Witchblade writer Marguerite Bennett and fan-favorite artist Laura Braga are teaming up to bring two leading comics ladies together in an epic one-shot, Witchblade/Vampirella #1 — coming this August.
It’s been over 20 years since Witchblade and Vampirella teamed up, and now it’s happening again this summer. Prepare for one of the most exciting comic book crossover events of the year: Witchblade series writer Marguerite Bennett (Odin, Bombshells, Batwoman) and Witchblade fan favorite artist Laura Braga (Future State: The Next Batman, Captain Marvel, Dazzler) team up to for an epic one-shot, Witchblade/Vampirella #1. This crossover event is the first of two exciting mashups coming from Image Comics/Top Cow. The other one-shot comes from Erica Schultz (Rat City, The Deadliest Bouquet) and Valentina Pinti (Daredevil: Unleash Hell) in September from Dynamite Entertainment.
“This is the kind of crossover that only works when everyone leans in—creatively and as partners,” said Matt Hawkins, President and COO at Top Cow, in an exclusive scoop with CBR. “You’ve got two iconic characters, two publishers, and a story that doesn’t play it safe. It puts Sara and Vampirella on a collision course where trust is fragile and the consequences are permanent.”
Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher at Dynamite Entertainment, added: “It’s been over 20 years since Witchblade and Vampirella teamed up. The previous stories were fantastic, and we needed the right creators to ensure that we were bringing even more compelling stories to the fans. Working hand-in-hand with Top Cow, we were able to do just that. These stories will excite fans and we can’t wait to get these stories into fans’ hands.”
Check out the official synopsis for Witchblade/Vampirella #1:
“In this first Witchblade/Vampirella one-shot, Detective Sara Pezzini has seen her share of things that go bump in the night… but nothing like this. When a mutated vampire descends on the city, leaving a trail of blood and chaos, even Sara is pushed to her limits. Just as hope begins to fade, help arrives in the form of a legendary hunter of the undead: Vampirella. But with Sara already infected by the creature’s bite, time is running out. Will Vampirella be forced to stake first, ask questions later?”
Witchblade/Vampirella #1 arrives in comic book shops on Wednesday, August 26. The issue features covers from Braga (Cover A), Joseph Michael Linsner (Cover B), and Sveta Shubina (Cover C). Will you be picking it up? Tell us in the comments down below!
