A Perfect Jumping On PointRon Marz is well known for reviving comic mythos, particularly Green Lantern. Here he begins a lengthy and character defining run on Witchblade, mixing mysticism and superheroics. Mike Choi's artwork is simultaneously scary and scintillating.

Witch Hunt is a pretty good introduction to the Witchblade universe, especially for anyone who'd want to skip the Origins volumes (can't blame you).The core of the story is pretty strong, and a lot tighter than most I've read in similar comics, but held back by its trappings: heaps of orientalism, gender stereotypes that were already tired in 2006, and an uncritical view of police in society. The art doesn't fare much better: while the action panels can be absolutely amazing, there's just too mu...

This is a pretty funky comic. There are some really cool images that are reminiscent of Species. The overall panelling is nothing particularly interesting though, and the depictions are on the whole quite standard. However, the action scenes are quite good and there are plenty of them. Not bad at all.

This was pretty dang fun! So what do we have here? Our main hero Sara waking up for a coma. She still knows who she is and the power she has with the witchblade weapon. We are introduced to a detective named Patrick and together they begin to piece together who wants Sara killed. By the end our hero faces off against the church, well a cult church, but I like to think just church to make me smile. And then...well I won't spoil it but a big ass demon dragon comes to fight! Good: The art is simple...

This book is a sort of soft reboot for the Witchblade series, seemingly intended as an entry point for new readers. To that end, we’re introduced to Detective Patrick Gleason, an audience stand-in who becomes embroiled in protagonist Sara Pezzini’s world of magic and demons. Pezzini has recently emerged from a coma and the two are on the case to find out exactly what happened 3 weeks ago that put her in that hospital bed. Their investigation leads to a musty antiques store where they run into th...

A great graphic novel in a series that I should have started a long time ago.This is not my first time reading a story by Top Cow Productions, but this is my first introduction to Witchblade.The story begins with a hospitalized Sara Pezzini and the mystery surrounding the circumstances that brought her there.We are quickly introduced to two men who play significant roles throughout the story. Patrick Gleason is the detective tasked with uncovering the events that brought Pezzini to her comatose

It was a fun read. Officer Sara Pezzini has an artifact of great power called Witchblade, she doesn't know what excatly it is and how to use it and it seems The Witchblade kind of has its own mind too... Sara kind of wants her old life before Witchblade but they seem to stuck with each other. Sara Pezzini saves the world from some messed up cult of catholic priests in catholic church in this volume. The Classic Heroic stuff with horror elements and cops and priests. The art is beautiful and writ...

Why am I doing this to myself? This run is eventually drawn by Stjepan Sejic and I need more of his art in my life. This was the closest jumping on point to his art.The writing would be serviceable with great art and get this book a 3 stars at least but Mike Choi’s art is absolute garbage. When he forgets he’s poorly imitating Jim Lee, his characters look like they’re from a children’s book which would still be a lot better than what we see 80% of the time. He is unapologetically aping Lee and i...

Witchblade has always been a favorite of mine. Maybe because the first introduction to it was when I was 12 and I saw a live action TV episode of it. Or perhaps it's because I love this strong female character. She's a complete badass. A smart, determined human being. Yes, there are some religious connotations to this piece of work (and for that matter all of Top Cow's comics), but it never glorifies anything - in all honestly it actually vilifies the church leaders.I've started late in the whol...

Bought the book, opened it, started reading and the pages started falling out like leaves on a tree during autumn. I'm not even sure I read it in the right order.

I love the art here and the story is really engaging too

I remember watching Witchblade years ago, so when I had the chance to pick this up at Book Expo years ago, I did. I enjoyed the story and I'm curious to see what happens next. The art is fitting to the story and genre overall. However, I just get so tired of male artist's obsession with drawing disproportionately giant boobs and the cover art/extra art with boobs bursting out of leather and metal. It's completely unnecessary and frankly irritating and distracting from what's going on. Even in a

Art: 🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️ Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Really cool story - throws you into the deep end with Sara and the Witchblade. However it doesnt tell anything about how she got it. Hope that is to come in the following issues.

The story was great. The highly sexualized depiction was not.

This is a good introduction into the world of Witchblade if you're aware of what the Witchblade is, although I wouldn't suggest it to someone with no knowledge: it explains what the Witchblade is in the vaguest of terms, and someone working with no awareness of what the Witchblade is would be at least a little lost in my opinion. Still, the way in which the catholic church, and especially bad actors within the church work, propels the story along, as well as having Sara Pezzini, the current bear...

Collected here are issues 80-85 and a glimpse into Witchblade. If you are totally unfamiliar then it may be a little confusing but still a good read. Sara wakes from a coma and the only thing she knows is something happened in her church. Now with help from a Detective from another precinct to her own she has to find out what happened and in doing so she exposes both her new friend and old partner to her supernatural weapon, a secret cult like group and demonic entities.

Overall plot is ok but I have some problems with witchblade. I don't normally notice every character is straight white but I honestly have a hard time telling characters apart page to page, they all look so similar it is genuinely confusing. You also need to be prepared for casually sexy art, expect gratuitous ass and cleavage shots during critical conflict. 14 year old boys will love it.

A new favorite. I'm a completist, so starting in the middle is a little frustrating. Knowing there is a huge backstory, including help from Garth Ennis, is a huge bonus!

A dull start compared to the original material

A slow but enjoyable entry point for the world of Witchblade.
