Writer Erica Schultz and artist Adriana Melo are taking a long weekend — a Vampire Weekend, if you will — and heading to the beach for Dynamite’s Vampirella Summer Special 2026.
While one normally wouldn’t think “sun” and “vampires” mix, it’s important to remember Vampirella is an alien or something. And per PR from Dynamite, in the story “Rising from the Ashes,” Vampirella, “finds herself a whopping 2,000 years in the past. Immediately up to her eyes in drama – instead of the surf she was relishing – it’ll only get even crazier when the nearby volcano starts rumbling and is certainly not dormant. Vampi was looking for an island getaway, and she’s getting more than she bargained for!”
Schultz previously wrote for Dynamite on Charmed and Xena comics, before heading off for killer work at Marvel on X-Men, Daredevil and Hallows’ Eve, as well as Rat City and Gunslinger Spawn (coming up) for Todd McFarlane’s line at Image Comics.
While Dynamite didn’t provide when this issue is coming out (gonna say… June? July?), in addition to regular covers this will also have a “premium mystery blind bag offering available, featuring three limited-edition variants of the issue.”
You can check out covers by Melo, Shannon Maer and cosplayer CucumberCosplay, as well as three penciled and inked pages below.
