Vampirella’s homeland has been laid waste by her mother, Lilith. Adam Van Helsing, the love of Vampirella’s life, is a one man uprising against Lilith’s cruelty. Vampirella arrives just in time to turn the tide. With their passion rekindled, the two wage bloody war all over Hell. But when Vampirella is forced to choose between her heart and her mother, what will she do? One will live and one will die!

Additionally, it does also have an Epilogue where Vampirella returns to Drakulon 100+ years in the future, having died (again) when the Earth was destroyed.

Story/Spoilers
In part #1, Waking from what she thought was the void of death, Vampirella finds herself back on Drakulon, and in the company of her long-time (and now deceased) lover Adam van Helsing. Drakulon is revealed to be a region of Hell ruled by Lilith, Vampirella’s mother. Drakulon is dying, it’s rivers of blood have run dry and the land is ravaged by foragers desperate for blood.

Arriving in the now desolate Kubek’en, Vampirella’s native city, Adam and Vampirella are attacked by Lilith’s minions who try to kill Adam and take Vampirella to Lilith. They fail. There is a link between Lilith and Drakulon, and there is not enough energy to sustain them both. Vampirella sides with Drakulon.

Finally in part #2, In one of Lilith’s temples Vampirella talks with her mother who tries to kill her. Adam saves Vampirella and they travel across Drakulon fighting many demons who try to prevent them from reaching the source of Drakulon’s blood supply. Adam frees the river of blood which sustains Drakulon, but at the cost of Lilith’s life force.

Vampirella and Lilith meet one last time as an army of demons attack Adam. Lilith explains that Drakulon will need a new leader once she is gone, and Adam is being tested for that role. The hand of God reaches out and destroys Lilith, Vampirella goes back to Earth and Adam faces the hordes of Drakulon.
