Comic Book Jesus reviews Witchblade #121


I’m a recent convert to this title, after the awesome Vol. 5 TPB and the even more awesome talents of artist Stjepan Sejic. Writer Ron Marz continues to build upon the mystical gauntlet’s mythos and shows once again that his deft hand is capable of fitting in to any genre.

However, that doesn’t mean Sara has half of the trouble to deal with.
