dark Shadows).

Reviews
I'm going to go out on a limb here. There has been very little done in the long life of Vampirella that has been worthy of the original black and white series. Although, we have seen many attempts at reviving the character, few have come to succeeding. Nancy Collins' storyline seems to intergrate some of the concepts from the original series while keeping up with modern continuity. And with over eleven different variant covers, I had all ready written this off. Sure a hot cover by Jenny Frison or Joe Jusko is always worth cover price but I wasn't expecting much. And although the story start out very cookie cutter, it quickly yet subtly turns and peaks the interest. Hopefully, Collins can keep it up.
