Crossover Covers: Prophecy

This miniseries from Dynamite Entertainment involves Red Sonja being transported through time to the year 2012, where she fights her old foe Kulan Gath alongside Dracula, Vampirella, Pantha, Dr. Herbert West, Eva (daughter of Dracula), Athena (the Greek goddess), and Ash Williams. A series of flashbacks to 1890 features Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Allan Quatermain, and Dorian Gray, who possesses the same dagger wielded by Gath. As Sonja is thrown forward and backward through time, images of a number of other characters are seen, including Indiana Jones, the Three Musketeers, Quasimodo, and the Phantom. There are a number of other characters seen in these sequences that don't fit into CU continuity: Dynamite's version of the Green Hornet, which doesn't fit with the NOW Comics stories of the '80s and '90s; the company's take on Flash Gordon, which has a very different version of Flash's origin story; the Lone Ranger appearing alongside Zorro, a reference to the Dynamite miniseries The Lone Ranger: The Death of Zorro, which contradicts the circumstances of the latter hero's death in the movie The Mask of Zorro; the characters of Project Superpowers, a series featuring a number of Golden Age superheroes brought into the present day; and Evil Ernie, whose stories take place in a world devastated by nuclear war. I have chosen to interpret these as cross-promotional cameos and disregard them for the purposes of the CU.

Crossover Covers: Hell on Earth

In this storyline, the Parliament of Demons seeks to give Dracula the power belonging to the god Chaos. The Parliament allows Dracula to use its forces to attack Earth. In response to this, the Conjuress sends her agents, including Vampirella and Pantha, to battle Dracula and company. For the most part, I have followed Win's example by only listing a few stories where Vampirella meets Dracula, since there have been several over the years. However, there is another crossover in this story. One of the Parliament's agents is a vampire named Orlok. Based on his name and physical appearance, he is clearly Graf Orlok from F.W. Murnau's silent horror film Nosferatu, which was loosely based on Bram Stoker's Dracula. Obviously, Orlok must have been resurrected after his death at the hands of Eva in the miniseries The Darkness vs. Eva: Daughter of Dracula. Eva first appeared in "Ash vs. the Monsters," a storyline from the Army of Darkness comic book that also featured her father. However, in both the miniseries Prophecy and Vampirella Halloween Special 2013, she meets the same version of Dracula that Vampi regularly battles, and he apparently doesn't recognize her. Presumably, the Dracula that appeared in "Ash vs. the Monsters" is a different "soul-clone" of the real Dracula than Vampi's foe.
