May 23, 2011One of the standard-bearers for anniversary/milestone issues as far as I'm concerned. Well worth the extra dollar for any Witchblade fan, and a great jumping on point if you're looking to dip your toe into the Witchblade (and Top Cow) Universe. Read Full Review

May 19, 2011Witchblade #144 includes a back-up "Secret Origin" tale of Sarah's boyfriend, Patrick Gleason, that is fun, if not particularly up to par with the rest of the issue. The book is priced at $4.99, but also includes a stellar cover gallery in addition to the two stories and afterword. Not a bad deal for a book that has some high quality painterly artwork in addition to top-notch storytelling. Read Full Review
