A Question About Witchblade

[Dougy]

Witchblade look interesting to me but I've been waiting for the best time to get into the series. According to an advertisement for #116 a new "era" begins with that issue. My question is, would it be a good issue for a new reader, who's never read Witchblade before, to pick up?

Thanks in advence.

Hi Dougy,

It sure is. Ron Marz is working hard to make this a "ground level" read, which means you'll get all the background you need in the first 3 pages and then can jump into the new story line. We'll be posting a preview in the next few weeks so just be on the look out and you can judge for yourself!

Take care,

[Dougy]

Thanks filipsablik. I'll keep my eyes open for the preview.

personally, I'd start with one of the Image trades of the first series. they're small (only 2-3 issues each).

[Dougy]

Yeah, I'll probably check those out as well.

don't be fooled by the new era thing...it's a way to make witchblade seem appealing...

[Dougy]

So...you're saying it's no good? Hmm...I think I'll get the issue and decide for myself.

Hey Dougy, you can also pick up the new, rebranded Witchblade Vol. 1 trade paperback. It collects Ron Marz's first storyarc on the title from issue #80 - #85. The best part? It's only $4.99. You can pick it up at your LCS or order it from the Top Cow Store HERE (http://topcow.com/store/product.php?productid=1292&cat=31&page=1).

I loved that first arc, but I felt that the quality declined steadily from then on - the "origin" issue (92) was particularly bad.

I finally had to drop it after First Born - which was hard, considering how well this run started. But not even the great art can support such trite storytelling.
