Good new and possible bad news as I see it. I want to see Vampirella go back to her roots, maybe a possible reboot of the original outer space queen. I just didn't like the turn it all took in the 90's, and felt it lost track mixing in with the super hero stuff like most titles did then.

I trust Dynamite to do a great job on it though, I just hope there can be a restart of sorts, so today's generation can find out how and why she became the horror comic icon she is.

well you can be sure of one thing - 10 different covers per issue!!

I must admit that I'm interested to see all of the D.E. usual suspect cover artists do Vampirella covers.

Yeah that part should be interesting. I'm also at least intrigued on a series having never read anything about her before

Dang, there goes my hopes that Dynamite would acquire Lady Death. Oh, well. I like Vampirella too, so I'm glad she's going to resurface there. If she gets even half the love D.E. shows Red Sonja, Vampi will coming back in style...

I'll add the book to my pull list.

Dynamite is starting to get close to DC on my list!

Here's an idea....

Howsabout everybody with a recognized property, outside of Marvel, DC and Dark Horse, just turn the rights over to Dynamite. All of them...at once! :D

Red Sonja, Green Hornet and Kato, The Wheel of Time, The Lone Ranger, Robocop, Buck Rogers, Dan Dare, Green Hornet and Kato again plus Vampirella now? I just read they've got another comic, based on Patricia Brigg's novels coming out in May. That's a lot of stuff..

Dynamite gets a lot of my comic book money, the most in fact. I hope they know what they're doing. That's all I can say. But so far, their track record with these things is very positive, so I think Vampirella's fans are in good hands. Still...

Yeah, Dynamite is DAMN good when it comes to these things.

They use top quality creators and so far, IMO, the results have been great!

I'm glad Dynamite will be creating new Vampirella comics and/or magazine.
I hope they consider going back to the Warren stories where Vampirella was above and seperate from earth's sleazy vampires because she was from another planet. When Harris remade her origin as part of the vampires, it seemed to make Vampi less unique.

A Sheena, Vampirella, Red Sonja team up would be cool to see.
