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

Posted on by Leave a comment

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:

When a mutated vampire descends on the city, leaving a trail of blood and chaos, even Sara is pushed to her limits. Just as hope begins to fade, help arrives in the form of a legendary hunter of the undead: Vampirella. But with Sara already infected by the creature’s bite, time is running out. Will Vampirella be forced to stake first, ask questions later?

Fine Print Vol. 3 TP

(W) Stjepan Šejić (A) Stjepan Šejić

In Volume 3 of FINE PRINT (aka “Why sex with gods is NOT a good idea”), we dive in deep and discover that not all winged things are angels, not all horned ones bring damnation, and surprise-surprise, no amount of unbridled bliss can actually solve your problems.

Like any painkiller, bliss only takes you so far.

This is a lesson that unlucky-in-love Lauren Thomas is going to have to learn the hard way, despite the aid of some of the underworld’s foremost incubi. Even in Lauren’s unique position – having divine entities at your romantic beck and call — wrestling with the past is no one’s idea of a good time. Not that things are any easier for the immortals in Lauren’s orbit; whether you execute contracts or shoot heart-shaped arrows, interpersonal dynamics always end up complicating things.
