review:
Vampirella Strikes finds Vampirella finishing up a fight in Boston. When she gets home for a rest, she gets an interesting visit by some angels who want to hire her to find a missing angel. The catch is she has to team up with a fallen angel named Janus who seems to play both sides.
They find themselves in a bar known as Switzerland, a sort of neutral ground where supposedly everyone is safe. Except they then find themselves targeted and end up fighting large demonic dogs in an arena. It turns out that there is a black market for the organs and blood of angels, and an angel can't return home without all of their organs. Sound confusing? It kind of was.
The story by Thomas E. Sniegoski was pretty good and got better as it went along. I liked the relationship between Vampirella and Janus as they tried to solve the case. Art by Johnny Desjardins was a little bland at times. The angels and demons were kind of colorless. This might have been a design choice but I wasn't impressed. Good story, so-so art. Included is a cover gallery for all 6 issues represented here.
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.
