Vampirella’s infant son, stolen by her evil twin Draculina, has finally been returned to her. But Vampi hasn’t bonded with the baby and sees him as a stranger, and the resulting pain sends her spiraling into a severe postpartum depression.

Just as things feel like they couldn’t get any worse, a mysterious figure named Cicero arrives, claiming to be her grown-up child transported back from the future — a cataclysmic time in which Vampirella, consumed by bitterness, unleashes a nuclear holocaust!

The only way to prevent this apocalypse is to give her infant back to Draculina — and Vampirella may be willing to watch the whole world burn before losing her baby again!

The legendary Vampirella creative team of author CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and artist ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ return for a brand-new chapter in their ongoing saga of the Daughter of Drakulon — accompanied by head-turning covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, GREG LAND, MARK SPEARS, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!
