As the title implies "Vampiverse" is a multiverse adventure with a multitude of Vampirellas. The plot is fairly simple and not really that relevant to the enjoyment of this book, since the real focus is all the different versions of Vampirella on display. There are at least 40 different versions in the book including some that are key to the plot and others that are found only in the included covers and art material. In addition to the traditional Vampirella found in most books of the title, there is a wide range of variants including a time travelling futuristic space ranger, an invisible woman , a robot and an "Alice in Wonderland" inspired version.
Dynamite has already did this same story for Red Sonya. This one is done better though. It's your standard multiverse is in danger story. There's an evil Vampirella who is killing all the other Vampirellas in the multiverse. The most fun part is seeing all of the different iterations. Most of the ones on the gazillion covers do not make it into the interiors.
