Weekly Comic Book Review reviews Witchblade #126

Some Thoughts Before The Review: With the Witchblade artifact divided between two owners, it was only a matter of time before some sort of conflict emerged. That’s where the War of the Witchblades event comes in. The first chapter showed a break in the friendship between Witchblade owners Dani Baptiste and Sara Pezzini and then left things hanging with the introduction of a few new creepy characters. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Comic Box reviews Witchblade Annual (in French)


Ces dernières années, Ron Marz a fait sienne Witchblade. Non seulement il a subtilement changé le ton de la série mais il a aussi inventé de toutes pièces une autre prétendante au titre. Aussi c’est avec un petit doute que je me lançais dans la lecture de cet annual écrit principalement par un autre (Jay Faerber). D’autant qu’il faut bien le dire que l’histoire est relativement dénuée de repère chronologique et que le dessin d’Eric Basaldua a un je ne sais quoi de l’écurie Aspen et donc, par moment, des faux-airs de Michael Turner. Non pas que ce soit mal en soi mais tous les éléments semblaient donc réunis pour promettre une sorte de bond en arrière, ne tenant pas compte des ajouts de Marz.
