Tom Sniegoski And Jeannine Acheson Return With ‘Vampirella: Dark Reflections’ This Summer

by Erik Amaya

Over the years, Tom Sniegoski and Jeannine Acheson have written a lot of Vampirella — Sniegoski, in particular, has written more Vampi adventures than anyone else with over 100 issues to his credit. And although both took some time off from the character, they return this summer with Vampirella: Dark Reflections.

Dynamite announced Thursday the co-writing team will be joined with Daniel Maine on art for this latest tale. Dark Reflections sees an “unexpected protagonist” taking the lead to uncover what became of one of the multiversal Vampirellas. Lilith, daughter of a Vampi, goes “through the looking glass, tasked with investigating an anomaly in the Fabric. Working for the Reality Corp., she learns that the Vampirella of this reality has gone eerily silent, broken and beaten by the spawn of Chaos in the battle of good and evil.”

Now it’s up to Lilith to cross the multiverse, meet different Vampirellas from varying circumstance, and restore the beaten Vampi to fighting shape once more. Nevertheless, this will be a darker tale featuring a Vampirella who has lost everything.

“It was really cool getting to develop the new character of Lilith, Vampirella’s daughter, who we first met in the Vampiverse mini-series, into her own distinct person,” Sniegoski and Acheson said in a statement. “We hope to do more with this unique version of Vampirella in the future!”

Supporting the debut issue will be covers from Jenny Frison , also returning to the character after an absence, Lucio Parrillo, Jay Anacleto, Joseph Michael Linsner, and a number of cosplay covers with the first featuring Joanie Brosas.
