Finally... I remember when the 1st issue of Witchblade came out. I read it and thought that the story had promise, but I hated the 'fan-service artwork'. It really seemed as if the writer and the guy tracing stripper pin-ups never even communicated at all. Sara was written as a tough NYC detective and drawn like a b-grade porn actress. When the TV show started, I was on board, the show was fun and really gave the book's mythology a chance to shine. My wife asked me about the comic and I checked out a couple of issues at my comic shop and was too embarrassed by the T&A factor to pick one up. I told my wife to enjoy the show and forget about the comic. The less said about the anime version the better. Last week I saw issue 125 of Witchblade and for some unknown reason I picked it up and was surprised: Sara actually was wearing clothes, [...] the story was great. I saw the ad for the reduced priced 1st Ron Marz trade (issues 80-85) and decided to pick it up. 6 issues, under[...] with a very good story that was very new-user friendly. Needless to say I will be picking up the next one straight away. (And yes, I will be giving it to my wife to read)
Good comic, but sadly misleadling. I won't deny that the Witchblade series isn't good, but unfortunately this collection leaves something to be desired. Now this is my first time buying a comic volume before and so I wasn't completely aware of what I might be getting into, however, I would think that when something is published as Volume 1 then it would consist of being Issues #1 - Issue #whatever. Sadly, only after I special ordered it and started to go through it, did I come to the unpleasant realization that this was not the case.
Now, this might sound like some griping, but honestly this was a dumb idea on Top Cow's part. The only reason I even got this volume was because I wanted to read the entire comic after watching the TV series. So, to my great surprise, I have now wasted money on a volume I can't even read yet and may even have to return. Great job Top Cow...
Great Reboot I must confess that I am new to Witchblade. Although I red the first numbers, I never got to deeply know the characters. Ron Marz creats an excellent atmosphere to develop great stories, and we also get the chance to know better the main characters and personalitites.
It is a highly recommended book if you're into this kind of comics.
Witchblade gets better and better In this volume, a new edition of the old volume 10 of Witchblade, we find Sara Pezzini getting out of a coma and trying to hold back the apocalypse while her old partner is on coma on a hospital (as a result of trying to help Sara). We are also meet a new character, Glasgow, who is a nice counterpart for Sara, and a character who doesn't know a thing about the Witchblade, so this is a good volume for people to get onto the Witchblade's train as some things will be retold so Glasgow will get to understand them.
Also we will find a new enigmatic character called the Curator, who seems to know a lot about the Withblade but it's not telling a thing...
The drawing is awesome, very improved and incredible, highly detailed; and the plot is superb.
