Witchblade passes the Gauntlet around with Team-Up Variants this September

Posted on by

Image Comics and Top Cow have revealed a line-wide Witchblade Team-Up variant covers in celebration of the milestone Witchblade (2024) #25 issue’s premiere this September. Some of the biggest names in comics will put their artistic spin on Witchblade as its iconic characters make an appearance across the covers of some of Image’s most popular ongoing series.

Witchblade is a comic book series published by Top Cow Productions, which ran from November 1995 to October 2015 and December 2017 to January 2020. The series was created by Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, and Michael Turner. The comic series was made into a TNT television series in 2001 and was directed by Ralph Hemecher and starred Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini. Later, Top Cow and Japanese animation studio Gonzo produced an anime adaptation of Witchblade, which debuted in 2006.

Marguerite Bennett and Guiseppe Cafaro’s current run on Witchblade (2024) features a reimagined origin, with contemporary takes on familiar characters, as well as fresh story arcs to hook new fans and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the ’90s Image Revolution. New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life is forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power? …Or will she be consumed by it?

Witchblade will appear on the covers of:

Leviathan Freedom #2

Written by Tom Morello and Marc Guggenheim
Art by Szymon Kudrański
Purchase

The Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, songwriter, and activist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and Prophets of Rage is returning to comics for Leviathan Freedom, an all-new sci-fi epic inspired by the true story of American icon Robert Smalls. Morello first made his comics debut with the acclaimed series Orchid in 2011. Now, the lifelong comics fan is uniting with Emmy award-winning writer/producer Marc Guggenheim (Star Wars: Jar Jar, The Whisper War, The Arrowverse), artist Szymon Kudrański (Spawn; Punisher) and letterer DC Hopkins for a five-issue mini-series event from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line.

Leviathan Freedom is a sci-fi reimagining of the legacy of Robert Smalls, a man born into slavery who seized his own freedom by commandeering a Confederate warship, sailing himself, his family, and others to liberation.

In Leviathan Freedom, the galaxy is divided by civil war. And the profound human cost of conflict is felt not in the war rooms but by the Doldrums, the laborer caste essential for the war machine–until one man decides to stand against it.

Chapter 2. Smalls hatches a plot that will change the course of history for himself and the rest of the laborer caste…

Leviathan Freedom #1 is an Intriguing Start to a Sci-Fi Revolution

Leviathan #1

Leviathan Freedom is a sci-fi reimagining of the legacy of Robert Smalls, a man born into slavery who seized his own freedom by commandeering a Confederate warship, sailing himself, his family, and others to liberation. In Leviathan Freedom, the galaxy is divided by civil war. And the profound human cost of conflict is felt not in the war rooms but by the Doldrums, the laborer caste essential for the war machine–until one man decides to stand against it. Leviathan Freedom #1 is a pretty solid start setting up the revolution to come.

When it comes to genres, I’m much more of a sci-fi person than fantasy. And, when it comes to sci-fi, large space battles and revolutions are something I find intriguing. The story of a small group rising up against their overlords is something I can get behind as they tend to bring big sweeping emotions and lots of action. Leviathan Freedom #1 begins to deliver that as we’re introduced to the world and the characters within.

Written by Tom Morello and Marc Guggenheim, the story is a reimagining of real history with the main character Smalls part of a sub-class that’s a clear analogy for the slaves of the Confederacy. They outnumber their masters, ruled over by a group that knows they’re outnumbered and if there was ever a revolution, they’d be overwhelmed. All that ruling class really has to their advantage are weapons that might help even the odds.

Leviathan Freedom #1 keeps things focused taking us on a tour of the ship that Smalls calls home and painting a broad picture of the situation. It doesn’t go into small details, just keeps things broad that makes it easy to understand the revolution to come. It also introduces a reluctant leader in Smalls, a man trusted by the ship’s Captain because it’s perceived those around him will listen. the broader war itself isn’t really dived into, just that there’s a war and giant ships float around to battle it out.

The art by Szymon Kudrański is solid with lettering by DC Hopkins. The art delivers large, sweeping visuals, that help make it clear the size of the ship everyone is on and the key sequence of that ship entering an atmosphere is inspiring and looks great. While the issue does feature that, it’s mainly tight and focused on the characters as we see the struggle they all have, either in their role in life or the nervousness of being outnumbered. There’s a slight tense feeling to it all that helps emphasize this is a pressure cooker of a situation and it’s going to explode soon.

Leviathan Freedom #1 is a solid start to the series that introduces the key characters and the world but doesn’t dwell on small details readers don’t need to know and would distract. It keeps things focused on what’s important and drives the story but at the same time gives us enough sweeping situations that make it all feel rather epic.

The Legendary Saga returns in Highlander: The Original Screenplay Graphic Novel!

Posted on by

Titan Comics has announced Highlander: The Original Screenplay, a striking new graphic novel adaptation based on the original script by writer Gregory Widen, arriving in bookstores and comic shops on November 17, 2026.

This lavishly illustrated volume, art by Szymon Kudranski, presents the immortal saga of Connor MacLeod as it was first imagined – long before it became a cult-defining cinematic classic. Spanning centuries of history, epic duels, and shadowed rivalries, Highlander: The Original Screenplay follows Connor’s journey across eras as he faces other immortals in a deadly contest for a mysterious and ultimate prize.

Returning to the story’s roots, the graphic novel offers fans a rare chance to experience Widen’s original narrative vision in full, capturing the mythic scale, tragic romance, and operatic violence that made Highlander a cultural touchstone.

With dynamic artwork and a cinematic sense of scope, Highlander: The Original Screenplay stands as both a celebration of the franchise’s origins and a thrilling new entry point for readers discovering the immortal legend for the first time.

Highlander: The Original Screenplay is on sale November 17, 2026! Pre-order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, local comic shops and bookstores, and more.

Szymon Kudrański’s No Man’s Land being developed for film and gets collected this April

Posted on by

Szymon Kudrański‘s popular No Man’s Land miniseries published by Image Comics is currently in development for a film with producer Jason Berman‘s A/Vantage Pictures, as well as Kudrański and Jon Levin‘s Sustainable Imagination.

No Man’s Land is a high-stakes murder mystery perfect for fans of True Detective, Whiteout, and Insomnia. For three months each year, anyone can walk from the USA to Russia across an ice bridge: a frozen path known as the Ice Curtain. In 1963, when the body of a young woman is discovered on this icy no-man’s land, the already fragile relationship between the superpowers threatens to collapse. With nuclear tensions rising, an FBI agent and a KGB operative must solve the murder before the ice melts… and war ignites.

No Man’s Land is created, written, and illustrated by the much-celebrated Kudrański, edited by Tom Williams, lettered by DC Hopkins, and is under Kudrański’s One Man Art line, his fully independent creative banner where he creates and produces his own original works. No Man’s Land is the third solo series in a growing slate of Kudrański’s creator-owned titles that includes Something Epic and Blood Commandment.

No Man’s Land trade paperback (ISBN: 978-1534333604, Lunar Code 0226IM0506) collects issues #1-4 and will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, April 22 and independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, May 19.
