Witchblade #2

Despite the necessity of the first issue's origin story podling, Witchblade #2 is the real starting point, and it's awesome. Read Full Review

Cafaro delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The action was visually thrilling and as compelling as the story. Read Full Review

Not much forward momentum in the overall plot. It is important however to establish the power and effects of the Witchblade. In the last issue it only appeared to have a hypnotic effect on the host until it found Sara. Now it is a weapon of immense and brutal power. Read Full Review

Witchblade #2 is a comic of two halves. On one side there's an interesting look at the nature of control. On the other side the main character got turned on thinking about a computer mouse. Yet somehow these two sides manage to come together in a coherent and enjoyable way. Read Full Review

Overall, I think this was a good issue. Bennetts writing remains top notch and the art by Cafaro, Prianto, and Peteri matches that energy and quality. Having been a long time fan of this character theres a lot of been there done that to this issue when it comes to the previous volumes of this series, but acknowledging that this is also someones first time reading these characters is important when reading. Theres plenty of time to get into new territory, and I am just enjoying the ride. Read Full Review

WITCHBLADE #2 is an adequate character-building issue that shows how Sara is adjusting to the power and amplified senses granted by the amulet. However, Bennett's hyper-focus on Sara's experience pushes the plot, investigation into where the amulet came from, and everything else to the side. Witchblade #2 is a significant downgrade from the first issue. Read Full Review

Absolute blast so far. The descriptions of what the main character is experiencing after adopting the armor (or maybe the armor adopted her!) Gives the reader a sense that we are along for the ride as witchblade eviscerates the worst man has to offer.

The art is nice. I enjoy it so no complaints here. Something is weird with this story. I enjoyed the first chapter, and I laughed at bit in this chapter but for the wrong reasons. Everything feels really gritty but in a bad 90s way. Like I get the first series and it was a product of its time, but wasnt this series suppose to take the best of the first series and leave the bad stuff behind? It feels really edgy for no reason. Also while I go like Sara contemplating is this her own body and how does this work, am I losing control and the implications, Marguerite goes a bit too hard with this. She just repeats, is this my own body over and over and over. This is too heavy handed. I hope things get back on track but I am nervous.

I really want to like this book, but the plethora of annoying details just makes it so hard. The overall plot is solid, but there are a lot of little things in the writing that just makes me scrunch my face up. The stuff about 10 year olds and 13 year olds? The writer makes it sound like that's commonplace, but uh nah that's too much. The whole "I need to find the killer but...ME SO HORNY!" was really dumb. But what really took the cake was a guy getting pissed off and accusing Sarah of being a showoff because she "enjoyed" it too much? What guy would get pissed off and storm out because he pleased a woman too much? That's just beyond ludicrous. The art seemed like a slight step up from last issue. It's still not great, but a little better than #1. Overall this has been really disappointing so far. One of the standouts of the second wave of Image books deserves better. more

This complete reboot makes no sense to me I'm afraid as all it's doing is telling the same damn story poorly. The artist is definitely not up to Michael Turner and the script is a sodden mess. On one hand she is having some kind of sexual epiphany and swearing like an old has been but the artist shows us nothing and the next bit is so OTT and no spoilers but ouch that was drawn by numbers on a tablet. Before anyone says I'm a bit harsh I own the original No1 and was lucky enough to meet Michael Turner years ago and this he would say is just comics by numbers......JM

WTF happened to this book? I liked the first issue, but then it seems as if the editor went on vaction and let the writer go wild. Margaurite obviously has some mental issues that she needs treatment for. Sarah Pazzini was never abused as a child and wwould not hold these beliefs that are promoted in this book. Then she's horny and has a such a masive orgasm that guy gets up and leaves? I don't think this writer has ever been with a man. That would never happen. Anyway, this is drop for me. Two issues and done. Stop hiring these blue-haired activists that don't know how to write without placing themselves into the the character. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/JDeZX_Kui4M
