While trying to come to terms with the power of the Witchblade and its control over her, Detective Sara Pezzini delves deeper into the supernatural forces around her and the mystery behind the cover-up that destroyed her father. The path leads her and her partner into a life-or-death battle where the past and present collide!
Bennett and Company are doing a very impressive job of making this particular iteration of a series of work in a way that it's rarely worked in the past. It's working on so many different levels. It's doing so with great sense of style and poise. Hopefully the current momentum can continue into the future. Bennett has taken her time with developing all of the different fundamental angles of the character. Previous iterations of the franchise has provided a lot of potential president for the current series to explore if Bennett wants to. She's a really good writer, though. She could find something completely new. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future. Read Full Review
Detective Sara Pezzini accelerates her investigation into turbo mode in Witchblade #5. Yet the harder she works to find her father's killer, the deeper she dives into the depravity that surrounds his murder and the evil forces that would make her life a living death. Read Full Review
Cafaro's art is visually exciting and beautifully detailed. I love the visual style of this series and how every page has something to see and enjoy. Read Full Review
So this issue is a real mixed bag.
Pros- The plot does move forward. We get to see Sara do her detective work and that is good. In character, relevant.
-A nice fight scene. Action is nice to see.
Cons- While the plot moves forward honestly this issue feels so meandering. It feels like plot points are moving forward for the sake of moving it forward, I dont feel tension. This book is starting to veer into the boring territory which is a terrible place for any book to go. That is how books get cancelled.
Neutral. Art was good but not as good as it usually was.
All in all, we need to start to see momentum in this book. Otherwise I don't think I am going to get much beyond issue 8, and surely more
I want to like this so much more than I do. The writing is awful, the egg yolk scene was the cringiest thing I've read in a comic in a long time. The art is mediocre. I'm sticking with it because I'm hoping it improves, and I like the general direction this reboot has gone, but it just isn't executed well on any level. I wish there was a different creative team on it.
