Behold... Purgatori, the vampire goddess! Born a slave in ancient Alexandria, she refused the life of servitude, rising up against her masters and claiming an unnatural power as her own. In her long life, she has dined on kings and queens, and toppled countless empires across the globe... but now, she finds herself again on her knees, a slave to her unquenchable thirst! Lucifer, the lord of Hell, has stripped Purgatori of most of her power and exiled her to Earth, where her insatiable need for blood threatens to overwhelm her sanity. Her only hope for regaining her full stature is by acquiring the Chalice of Regeneration, a cup from antiquity lost to the desert sands. But Purgatori has a rival for the prize, an old enemy with an intense grudge. And even if the vampire goddess can once again attain her former glory, can she withstand the machinations of Lucifer, the weaponsmith Cremator, and Purgatori's own blood clone?

Purgatori! She’s got the memories of thousands of people in her head! But who is she, really? She might be able to figure it out if only people would stop trying to kill her, eat her, become her, conquer her, feed themselves to her, die in entertaining ways, all of the above... literally ALL the time. But maybe that’s… someone’s plan? Maybe if she stops and thinks, everyone’s in real trouble. Let’s find out! IN THIS ISSUE.

This is it! The big finish! The culmination of three miniseries! The ol’ apocalypse is here! Wait a second, the apocalypse?! Yes — turns out you can’t exactly have a war of the gods without a little ragnarok… and Purgatori’s technically a god now. Is there a way out of this that doesn’t destroy the world? Is Purgatori just going to kill everyone? Maybe! Guest-starring Vampirella, the Sacred Six, Evil Ernie, and more!

Back in hell, Purgatori must find Lucifer and force him to return her powers. But she's going to have to take a number because there are other denizens of hell with designs on killing the Lord of Lies. If the vampire goddess can overcome these obstacles, how will she ever get Lucifer to return her powers?

With the chalice of regeneration in her hot red hands, Purgatori is one step closer to regaining her powers. But in order to get them back, she's going to have to return to the fiery pits of hell...this time as a mere mortal. Don't miss the Hell and Back story arc's action-packed penultimate issue!

Doomed to spend her days as a mindless ghoul, Purgatori struggles to keep her sanity. As if that's not enough for the vampire goddess, an ancient and mysterious enemy wants her dead. Purgatori will have to rely on her wits to get out of this one... but how will she survive if she can't think past her overwhelming thirst for blood?
