Pop quiz time.Recently in the pages of its eponymous Top Cow comic book series, the mystical weapon/artifact the Witchblade was split between two bearers, where traditionally it's had just one. And next month in the pages of Witchblade #125, a six-part story arc called "War of the Witchblades" begins...
So what do you suppose the story arc is about?
Yup, it's pretty straightforward – it's Sara Pezzini vs. Danielle Baptiste in a steel-cage grudge-match (or is that steel-armored cat fight?) for the unified title. But that doesn't mean there won't be any twists and turns along the way, or that it's easy to predict the winner. We recently spoke with series writer Ron Marz to handicap the fight's odds and to set the stage for readers, whether you're a long-time Witchblade reader or someone thinking about giving it a try...
Newsarama: So Ron, Top Cow has you’ve made it pretty clear what the main plot point of War of the Witchblades is - Dani vs. Sara for all the marbles. So before we try to pry what we can outta you about what pits them against one another, let’s lay some groundwork...
Ron Marz: For anyone who hasn't been with us the last couple years, the condensed version is that New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini was once the sole bearer of the Witchblade. But for the past couple of years, the Witchblade has been split between Sara and Danielle Baptiste, an aspiring dancer who is also the daughter of Sara's police captain. That's been a fairly happy arrangement, with each wielding essentially half of the Witchblade, until recently, when a rift developed between Sara and Dani. That rift is pretty prominently displayed in Witchblade #124, which goes on sale this week. READ MORE.
