Vampirella & Red Sonja Celebrate Valentine's Day 2022 with Two Covers by Sozomaika


Though it seems far away, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. In 2022, Vampirella and Red Sonja are observing the occasion in their own special one-shot titles. A range of talented creators, including breakout cover artist Sozomaika, is set to tell lovestruck and romantic tales of two of Dynamite's biggest stars.

Artist Sozomaika is beloved for her artwork on social media, of comics, anime, and video game characters alike, and at conventions. Dynamite is proud to have noticed her brilliant work via a gorgeous Vampirella illustration and is among the first publishers working with her to bring her unique style to a broader base of fans. Each Valentine's Special features a stunning Sozomaika take on the two powerful and beautiful heroines. Superstar Lesley "Leirix" Li also contributes a cover to each, and model Rachel Hollon swaps her outfit for the pair of cosplay covers.

Rising writer Chuck Brown, of the Eisner-nominated hit Bitter Root, leads the charge on Red Sonja's romantic escapades. In a magical land far from Hyrkania, she's temporarily developed supernatural abilities to manipulate fire. In "Burning Love," she must venture into this land where powerful warlords possess ice powers, and one among them has literally exchanged their heart and soul for power. Can Sonja take down this formidable force?

Love is no easy emotion and drives to navigate as a mere mortal. Let alone as a superpowered, alien, vampire woman such as Vampirella of Drakulon. Fans will join writer and colorist Dearbhla Kelly, among others, this February for a trek through love, hate, and their complicated combinations, in Vampi's Valentine's Special.

The VAMPIRELLA VALENTINE'S SPECIAL 2022 and RED SONJA VALENTINE'S SPECIAL 2022 are solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ December 2021 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in February 2022. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the issues with their local comic book retailers. They will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!
