"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.
"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)
"Visceral, powerful, compelling - and unstoppable." -- Ryan North (Adventure Time, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl)
"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.)
"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)
