If you’re a fan of multiverse-hopping adventures starring a variant of your favorite space vampire, you’re in luck. Tom Sniegoski and Jeannine Acheson return to the Vampiverse for a brand new adventure starring the series’ more enthusiastic variants – Lilith.

VAMPIRELLA: DARK REFLECTIONS #1 begins with a Cult of Chaos ceremony in progress to bring the Chaos Lords forth on one of the Thread Earths. Suddenly, a Black & White Vampirella named Lilith, wearing retro space gear, arrives through a portal to break up the ceremony and keep the Chaos Lords where they belong.

Later, Lilith is thrilled to learn her latest sortie earned her a position as a full-time agent of the Reality Corps, an organization that operates at the Nexus of the Vampiverse, aka the Weave. As a full-fledged agent, Lilith is given her first assignment – investigate why Vampirella and the Earth of Thread 9285 have suddenly gone radio silent.

Before Lilith can leave for her mission, she’s ordered to visit the Reality Corps head scientist, Pendragon, to get bonded with her new ship. Lilith is thrilled with her gift but slightly unsettled that Pendragon imbued the ship with the personality of Lilith’s deceased little brother, Adam.

Lilith and Adam (now nicknamed “Brat”) head to Thread 9285 to find waves of supernatural resistance. When they enter Earth’s atmosphere, they find the cities in ruin, covered by a silky, weblike substance. Suddenly, Brat is attacked by gigantic moth-like creatures. Brat forces Lilith to eject so he can lead the flying monsters away.

Lilith is attacked by another moth monster in mid-air. She manages to kill it, but not before crashing into the middle of a sports arena where Lilith finds a group of impregnated women with strange symbols written on their bellies. The situation goes from bad to worse when new threats attack, giving Lilith more than one surprise for her first mission.
