Is VAMPIRELLA #667 Good?
In the previous issue, Vampirella finds herself living a seemingly normal life on Earth, oscillating between her role as a school teacher and her time with her husband, Matt. However, she experiences troubling recurring dreams involving a blonde version of herself, hinting at a deeper disturbance in her reality.
In this issue, the dreams persist, leading Vampirella to seek guidance from a psychiatrist. As the dreams intensify, she begins to realize the presence of elements from her past and other series, suggesting a reality shift. Ultimately, she confronts the revelation that she may have altered her own reality, culminating in a cliffhanger with a grenade explosion.
The issue heavily relies on elements from the Vampirella Interstellar Arc and the ongoing Vampirella Dracula Rage miniseries. These connections deepen the story but may require readers to be familiar with previous arcs for full comprehension.
