Let's kick off our annual Countdown to Halloween with a post for Wednesday Women. This week we spotlight Vampirella Halloween Horror #1 from Dynamite Entertainment, which came out the last week of September. This one-shot issue is a must for all Vampi fans with good artwork and an interesting story with a great twist. Here's the official summary:
