When I closedWitchblade #180 I realized it was what I wanted it to be. “Darkness Falls: The Death of Jackie Estacado” handles it's responsibilities from start to finish as it comes highly recommended. Read Full Review
But if you are generally current with the Top Cow universe, buckle up for a terrifyingly good ride. Read Full Review
Its safe to say then, that Witchblade #180 is a great start to celebrate the nineteenth anniversary of the series. David Hine, Gabriel Rearte & Betsy Gonia work well together to create an excellent new arc that will explore the death of Jackie Estacado hopefully to its maximum potential. Theres plenty of room for this story to progress from here and itll be very interesting to see whats on the horizon next month, and the cliffhanger ending will surely have readers coming back for more.

Witchblade, during this arc and with this creative team, is off to a great start. It's an engaging story that's accessible to new readers especially with the quick recap in every issue. Get on board now so not to miss the conclusion of what's sure to miss a seminal event in Witchblade history. Read Full Review
Before we end this review let's reveal the questions to our answers from before. No you shouldn't care that Jackie and the Darkness are going to die. I counted at least six panels where randomly Sara was posing like a super model or turning at an insane angle that defied logic and spines, so yes this book is still an excuse to get T&A. And the continuity is just as confusing as any X-Men comic. Read Full Review
It's okay, just okay. Jackie isn't even in the issue, other than his head at the beginning; I have a feeling this is going to be anti-climactic. The sketch artwork almost works, it needs a little more refinement in many panels. The Magdalena back-up is decent, being so short hurts a bit because she seems to be chasing ghosts, i don't know who she's saving or why; but for such a short story it does a mostly a good job.
Disappointing to say the least.
