Like the majority of the stuff coming out of Top Cow, the artwork is quite good and the writing is pretty excellent. Making a story like Witchblade, which has been around for more than 15 years at this point, resonate with readers is quite an undertaking, and Marz manages this task deftly. In the books addendum, Ryan Cady Top Cows production assistant has written a great little informational area called The Witching Hour with the intention of getting readers up to speed regarding some of the more complex subjects in the book. Its a terrific supplement to the book, taking its lead from Matt Hawkins similar stuff in Aphrodite IX and Think Tank, and for people like myself who have been out of the Top Cow loop until recently, its greatly appreciated.
