Witchblade #25

(W) Marguerite Bennett (A) Giuseppe Cafaro

LANDMARK 25th ISSUE! In the wake of the Aphrodite IX case, Sara Pezzini — and her partner, Jake — could both use some R&R. But Sara has more responsibilities than most New York detectives, and bearing the Witchblade means serving as a magnet for supernatural powers… most of which are far from nice.

The landmark oversized issue #25 represents a key turning point in the WITCHBLADE saga, and to celebrate, we are reprinting the original WITCHBLADE#25 cover from 1998 by MICHAEL TURNER! And thanks to our amazing partners, the celebration spreads across Image titles with WITCHBLADE TEAM-UP VARIANTS, including this issue’s connecting cover that joins with THE DARKNESS #8, featuring art by PAT BOUTIN & STEVE FIRCHOW!

Comic book cover featuring two female characters. One in a dark hooded cloak holding a spear, the other in a form-fitting outfit with a fierce expression. The background includes a gothic-style castle and a colorful gradient.
A comic book panel featuring a strong female character in a dark outfit wielding a gun and engaged in combat, showcasing intense expressions and dynamic movement against a monstrous figure.
A comic book scene featuring a fierce female character with long hair and a jewel on her chest, engaged in battle against a grotesque figure. The artwork showcases dramatic action and intense expressions, with dark splashes of ink and vivid colors in a dynamic layout.
A comic-style illustration featuring a mysterious, ornate hand with gemstones, set against a surreal background. The image shows a female character in profile, a man and a girl engaging with a book, and another woman holding a key, conveying themes of adventure and intrigue.
Cover of the comic book 'Witchblade' featuring a character with long hair and an intricate, skeletal armor design.
Cover of Witchblade comic issue #25 featuring a female character in a dynamic pose on a rocky outcropping surrounded by menacing creatures.

When Spawn team-up variants were announced, Gert was annoyed. When Youngblood team-ups were unveiled, Gert began sharpening her axe.
