Witchblade #131 & Albany Comicon covered by Albany's Times Union

This is their fourth Albany Comic Con– they average two a year. And each one gets bigger than the last. Matt tells me they’ve put more time and resources than ever into this one.

One impressive new offering is their exclusive custom variant cover for WitchBlade issue #131. Only 250 copies of this version of the comic have been printed. WitchBlade is currently written by Ron Marz who’s pretty close to local and the variant cover art is by Matthew Dow Smith from Saratoga. Both Marz and Smith will be attending the Con so it shouldn’t be hard to get your copy autographed.
