The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WITCHBLADE
#157 from Top Cow and Image Comics. The story is by Tim Seeley, the pencil work
is by Diego Bernard with inks by Fred Benes and Alisson Rodrigues.
Sara Pezzini is having a tough time making ends meet in
her new life as a private investigator in Chicago. It doesn’t help that she
spends more of her time battling the supernatural that resides in the city than her real world cases.
She winds up in the lands of Faerie that looks like similar to 19th Century
England … with the exception of all the Dwarfs, Elves, and Orcs walking around. Sara is taken
to Sheriff Godliffe who happened to be a former Witchblade wearer until it
deemed her unworthy. Sara then learns what is going on in Faerie...
This is an interesting start to a new story arc. I’ve
never read WITCHBLADE before, but enjoyed Tim Seeley’s HACK/SLASH series so I
figured I give this a try. I definitely see the Fox Mulder/Buffy mix that has been used to describe the series to me. With the help of the “previously” page, anybody has
enough information to jump into this series and move on without being loss.
That is a big plus in my book. I’m not really familiar with Diego Bernard, but
his art is top notch. If you have been curious about this series, here’s your
opportunity to jump on board and see what’s going on.
