AND WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND WHICH VOLUMES & ISSUES GO WITH EACH NEW VAMPIE-REIMAGINED STORY LINE?! IOW: WHY IS THIS VOL.1 ALSO #39?! Someone needs a freaking brain!!

O.k. It's a kind of a corny story. Vampirella, please. ...Don't waste your time. The dialogue of the character was like talking with someone from Hollywood, Ca., full of it and so undetached from humen emotions.

I was sorely disappointed to find that it is a reboot of a reboot of a reboot of the 1969 comic. A very pale imitation of Forrest Ackerman creation. I guess the "olden days" truly are gone forever.
