Vampirella Vs Purgatori

Purgatori (collected editions)

by Ray Fawkes, Álvaro Sarraseca (Artist)

The unholy alliance you prayed would never happen! For countless generations, the fight between good and evil has been fought, as much behind the scenes as in plain view. Unbeknownst to the world at large, one force has stood as a safeguard against the potential triumph of evil and the unleashing of the The 36. Now, someone is after them, a creature of evil known as Purgatori, and the only thing standing in her way is Vampirella. So with all of existence hanging in the balance, what could possibly bring these two enemies to join forces? Whatever it is, it must be really bad. Collecting VAMPIRELLA VS. PURGATORI #1-5.

[C.T. Phipps · Rating 4 out of 5]

A crossover between Vampirella and Purgatori that is really just a Vampirella story with Purgatori added to it. Lilith wants to destroy the world by corrupting one of the holiest people on Earth that keep God from smiting everything (fair enough) but Purgatori and Vampi both want to stop this. Vampirella is fine and does her usual heroics--except at the end. Purgatori, by contrast, isn't much like her usual lesbian world dominating imperious self. She's kind of evil but not that much more than Vampirella and actually tries to befriend her. Weird.

This was fine. Kind of your standard fare for this corner of Dynamite. Vampirella is fighting Lillith yet again. Lillith can destroy the world if she can corrupt just one of the 36 pure humans on the Earth. Purgatori is sort of helping Vampirella while also playing her own game. The art's solid. Because this is Dynamite, the collection has about 40 alternate covers at the back.

not truly Purgatori as too bland

Purgatori’s character was way off. Lilith did not seem smart. Art was good. Just the story was very bland. Only for the fans of vampires art.

I think they should kiss...
