The beautiful African American lady got here into Vampirella’s life and alongside different newcomers, set her on fairly the curler coaster journey. The two have been briefly lovers, and Victoria discovered herself enamored by Vampi’s exceptional skills – and even her iconic costume. Along the best way she’s since been bestowed with a cursed, demonic ring and turned in opposition to her buddy by Lilith, the mom of Drakulon.
This summer time Eisner-winning author David F. Walker, of such critically acclaimed hit series as Bitter Root, Naomi, Planet of the Apes, Shaft, and extra, is joined by artist Brett Weldele (The Surrogates, The Beauty) are leveling up Victory from a pawn within the grand recreation, to a main participant. With a gorgeous white variation on the basic Vampirella costume, and her newly granted powers, how will she depart her personal mark on the world, good or unhealthy? Fans can even get to see which previous foe (or buddy..?) is about to indicate as much as cheer her on.
“Victory is an interesting supporting character, but the thing to keep in mind is that she’s been a supporting character, and for me, those characters are always more fun to write,” stated Walker. “When you take a successful supporting character and elevate them to leading character status, it is important to remember that what you’re doing is adding to someone that already exists – it’s like adding spices, or even ingredients, to a meal that’s already been cooked. The key is to enhance what is already there, and in my mind, the best way to do that is to explore previously unknown aspects of who they are, and then take them to places that challenge what they think of themselves.”
With every web page devoted to the character’s particular person story, readers will get a a lot deeper take a look at Victory out and in of the costume. The series will dive into each her previous and current, together with her largely unrevealed traumatic childhood. Weldele is a good match for increasing this lore, along with his distinctive painted fashion and expertise.
Weldele added, “It’s natural to want to make the definitive version of a character, especially one who has a lot of story left to be told. As a painter, I gravitate towards other painters – Frazetta, Sanjulian. I admire the linework and atmosphere of Jose Gonzalez. Big shoes for sure, but I think with my two decades in this industry I’m bringing something unique to the table. I want to explore that sense of atmosphere, but with a modern flair. It’s also fun to world-build around Victory and what her solo adventures entail. We’re imbuing Victory with the flavor of exploitation films that David and I love. It’s the secret sauce and a common theme in our collaborations.”
Look for covers by Dave Johnson, Bryan Hitch, Ariel Diaz, Carla Cohen, and Geebo Vigonte. Cosplayer Alicia Marie additionally portrays Victory for the character’s first devoted cosplay cowl, with fan-favorite Rachel Hollon guest-starring as Vampi.
