Vampirella (2011-2014) Vol. 1: Crown of Worms by Walter Geovani, Fabiano Neves, Eric Trautmann, Wagner Reis
5.0
I’ve never read Vampirella comics before so I don’t know what she originally was like. I just ended up liking this edition more than I thought I would and decided to write my review before I’d read other, negative, reviews.
The art was unique, almost a bit messy, but once again, reading on the Kindle made it harder to actually understand what was going on. A lot of the panels are designed to be read in unison with the entire page. Plot-wise it was standard, but the writing was something else. Vampirella’s thoughts surprised me multiple times and they are quite sophisticated for a comic.
Vampirella is portrayed as a strong leader wearing leather jackets and stilettos. The sexualised costume on the cover does appear throughout the book, but the author makes a point to establish the main character as an independent woman.
We don’t get to see much vampire biting but a lot of fighting. Dracula appears and an ancient demon. We also briefly hear about Van Helsing. Read it on Kindle Unlimited!
