Vampirella, Vol. 2 #9 (Dynamite Entertainment 2015) Mike Mayhew Regular

The Dragon Chariot: Vampirella in The Accursed, Chapter Three

Vampirella, Vol. 2 #9 (Dynamite Entertainment, 2015) continues the chilling arc The Accursed with The Dragon Chariot. Written by Nancy A. Collins, art by Patrick Berkenkotter, and cover by Mike Mayhew, this 32-page, full-color installment keeps Vampirella front and center in a myth-meets-horror showdown.

In this third chapter, a fresh outbreak of black rabies—an illness that drives sufferers to homicidal frenzy—forces Vampirella and The Kabal's top field agent, the werewolf Tristan, to Athens, Greece. Their mission: locate the second Accursed tied to Dr. Faustus' world-ending scheme and confront the conspirator Medea—the legendary sorceress, granddaughter of Helios and immortality-bound by Zeus' decree—before she can unleash the contagion across the globe.

As Vampirella bets against time, she threads through ancient myth and modern conspiracy, seeking the source of the cursed blood used to create the murder plague. This issue blends bold artwork with suspenseful storytelling, delivering a standout entry in the Vampirella canon for fans of occult horror, mythic intrigue, and serialized superhero horror.
