I recently used a reading order guide to get caught up on all dynamites run of vampirella comics. I also did some research on her past before that. So dynamite starts out as a continuation of the 90s comics. Where her mom is the biblical Lilith and Vampirella was her attempt correct her past. The Drakulon angle was kind of left by the road side during that time and everything was way more classically supernatural eith heaven and hell. I do enjoy those comics things feel a bit more fun horror adventure pulp.

Then when the current Christopher Priest run started she whent back to being an alien. Certain things like.demons angels and some magic becomes God like aliens and science we cant understand. Her mother becomes a former Jon of Arch type figure corrupted then driven mad by the loss of her child. Theres also a constant reminder of the separation between things that are supernatural and sci fi. I like Priests run a lot after years of vampirella being reset for random stories it feels like she an actual world/ solid continuity. My one complaint is Priest likes to do things non-linear and do a lot of flash backs. Reading month to month its not a problem but it gets a little tired when your just binging it all.

I should give praise to the apocalypse setting spinning out of the 90s vengance comic. Its a different flavor im glad we get. Where she's still a supernatural vampire with a much heavier tone.

So my question is which version of her do you prefer?

I finally finished the GG series a few days ago now I'm reading the iron snakes books then the two aeronatica ones. Over all I can see why people are annoyingly defensive if this series.

PROs : The character growth is amazing. The cultures of Tanith , Vergast, and Belladon all feel very distinct despite being in a single regiment. This is one of the few times the forces of chaos are depicted as a unique culture and not a ravenous mob. Character deaths always seem significant with a few exceptions. Making space marines and the inquisition rare so it feels more like a human conflict makes the series stand out.

CONs : Some of the books just feel like filler you have to power through. The chaos forces aren't really fleshed out till book 8. Saint Sabat is handled kind of clumsily. The Merrin story line wasn't bad it just whent on a little too long. The woe machine siblings were hands down the biggest WTF part of the entire series.

I loved this series to start I think it's a master class on character work and development. Seeing the forces of chaos not be just bloodthirsty cultists but have their own culture and language was amazing. Early on I was expecting the Archon or Anarch to be just a word bearer. Making them both human really makes this series a human conflict between imperial and chaos cultures which is a nice change of pace. Still I feel like some of the books just feel like filler where nothing really happens and Abnnet hadn't decided where he wanted to take the series. I still feel like Saint Sabat was handled pretty badly. She's dead but still active then high commnd picks a randomngirl to declare as her reincarnation only for that to actually happen. No one can tell me that Dalin and Yoncy being woe machines was something Abnett planned from way back in book 3 or 4. The rational was Gol Kolea their real fathers memory was lost or hazy do to a head wound you took after joining the ghosts. But that happened after he discovered his kids were alive. The crucial detail being he has two boys not a boy and a girl. So Yoncys existence would have been a red flag early on for. I really think Abnett had taken a break tk write other stuff. When he came back to GG he saw the Kolea/ Kriid kids just laying around and decided to do something big with them.

Anyone in the north Houston area looking to get into or get some regular necromunda going? Im in conroe so the spring woodlands area is ideal but im OK to travel.

He's a tragic character sometimes used as comic relief but I always feel for the guy. Even when he was kind of a jerk back in the 2000s. I always thought Glob got kind of a raw deal even by mutant standards. Ive always been a little worried he'd be one of those mutant that fades into the background for years then only pops up to get killed as collateral at the start of a story.

Its my first time painting in awhile and first time with orks. I'm still working out some color formulas.

Fire me iffin you dare.
