We've seen a lot of crossovers between Marvel and DC lately. The trend has been that we get one comic with a character's name featured, followed by another issue that flips the headliner. Hence, "Deadpool/Batman," as well as, "Batman/Deadpool" and more. I suppose Top Cow (an imprint of Image) and Dynamite wanted to get a piece of the fun (and make some scratch) because, for the first time in 20 years Witchblade and Vampirella are teaming-up for, "Witchblade/Vampirella," #1, by Marguerite Bennett and Laura Braga as well as, "Vampirella/Witchblade," #1, by Erica Schultz and Valentina Pinti.
I'm all for different comic-book companies having fun crossovers, as in a worst-case scenario, we just get silly fan-service, but in a best-case scenario, we'll be able to enjoy some creative takes on popular characters having some new/rarely seen interactions. Both characters have a slight horror and sci-fi bent, are popular for occasionally cheesecakey art, and the creative teams are great writers and artists. Keep your eyes peeled for the first crossover issue in late August; it should be a fun read!
