Chapter Two: Burnin' For You!
With Carlos burning, the injured witch Yonna has taken off into the wild deserts of West Texas. Meanwhile, Paxton LaBelle and The Hounds of Love ride to New Madrid in victory, following divination magic to their next target.
Witchblood #2 fleshes out the world of its witches and vampires while providing its heroine with a new quest. It also manages to raise the stakes for Yonna, which any good story should do. I'm thoroughly hooked on this series after two issues and I hope to see where Yonna's journey takes her. Read Full Review
In its second issue, 'Witchblood' is an enchanting bloodbath set to Alan Jackson tunes. It's both charming and haunting, and I can't wait to see what's next. Read Full Review
Witchblood is another smash hit from Vault comics and this feels like just the beginning for what could be a big, extended world of Witches and Vampires as the future possibilities are endless and I'm very excited to see it develop. Also, don't miss the soundtrack recommendation in this issue which is a nice touch to enhance the readers experience. Read Full Review
Witchblood continues to draw me in with its characters and concepts but it's also a book that I feel like really needs to spend an issue just highlighting the world design here so that we kind of understand how everything works. It's gotten a couple of details so far but has mostly left it to implied elements without saying it outright. Which can work but I always crave that extra understanding to the how and why of it all. The fight sequences in here are great and I love how Amaya comes across both in regular form and when she faces Paxton and his gang in full. Paxton's going to be a problematic villain, however, if he continues to ramble as I'll really hope someone shuts him up. Read Full Review
'Witchblood' is a blood-soaked bag of Skittles laced with LSD. With the strangely monikered Hounds of Love killing their way across the West and our reluctant anti-heroine riding away from the danger, things are getting weirder. Paxton just might be the best villain in comics right now. Sorry, Joker. 'Witchblood' continues to be a blast, one pretty and bloody joyride through Hell aka Texas. Read Full Review
The story is coming together but the art has some hiccups that can deter the reader. Read Full Review
WITCHBLOOD #2, available from Vault Comics on April 28th, 2021, has a creative and interesting premise, but the plot structure has some rough spots and the art is a regrettable step down from the first issue. Read Full Review
