VAMPIRELLA VS FLUFFY THE VAMPIRE KILLER is written by Mark Rahner and drawn by Cezar Razek, with an eye-popping cover from Nick (Wolverine and the X-Men) Bradshaw.
Young, horny high school couples are being horribly mutilated by demonic Puritans. Time for Fluffy to take a study break and kick some supernatural ass! Meanwhile, Fluffy's pals are wagging their tongues at the hot new substitute teacher - Vampirella. When the iconic vampire and the teenage warrior face off, the clash is more epic than stripes and polka dots! Vampi continues to tear her way through pop-culture vampirism in dark, brutal - and cathartic - satire.
"Here's what I'm doing: putting Vampirella in other people's pop-culture vampire worlds and having her react to them - and tear the hell out of them," says writer Mark Rahner!" In Vampirella Annual #2, I sent her to the fictional town of Spoons and put her in the middle of a "Gloaming" con where all hell broke loose and everyone got showered with blood. (That was based on my trip to Forks, Washington, to see how the little town was taken over by the "Twilight" craze. I didn't get a blood-shower, but you can find "Mark Rahner Confronts Twilight" on YouTube.) The idea was to strike a balance between satire that's both biting and affectionate - hey, I'm a big horror nerd, too - and some disturbing brutality. Now I'm sending Vampirella to high school, where she crosses paths with one "Fluffy the Vampire Killer."

"Mark [Rahner] has shown that he is right writer for projects like this as he has the perfect, twisted grasp of pop-culture and what keeps satire from drifting into parody," adds Dynamite Editor Joe Rybandt. "Fluffy fans, you've been warned!"
