About the author
Eric Trautmann
264 books16 followersEric Trautmann is a comic book writer, editor, and graphic designer.
For several years, Eric was a writer and editor for West End Games' acclaimed Star Wars roleplaying game line. After leaving dice-and-paper gaming behind, Eric then moved into videogames, an early recruit into Microsoft Game Studios' nascent entertainment licensing apparatus.
While at Microsoft, Eric wrote and edited in-game dialogue, story bibles, marketing materials, and original fictional content for the web.
Among the titles that Eric helped develop were the smash-hit HALO: Combat Evolved (including editing chores on the first three HALO novels for Ballantine / Del Rey, as well as writing The Art of HALO, also for Del Rey); Crimson Skies (creating a strongly immersive in-universe website for the pulpy, two-fisted adventure setting; editing weekly serialized online pulp novellas; and editing and contributing to Del Rey's mass-market paperback fiction anthology based on the setting); MechWarrior 4; and Perfect Dark Zero, acting as a story consultant to the property and helping to develop a fiction publishing program in support of the game.
In addition, Eric has consulted on videogame properties for EPIC (drafting a story bible for the Gears of War franchise), story development for Radical Entertainment, and delivering talks on the craft of writing in games to various publishers (notably, Blizzard Entertainment).
After leaving Microsoft, Eric wrote a six-issue miniseries for Perfect Dark (titled Perfect Dark: Janus' Tears), published by Prima Games, as well as editing and lettering an original graphic novel prequel to the hyperviolent videogame Army of Two, titled Army of Two: Dirty Money (written by John Ney Rieber and illustrated by Brandon McKinney).
While developing Perfect Dark Zero's novel program, he edited Perfect Dark: Initial Vector and Perfect Dark: Second Front, scribed by Greg Rucka (and published by TOR). The collaboration proved fruitful, and Eric was later invited to write a fill-in issue of Greg's DC Comics superhero/espionage title, Checkmate (which led to a half-year stint as co-writer on the title, ending his run with issue #25).
Checkmate led to several other DC Comics projects (as both writer or co-writer), including Final Crisis: Resist, JSA Vs. Kobra: Engines of Faith, The Shield, Mighty Crusaders, Adventure Comics and others.
Eric currently writes the continuing adventures of classic sword-and-sorcery heroine, Red Sonja, for Dynamite Entertainment.
In November 2010, Eric's debut issue of a revitalized Vampirella (also published by Dynamite Entertainment) was released to widespread critical praise and excellent sales (Vampirella #1 was the best selling non-premier publisher title for Diamond Comics Distribution in the month of its release).
In addition to writing comics, Eric is a graphic designer and marketing consultant, through his Fedora Monkey Studio, which offers (among other services) logo and branding design, intellectual property development, and viral marketing (such as the infamous "Montoya Journal" to promote the DC Comics' series The Question: The Five Books of Blood).
Eric splits his time between Raymond, Wa (where he resides) and Lacey, WA (where his wife runs the best comic shop ever).

Collects 8-11. The first 3 stories featuring a trio of vicious creatures from hell is amazing. The art by Fabiano Neves (8&9) is beautiful and creates an atmosphere which is perfect for Vampirella comics. The story is fast paced and action packed to keep the reader invested.
The last story about an exorcism gone wrong is not as good as the earlier and the art is different where Vampi seems really scrawny.

I liked Volume 2 better than the first. I'm still not particularly impressed, but the change in writers and artists was welcome at the end.
Still, not one I'd push on anyone.

While not as meaty as the first volume, Crown of Worms, A Murder of Crows continues the action orientated theme of the series, this time pitting Vampirella against a trio of avian horrors hell bent on destroying her.
Some broader plot elements are starting to take shape here as the series plants seeds for the long haul. Hints are dropped about Vampirella’s mysterious agent, the person/organisation who assigns her missions while also further exploring the sci-fi elements and other worldly connections Vampirella has. Personally I would’ve liked to see more emphasis on pulply horror, luckily the last issue in this collection caters to that niche with Sofia taking part in an exorcism.
Overall this is an ok second arc made better by the semi-standalone issue rounding out the book. 3/5 stars.

Maybe it is not the Vampirella I grew to like, but damn this was so much fun.

Vampirella: Asesinato de cuervos, es un tomo sensiblemente más corto que el anterior y, como podéis observar en la ficha, en él unen fuerza muchos más artistas. Hay dos estilos diferenciados, ya que en esta ocasión el cómic se divide en dos partes: una historia principal (que da nombre al tomo) con tres seres demoníacos como antagonistas, unos a los que Vampirella, ayudada de la sarcástica humana Sofía, se enfrentará. Las Karasu Shimai (que es como se llaman este trío de engendros infernales con muchas curvas y mala leche) sirven al Duque del Caos y entraron por una puerta abierta cuando Vampi portó durante un rato la corona de gusanos (y no quiero spoilear más, pero ¡es inevitable!).
Este primer tramo del recopilatorio me encanta en cuanto a guión y estilo gráfico, siguiendo el estilo del anterior (para gustos, colores).
La segunda parte es un relato en el que conocemos a los benefactores de la sexy vampiresa, que atraen a esta y su compañera humana a la sede para una misión. El estilo cambia radicalmente, con trazos más imprecisos y perfiles de los personajes muy distintos (Sofía ni siquiera parece la misma; se me antoja más joven). En esta historia corta nos vemos transportados a la mente de la chica, siendo testigos de cómo enfrenta el mal en unas escenas oníricas y a su pasado cuando está despierta.
Lo que está claro, es que yo espero el siguiente número con ansiedad (Mi cara: *___*). Ya he sido "vampirellizada", ¿y tú?
Recomendada a los fans de Vampi y los amantes del urban fantasy.
Lo mejor: La historia. Los chascarrillos de Sofía y la chulería de Vampirella.
Lo peor: quizá el estilo visual del relato extra que, en mi humilde y profana opinión (muuuy profana), rompe el conjunto, pero por otro lado nos ofrece otra visión de los personajes y el entorno de estos.

The art was fantastic! The colors popped off the pages!
Vampirella is drawn sexy! Jaw dropping lay hot, sex drips of the pages. Her face, her hair, her curves... Jesus!
And what is better than one Vampirella? Two Vampirellas fighting to the death! 💀

You know, this one is getting a solid 3, maybe a 3.5 on a better day.
This 4 chapter volume definitely felt more like filler than the one before this. The three crow sisters, Karasu Shimai, were great foes. I thought their sleek designs were great to look at, and certainly their MOs were keeping up with the kind of creepy edge we've. come to enjoy, but none of it felt like the story was really moving? We got a pretty weak connection to the eldritch worm we had heard of last volume, but that's where the connections start and end. I'm sure that in a way that's good for a side story, kinda sucks if we're not even into our third arc and that's where we're at.
I certainly feel in this one that I don't have all the pieces to the puzzle for lore. In our last arc, it felt more like a "inexperienced and experienced fans, come one, come all" situation, and especially in the last chapter it felt really strange and hard to access? Like, in one chapter, Vampirella is very protective of Sophia not getting too deep into the network of benefactors that Vampirella interacts with, and then they're all vibing in one place? No shift? It also seemed like a different art style, so I guess it must be a guest chapter, but if only they actually took more than two seconds to reorder things so that the plot didn't feel totally derailed.
The art was decent, I guess. Nothing to write home about. I mentioned that the Karasu Shimai were designed well. The designs and perspectives were a little less inspired than the last arc, but that's alright. Some action lines were harder to parse out or get on the first time.
Either way, I guess I didn't regret finishing this book. I think I have some more Vampirella-related content to read up on, so maybe it'll all come together.

Ah, Vampi, Vampi...
Continuamos a história que começou no Crown of Words e eu já comentei algum tempo atrás.
Aparentemente, com a derrota da Grande Minhoca, alguns buracos de minhoca para os reinos infernais ficaram abertos e alguns demônios saíram por aí tocando o terror. Os corvos do título são três irmãs demônias corvas - a wikipedia disse que é assim - que saem matando estrada a fora aqueles que são imorais, covardes, enganosos e mais alguns, quando encontram a Vampirella pensam que dá pra fechar a cartela do bingo matando nossa musa vampírica, mas, com Vampirella, o buraco e mais embaixo e saímos na porradaria por umas cinco edições de ação, violência, vampirangues, ajudantes mirins, explosões e detalhes. Pequenos detalhes, porque, para derrotar demônios sanguinários, o esquema é prestar atenção nos detalhes.
E uma outra história, essa bem meia boca, sobre como prender demônios na Terra, é bem óbvia, na verdade.
Como sempre, aquele climão de filme dos anos 80, esse, particularmente, com aquela pegada de filme de ação, pancadaria e quase nenhuma história, só aquela série de coincidências notáveis para virar página. A arte é bem legal, a menos bundas empinadas do que se esperaria, e a Vampi continua de calças de couro, menos nas capas. As capas são um pouco complicadas de explicar.
No final, gibi da Vampirella sempre é divertido.
Não tem erro.

Really short, but good.
I'm new to this series. This book is a lot better than the first one, but I'm giving it a lower rating for its short length, final story, and too many filled pictures. There is a lot of art in this book that adds nothing to the story being told. I like the relationship between the two protagonist and I love artwork here, but I don't consider this a great book or a must read. It was good though and I'm hoping the series continues to get better as I read more books.

I really like the relationship/friendship (I haven’t decided) between V&S. They’ve faced hell together and came out the other side stronger for it.
Very terrifying bad guy in this one, to me way scarier than the first one. The Crow Siters were creepy AF with their vengeful killings and masks and that. Really unsettling imagery, was great.
Loving how this series is developing, looking forward to the next one.

The artwork has improved considerably. The female characters are gratuitously sexy for most of this volume, just like I like 'um. The covers are also top notch. Still, I'm skipping to the next series. This one isn't going anywhere.
In half the volume, Vampirella is being hunted by the Sisters ot the Crow. Their battle can swing either way until Vampirella whips out the tactics.

... we keep climbing down the mystery hole
Despite the stories in this volume not being as good as the one in the initial volume, Fabiano's art is simply amazing and makes us want to turn the pages to keep reading and get to see the the end of the three masked enemies. The last story leaves us with more questions... But we will get there!

Good art, but a bit of a downshift in terms of plot. It's the issue that a lot of tv shows (like Heroes and Dexter) have; when you start with an apocalyptic threat or their ultimate foe, going to a "serial killer of the week" format is hard to pivot too.

Very short. A 3.5 read, but rounding it up.
I liked this one and thought the antagonist trio were awesome! I definitely agree with some people in the reviews about this feeling disjointed, but I enjoyed nonetheless.

The story was pretty simple Vampirella versus Demon yakuza. What made this volume better was they got a much better artist. Unfortunately, that artist did not stay around for the final issue of the volume, but that’s how it goes in comics.

Everything that I disliked about first volume continued but art got worse and story simpler. Therefore I will not continue with reading

Great story's and the art is really good 👍
I have enjoyed the Vampirella searese and will continue to get them as they come out I would recommend them to anyone

This is a sad follow up to the first of Dynamite's new (in 2010) series, but read as part of the whole it's nice
Mostly:
Not much in the way of plot
Art wavers back and forth
None of the concepts are fully explored or actualized
Good ideas, poorly pulled off
Some of Vampirella's outfits are great though
I still like the first and third of these volumes the best

I read this in single issues, not the collected volume, but I would assume the content is the same. It's actually a couple of standalone stories and one multi-issue piece. All of the pieces are relatively strong - the first issue is a standalone about Sofia facing the 'little' monsters of her life, which is a strong feminist issue with a fairly cathartic scene helping to add some depth to the sidekick character. The next three issues feature the titular characters, a trio of crow-masked assassins. It's basically an extended action sequence which plays out with some thoughtful strategy. The final issue is a possession story with a different perspective. It doesn't offer much in the way of closure for the overarching story, but has its moments.
All in all, it's a decent collection. Art is okay to good (and Vampirella spends half her time in conservative attire), and the action is pretty good. Nothing long-term memorable, but still an enjoyable read.
