The horror icon Vampirella returns to her roots, courtesy of Bram
Stoker Award-winning author Nancy A. Collins (Sunglasses After
Dark)! Vampirella is sent by the Vatican to investigate the
kidnapping of a little girl by Ethan Shroud and the Chaos Cult, only
to become the centerpiece of a ritual invoking Lady Umbra, the
sister-bride of Chaos, that leaves her marked as a living sacrifice to
the dark goddess who rules the shadows. Hunted by the Mallus
Maleficarum, an elite hit-squad of monster-killers also known as "The
Witch-Hammer", she finds her world abruptly turned upside down... and
herself unexpectedly allied with the strangest bedfellow imaginable!
