Summary: A Witchblade MUST Read!
Review: I am familiar with just about everything that has been produced under the Witchblade franchise and I think this is probably the single best Witchblade story to date. The text novel format offers depth and a level of sophistication that a comic or TV episode simply can not match. The book starts when a series of bizarre murders puts Detective Sara Pezzini on the trail of a legendary cursed samurai sword. Sara wants to stop the killer, but the Witchblade seems to have its own agenda, very creepy! The text is heavily researched and chock full of historically accurate names, dates, places, and events from Japanese history, all cleverly strung together into a compelling narrative. This story walks the line cleanly down the middle of the comic and TV versions of Witchblade. The characteristics of the Witchblade and supporting cast could have been easily drawn from either source so this should be easy for fans of either version to get right into. It's not encumbered by much of the ongoing subplots from the comic or TV series, but does introduce several new characters including a new love interest for Sara!
The author, Mike Baron who is known for gritty realism, does a really nice job of giving "a day in the life" type perspective throughout. The characters and world they are set into seem very authentic. This really enhances the believability of the supernatural elements of the story. This is very refreshing as this type of credibility is often hard to find in this genre. I recommend that anyone who has any interest in Witchblade buy this book. It is the best Witchblade "fix" you are going to get for quite a while.

Summary: Bike on!
Review: Witchblade: Demons by Mike Baron, like the first two Witchblade novels,
is based on the comic book storyline and characters. We get a couple of
appearance by Siri, some lurking by the Internal Affairs guys and Jake
is on vacation. Sara 's partner for this case is an officer name Raja. What we have is a case only Sara and the Witchblade can solve: a
Medieval Samurai ghost looking for his sword. The subplot includes a 15
year old female nemesis/ally, a couple of imaginative fight scene and a
interesting aspect or use for the Witchblade powers/armor. Baron does a wonderful job of describing post 911 New York along with
Sara's reactions to the changed landscape. If you like motorcycles,
Baron does a great job of describing Sara's bikes as well as her
enthusiasms for riding. If you don't, it will probably be dry reading
for you and seem like filler. The use of the Witchblade in this story
is both intriguing and baffling. To say more would give away the best
part of the plot. I of course enjoyed the book and read it in one sitting. If you are new
to Witchblade this is not the book for you. If you are aware of the
comic book or the TV show, you will enjoy it.
