review:

In 'Vampirella: Southern Gothic' we get a pretty good story that feels a bit more like urban fantasy than Southern Gothic, but it's not a bad story, nonetheless.



The story starts with Vampirella receiving a wound in her side from a blade that causes her more pain than usual. While she's recovering, she gets a call for help from her friend Jacob in Mississippi. Rather than take time to heal, she's off to help. It turns out there is a woman who has dies 30 plus times and Jacob has gotten himself mixed up with her. His soul is at stake and before Vampi can start investigating, there are already people wanting to kill her. Along the way, she meets up with a strange little girl named Belly and her even stranger dog. She realizes that sometimes you have to help people even if you've decided they are idiots.



I like the Vampi in these stories, and I like that the skimpy costume takes a back seat. She can be just as interesting more modestly dressed like she is here. She's an interesting character and I like this story. She's a character you wouldn't want to mess with and she's completely capable of taking care of herself and that all comes through pretty clearly.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
