5.0 out of 5 stars Witchblade is second to none!!!, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Artwork and Complex Storytelling Combined., October 22, 1999

By A Customer

Please ignore whoever write the one star review of this book. Sure, the faint-hearted might find it a bit grusome, but it is worth picking up for the artwork itself. Turner, D-Tron, and JD Smith put together some of the best artwork you will see in comics today (or ever). The story is a bit overcomplex and leaves many open ends, as is to be expected in any comic book. However, it reads like a true cinematic masterpeice, leaving small clues in the artwork and dialouge, leading to a dynamic climax.

If you are are a sequential artist or aspire to be, or just like a well illustrated story, pick up this book.

PS - I found nothing offesive to men OR women!

5.0 out of 5 stars My first comic book read, October 8, 2002

By	Annie (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews

I loved the Witchblade series on TNT. Recently TNT announced they would be canceling the series. I've never read a comic book before in my life but I thought I would give it a try. I loved this book. I didn't realize that such an interesting story could be told via a comic book medium. I was very pleased with the book and will be ordering Vol. 2 soon. If you aren't sure if you would like a comic book but like the series, rest easy, the comic books are every bit as good as the series. By the way, I am a woman and did not find it offensive.
