The ancient vampire-demoness Purgatori has made many enemies over the millennia, and things may finally have caught up with her as Dynamite Entertainment launches the new series Purgatori Must Die!.
The new series picks up from writer Ray Fawkes’ Vampirella vs. Purgatori and Purgatori series and sees Fawkes reuniting with artist Alvaro Sarraseca, alongside colorist Salvatore Aiala and letterer Tom Napolitano.
“Everything I’ve ever written about Purgatori has been building to this story – the ultimate, no-holds barred war that she’s been itching for over two thousand years. Now it’s finally happening! If she’s gotta go, you know she’s gonna go out with a bang!,” said writer Ray Fawkes.
Check out the various covers for Purgatori Must Die! #1 here…
Recently Purgatori’s control of her own mind and restraint with her power has been slipping. Not only does she suck the blood of her victims, she also absorbs not only any abilities they may have, but also fragments of their memories and personalities. Her patchwork mind has become more and more tangled through the years, and she’s recently embraced this twisted curse. Her latest victims? Gods. Who don’t take too kindly to being hunted and eaten.
The various pantheons have pooled their collective resources to offer up one historic, humongous bounty for the head of Purgatori, no matter which psycho takes it off her. Who would turn this challenge down? This thrilling third act of the Purgatori saga brings together a who’s who of Purgatori’s nemeses and erstwhile allies from across the Chaos! and Dynamite mythos. Fans can look for Vampirella, Evil Ernie, the Sacred Six, and plenty more to crash the party in what is sure to be an action-packed showdown.
Purgatori Must Die! #1 will go on sale in January 2023.
