"Hard-boiled supernatural noir hypercharged for the 21st century." - Kieron Gillen (DIE, PHONOGRAM) The first volume of a new Witchblade series combines a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that rekindles the energy and excitement that fueled the 90's Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators. New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini's life was forever fractured by her father's murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. Electrified with power strength, healing, pleasure, and rage, every temptation lures her from her mission to find her father's killer. Sara thinks she possesses the Witchblade -- but does it possess her? Includes issues #1-6 plus the Witchblade #1/2 origin story from 2021.
About the Author
About the Author
Marguerite Bennett is an American comic book writer. She has worked on Bombshells, Angela, Josie and the Pussycats, and her creator-owned books InSeXts and Animosity. Her work has been recognised for her depiction of female relationships, and her representation of LGBTQ stories and characters earned nominations for a GLAAD Media Award in 2016 and 2017. Marc Silvestri made history as one of the founding partners of Image comics in 1992. Creator, businessman, savant, writer, teacher, artist... these are only a few of the words that one would associate with Marc. His characters, artwork, and creations have made billions of dollars for Marvel Comics as well as his own company, Top Cow Productions, that he founded in 1992, as a partner of Image Comics. He is well known for his work on iconic Marvel titles such as The X-Men, Wolverine and The Incredible Hulk. As CEO of Top Cow Productions, his mandate was specific; produce the next generation of heroes and do it different than everyone else. Marc masterminded the Top Cow Universe through properties like Cyber Force, Witchblade, and The Darkness. When Hollywood started its love affair with comic book characters in the mid-1990s Marc helped position Top Cow as a vital production company in film and television. In addition to comic books, Marc has acted as Executive Producer in a variety of other media including the Witchblade television series and anime series, the Wanted feature film, the A-Team feature film, and two successful video games based off of The Darkness. Marc's much anticipated Batman/Joker team up book for DC comics will no doubt showcase his ongoing commitment to innovate and strive to always evolve as a creator and artist.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Fast-paced and relentlessly entertaining. A great introduction to the character of Sara Pezzini, and for longtime fans, an equally great and very welcome re-introduction."--John Layman (CHEW, Xena: Warrior Princess, Thundercats)
"An origin story that hits hard and fast! Bennett and Cafaro's Witchblade is a gritty and exciting reimagining that leaves you desperately wanting issue two!"--Chip Zdarsky (SEX CRIMINALS, Batman)
"Bennett and Cafaro bring a roaring rampage of high-octane action with a lot to unpack under the hood."--Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk, Avengers Inc.)
"Visceral, powerful, compelling - and unstoppable."--Ryan North (Adventure Time, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl)
"Bennett manages to distill the vibe of the original tales into something new. More importantly though, she applies her greatest strength; strong dialogue and big feelings, to Sara Pezzini, one of the best characters to come out of Image and Top Cow."--Tim Seeley (LOCAL MAN, HACK/SLASH)
