Vampirella Strikes Vol 2 1

"You may find this hard to believe... but sometimes I scare myself. Sometimes I stand back and take a good long look at who I am... and what I've done... what I continue to do. And some days, what I see there... it really frightens me."

Living in a world of growing supernatural threats, Vampirella never knows what she will be facing from one moment to the next, but what she finds waiting for her in her Boston Brownstone when she returns from a night of hunting is the most unexpected of all.
