Mark Waid Talks With Brandon Jerwa About Vampirella
Vampirella is an amazing woman who is constantly forced to put aside her own struggles to take up the fight for a race of people (us) that she doesn't actually owe a damn thing to, and that's remarkable to me. I also love the fact that we now have an era of Vampirella comics that featured[...]
