Witchblade and Vampirella are set to cross paths once more for the first time in over two decades as Top Cow and Dynamite Entertainment join forces for a pair of comic book crossover one-shots featuring the comic book titans.
The collab begins in August with the release of Top Cow’s Witchblade/Vampirella #1 from Witchblade series writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Laura Braga, before Dynamite follows in September with Vampirella X Witchblade Special #1from writer Erica Schultz (Xena: Warrior Princess) and artist Valentina Pinti.
“This is the kind of crossover that only works when everyone leans in—creatively and as partners,” said Matt Hawkins, President and COO at Top Cow. “You’ve got two iconic characters, two publishers, and a story that doesn’t play it safe. It puts Sara and Vampirella on a collision course where trust is fragile and the consequences are permanent.”
“It’s been over 20 years since Witchblade and Vampirella teamed up,” added Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher at Dynamite Entertainment. “The previous stories were fantastic, and we needed the right creators to ensure that we were bringing even more compelling stories to the fans. Working hand-in-hand with Top Cow, we were able to do just that. These stories will excite fans and we can’t wait to get these stories into fans’ hands.”
Here’s the details for Witchblade/Vampirella #1, along with covers by Braga, Joseph Michael Linsner and Sveta Shubina…
Detective Sara Pezzini has seen her share of things that go bump in the night… but nothing like this. When a mutated vampire descends on the city, leaving a trail of blood and chaos, even Sara is pushed to her limits. Just as hope begins to fade, help arrives in the form of a legendary hunter of the undead: Vampirella. But with Sara already infected by the creature’s bite, time is running out. Will Vampirella be forced to stake first, ask questions later?
And Vampirella X Witchblade Special #1, with covers by Stjepan Sejic, Lucio Parrillo, Francesco Mattina, Joseph Michael Linsner and Carla Cohen…
When an ancient curse is unleashed on New York City, Det. Sara Pezzini – the Witchblade – is on the case. But when she herself is infected, who can defeat her?! Enter Vampirella… Vampirella has spent millennia defeating the forces of evil. Now she must come face-to-face with the Witchblade, and that is not a foe so easily defeated.
Witchblade/Vampirella #1 will go on sale on Wednesday, August 26th 2026, with Vampirella X Witchblade Special #1 following on September 23rd 2026.
