Vampirella Enters the Realm of Pathfinder!
Erik Burnham Kicks Off the Quest Through Paizo's Beloved World
|
July 17, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Welcome to Golarion! Dynamite Entertainment and Paizo Inc. are proud to present the next project in their nearly 15 years of ongoing collaborations, as the Daughter of Drakulon enters their beloved tabletop fantasy realm in new comic series Pathfinder / Vampirella: Blade of Darkness this October!
It's a world of swords and sorcery, a place where adventurers tempt fate, monsters lurk in every shadow, and powerful beings seek ever more power. One such figure in the realm is the vampire lord Zaloch. He's performed a haunting ritual, one told to summon a figure who will give vampires a new advantage against any who would seek to destroy their kind. To his surprise, the subject of his ritual summons does not result in a raging, fearsome demon... but Vampirella!
Then, right as the raven-haired antiheroine enters the fray, monster hunters show up. Rife with chaos, dark magic, battles with life and death on the line, this unexpected crossover will rival any fantasy and roleplaying romps. Some of Pathfinder's most legendary heroes get tangled up in the mayhem too, as partners on and off the battlefield Kyra and Merisiel, the elf rogue and human Sarenite, join the fracas!
Writer Erik Burnham makes his Pathfinder debut, tapping back into his fan-favorite writing of Vampirella from her past crossover with Dejah Thoris. Burnham is otherwise known and revered by fans for his works with Red Sonja, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more. He's partied up with artist Federico Dallocchio, who was at the forefront of reviving the Suicide Squad at DC, and other titles like Star Wars, Starcraft, and more.
"Golarion is a fantastic sandbox to play in, and the only complaint I’ve had so far is that I only have so many pages to explore it!," said writer Erik Burnham. "Not only has introducing Vampirella into a new world full of gods, monsters, and heroes been a treat for me, so has getting to write those gods, monsters, and heroes for the first time — and knock on wood, not the last!"
Burnham and Dallocchio are joined on this quest by past Pathfinder pencilers Steven Cummings and Andrew Huerta who contribute covers to the series. Prolific RPG and gaming artist Wayne Reynolds also does character sheet covers. Collectors can chase after rare Pathfinder collectibles via the premium mystery blind bag too.
Readers are invited to roll the dice and enjoy this new adventure, as Vampirella navigates her way through the world of Pathfinder! Visit www.dynamite.com for more news and information.
