DARKNESS CLOSES IN! In an all-too-possible future following a global apocalypse, a vengeful Vampirella seizes power and imposes a crushing totalitarian order over the entire Earth - leaving her son Cicero with no other choice but to turn to evil to stop her. Meanwhile, in the foreboding present, a cyberpunk Baron Von Kreist arrives from the future, hell-bent on preventing Cicero from disrupting the coming dark future - by any means necessary! Sage prognosticators CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and ERGÜN GÜNDÜZ proffer eerily accurate extrapolations in Vampirella #5 - enhanced by enticing covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, GREG LAND, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ELIAS CHATZOUDIS, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!
