With the lines drawn firmly in the sand and both Sara Pezzini and Dani Baptiste carrying wounds from their battle, the stakes have never been this high.

Two hold the power of the Witchblade, but not for long, as the War of the Witchblades Part five (this issue) settles the matter.
This title has gotten my attention in the past because of the art…and, after this issue, that remains the only attraction that I have to it.
This issue stormed forward like a Cliff Notes book. I felt like I was reading the summary of a story that already took place, it raced ahead so fast.
Which made the characters bland, stereotypical, and the art that I liked in places came off, in some sequences (like the bridge panels) as, I don’t know, too showy, too much special effects, kind of screaming ‘Look what I can do!’ The concept of the Witchblade is cool, in its way, but it needs more Buffy the Vampire Killer humor and teenage angst to get me to read it more.
