After tying the knot to the infamous Count Dracula in the pages of Vampirella #25 this week, the Daughter of Drakulon is travelling to Transylvania with her new husband to dig further into the Dracula Virus curse as acclaimed writer Christopher Priest continues his saga with the upcoming limited series Vampirella/Dracula: Unholy!.
To whet our appetites, Dynamite Entertainment has released a new trailer for Unholy!, which you can find below along with the covers to the first issue of the series…
This is a Dracula story like no other. Defeated at the hands of a jealous lover, the genetic code of the Lord of Evil has been preserved within a deadly virus and passed on through generations to a young boy hunted by zealots seeking to worship him and religious fanatics trying to kill him. Saved from certain death by Vampirella, the creeping genetic time bomb was arrested, only to become active again twenty years later as the Dracula Virus begins feeding on its human host.
Vampirella comes to his aid again, enacting an archaic blood rite which joins her in unholy matrimony to the man who would become Dracula. The newlyweds must now travel to the ancestral lands of Transylvania to discover more about themselves, each other, and the twisted history that has lead them to this point. Plus, blood rituals. No event series has been this pivotal to Vampirella’s world since another 25th issue lead to her death 25 years ago!
Vampirella/Dracula: Unholy! #1 will go on sale on December 22nd.
