THUS SPAKE VAMPIRELLA! Ever since her long-lost friend returned from the grave in the form of an AI-created automaton, Vampirella has been plagued by fundamental questions of existence. Is the Daughter of Drakulon an actual person? Does she have a soul? Or is she just her mother’s construct, like the simulacrum of her friend produced by the living algorithm ARIS? Vampi’s powerful emotional connection to this echo of her lost loved one forces her to confront lingering questions about her own agency and right to exist — and there are no easy answers in sight. Weighty philosophers CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and DAVIS GOETTEN gaze into the abyss in VAMPIRELLA #10 — leavened by reassuringly refined covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, DERRICK CHEW, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!
