Sara Pezzini grapples with the deadly powers of the Witchblade while corrupt cops, human traffickers, and supernatural conspiracies tighten the noose around her neck. A terrifying new hunter emerges in the form of Ian Nottingham, but is he here to save her, sabotage her-or seduce her?
Its nice to see Bennett slowly moving-in to the series. The time that shes taking in setting up the full ensemble in this particular issue suggests a desire to really hang out with. Pezzini for the long-haul. Its always nice to see a writer of these caliber to say that she really just wants to hang out with one character for a long time. Other two seem to work well together. It will be interesting to see where things go from here. Read Full Review
Sara Pizzoli plumbs the depths of a police force protecting Human Traffickers and seeks those involved in her father's murder. Sara's web of deceit and life of denial make it difficult for her to accept that other superhumans walk among us in Witchblade #3. Read Full Review
Witchblade #3 masterfully mixes superhero action with David Cronenberg-style body horror to create another wonderfully riveting issue. Read Full Review
Cafaro delivers some beautifully detailed art that has a wonderfully sharp and intense visual style. Read Full Review
Witchblade remains a fun new chapter for longtime fans but also newcomers that have no idea what any of this is. Read Full Review
WITCHBLADE #3 is a headscratcher of an issue that bombards the reader with page after page of meandering narration that says little and accomplishes less. After only three issues, Erica Schultz has lost any sense of pace or urgency, so only the rock-solid art gives readers a reason to pick up this issue. Read Full Review
Much better than the last. I probably like the art more than most people in the comments, so keep that in mind. It works for me. Not Turner... but like who can be like him? I dont want to make unfair comparisons to a legend.
As for the story, we at least get the plot moving forward and some real character dynamics. I like the breakdown splash page of the police force. While there are only a couple who still try to do right, it paints a more realistic picture. There might be a fair bit a of bad, and some bystanders but there are still people trying to do right even if they get struck down.
Issue was less preachy which was nice but still a bit heavy handed. At least it felt for in place coming from the traffic victims mo more
I'm enjoying the general premise of the book, and this might have been the strongest issue so far. Unfortunately the art is a big handicap, and the writing is way too heavy handed. It comes across as preachy. I'm all for positive messaging and illuminating problems in society, but it just isn't done well here. I'm sticking with the book because I'm hoping once the plot fully kicks in it'll focus more on that. I don't foresee the art getting any better, but hopefully the writing will.
I'm going to be honest as a long time fan I seriously wanted to hate this issue. The problem associated with reboots is it alienates long term fans and kind of leaves a bad taste in new fans mouths when they try out the old stuff. To answer any questions about whether I hated it or not comes down to the fact that it was so-so on every front and that is about as much as I can say.....JM
