Colorist: Adriano Augusto

Bloody Good Time

There are so many things that I could say about this issue, all of them good. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but Tom Sniegoski really brought his A-game here! With all of this massive build-up to Armageddon, I’ve been constantly left on the edge of my seat, helped by how it was written. While some might complain about the overuse of narration, I personally love it. It all perfectly sets not just the tone and tensity, but the events in the final pages of the book.

In the actual dialogue, however, came a surprising amount of good humor! Intercut almost perfectly with the horror and drama were these much needed, chuckle worthy jokes. I find the humor here really works to make these characters feel real and relatable, showing how even they react to traumatic events. Overall, this book was a fun and stellar read from start to finish. I’m beyond excited to see where this all leads in next month’s finale!

Art of the Kill

Edu Menna and Adriano Augusto once again both worked their magic here. The lines and detailing from Menna really continue to make the characters pop off the page. Everything looks both insanely real and intensely stylized at the same time. Mix that with Augusto’s almost gothic painting-like style and you have yourself pages that look unique and inspired. This is the duo that any comic writer should have as their “work with” goal.

Final Thoughts

When the writer, artist and colorist all come together to create a triple threat, you know you have something amazing on your hands. From the humor-laced intensity in Sniegoski’s writing to the gothic realism of Menna & Augusto, “Vampirella: Armageddon #11” is a must add to your collection this week! With next month set for the finale, now’s as good a time as any to get caught up!

Overall Grade: 10/10
