Vampirella/Witchblade: Convention Special
Issue #1 (July 2004)
Union of the Damned [Story - Justin Gray: Art - Liam Sharp and Jimmy Palmiotti] (from Vampirella/Witchblade: Union of the damned)
Vampirella: The Robin Syndrome [Joyce Chin, art; Jim Catapano, story; Mike Conley, letters] (from Vampirella Magazine #7)
This is what used to be called an "ash can", but I suppose calling it a "convention special" helps sell more copies...
Basically, the comic features Liam Sharp's penciled art for the upcoming Union of the Damned collaboration. As a tool to sell the Union of the Damned comic it works well, the artwork is stunning (unspoiled by text boxes and speech bubbles) and the interview with Liam is really interesting.
The three pages of black and white previews for Vampirella Magazine #7 don't work quite so well, with only the Joyce Chin page really grabbing the imagination of the reader.
