If Dynamite Entertainment is experienced in anything, it's in their ability to breathe new life into familiar fictional characters. In two of their most recent series they have done exactly that. Earlier today the publisher provided Comic Vine with an exclusive peek at the upcoming issues of LORD OF THE JUNGLE #5 and VAMPIRELLA VS. DRACULA #4.
In VAMPIRELLA VS. DRACULA writer Joe Harris continues to craft a story that will pit these two vampires against one another. Stuck in the past, Vampirella continues to seek a way out of the past and away from the wrath of the 'Order of the Dragon.' What will happen next?
Not to be outdone, writer Arvid Nelson continues to tackle a completely different genre in his re-telling of the story of Tarzan in LORD OF THE JUNGLE. In the series' fifth issue, Tarzan is still playing hero and Jane continues to feel torn over her love for the "Lord of the Jungle" and her desire to return to her former life. What will become of these two characters?
Check out the cover art to both issues below and let us know if either of these titles will be making it to your pull list. Both books will be available in stores this April, 2012.
