    • Napříč kontinentem se pomalu sune Město. Po kolejích, stále znovu pokládaných a vytrhávaných, sleduje přízračný bod optima. V jeho zdech žijí lidé v přísné organizaci a řádu. Helward Mann odchází z města Země za svěřeným úkolem a netuší, co ho čeká za hradbami. Díky evidentním maličkostem, jež nemůže ignorovat, mu pomalu proniká do vědomí realita okolního světa. Planeta se nezdá být Zemí; svět a vesmír se zásadně liší od jeho znalostí. Svět je převrácený; planeta nekonečné velikosti existuje v konečném vesmíru.

Is she a streetwise runaway human preteen, or is she Vampirella's deadly siren night-stalker evil twin?

Establishing a secret identity for herself as "River East", high-profile socialite daughter of the missing and presumed dead Lilith Ogden Eastaughffe, Draculina presses forth with a secret, evil agenda of bloody retribution against everyone who's ever done her wrong, with only Katie-her alt-self-standing between her and her deadly goals. Draculina is a wild, fast-paced ride through the literal reverse sensitivities of our altruistic Vampirella, brought to you by Christopher Priest & Vengeance of Vampi artist Michael Sta. Maria!
