“Every trading card set is special for collectors, but we really wanted to up the ante on this one to commemorate all the exciting storylines taking place in Vampirella’s world recently, and especially all the brilliant artwork,” Mariano Nicieza, Director of Research and Development and lead on the trading cards program, said in a statement. “Especially coming from all our talented sketch artists, there will be a jaw-dropping pull in every pack.”
The Vampirella Unholy Deluxe Ultra-Premium Trading Card Set will be available in October.
