Synopsis[]
A police detective interviews Katie Carva at the Detroit Medical Center. He lists recent events and points out how she was found naked and in a confused state both at the Comic Planet incident, as well as at the hospital. Katie cannot begin to explain what happened without revealing the truth - that she transforms into a magic blade-slinging dominatrix that slays alien parasites. The interview concludes, but the detective is not satisfied with her lack of story.
Katie Carva's mother picks her up from the hospital and brings her back to the family mansion so Katie can pick up a few things. What she needs to do is go through her old Vampblade comics to see if one of them might yield a clue as to why she is now the embodiment of her favorite 1990s superhero.
When she enters her old bedroom however, she finds her brother, Kevin, having sex with another boy. She's grossed out by the fact that they would do this in her old room.
Katie finds her old comics and begins thumbing through them, reliving tales of the fictional Vampblade carving her way through space vampires. She learns that the "space vampires" are called Glorkians and they hail from a planet called Zar. They journey from world to world as a conquering race, possessing fresh host bodies until it is time to infect the next planet.
Unsatisfied with the nonsensical concepts provided by the comics, Katie decides to go out and get drunk. She meets up with some friends at the Tempius Bar. It isn't long though before she begins feeling the presence of Glorkians within the bar. She downs three shots and approaches one patron, who is clearly possessed by such a creature.
She strips off her clothes (so as not to lose them this time) then summons the Vampblades. She attacks the Glorkian and slashes at it, spilling its orange blood across the room. After exorcising the Glorkian from its host, she takes the unconscious patron out out of the bar. She intends on questioning him later.
