Vampirella vs. Red Sonja #1

Despite what the title suggests, both Red Sonja and Vampirella play only minor supporting roles in the first issue of the new mini-series. Instead, the focus is on the Project (a collection of Dynamite Entertainment heroes outside time and space brought together to save all known universes against threats). While both Red Sonja and Vampirella were recruited by the group, Sonja continues to serve but Vampirella has been locked up by the heroes.

As one world has fallen, Red Sonja recruits Vampirella (sort of) and thus their shared adventure begins. I'll admit to being more than a little lost (not great for the first issue of a comic) as the series gets off to a slow start which no doubt will eventually focus more on the two characters once the story gets rolling.
