Summary: women will be offened by this
Review: The violent/adult content of this comic is very offensive to both women,and for serious readers who want better stories then this drek.

Rating:
Summary: Witchblade is second to none!!!
Review: This graphic novel, a collection of the first 8 issues of the Witchblade comic book, is absolutely superb in its storytelling and artwork. Michael Turner is one of, if not the best comic book artist ever. He and Christina Z. make a terrific pair in making Sarah Pezzini and her surrounding characters come to life

Summary: One of the greatest comics I've ever read...
Review: This is seriously one of THE absolute best comics to come out in the last ten years. I'd grown seriously tired of the cliches and stupidity of comics in the early to mid-nineties. They were becoming stale with all the same design styles and just nonsensical storylines. There were a few exceptions at the time, X-Men being foremost among them but, to get back on the subject- things weren't going well for the comics industry at the time. Along comes Image comics (some of the guys who created some of the problems the comics industry had back then to begin with) and they begin creating a slew of other stories that pretty much have almost nothing to do with super heroes. Witchblade was one of the top-tier titles among this new string of incredible comics. Top Cow Productions has created essentially a crime drama/cop show with some of the super hero trappings. The main character, Sara Pezzini, is a heroine that many people can relate to fairly well. She's got a strong sense of right and wrong but isn't afraid to step over the line if she needs to. She's a very independent and very strong female lead. Not something you see every day in the world of comics. The artwork is incredible, the storyline just as incredible as the artwork and the characters believable. What more could you ask for in a comic? Not much, if you ask me. My reccomendation is to pick up this book and check it out. Unless you're really hard-nosed and stubborn about things, this should be an obvious choice.
