Witchblade Reborn: A New Era Begins with Bennett and Cafaro
Fans of the iconic supernatural series WITCHBLADE can rejoice as Top Cow Productions announces a bold reimagining of the beloved comic. Scheduled to launch in July 2024, the new WITCHBLADE series promises to captivate both long-time enthusiasts and new readers alike.
The renaissance of WITCHBLADE is spearheaded by New York Times bestselling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and renowned artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). Together, they are set to honor the legacy while charting a fresh course for the series.
A Legacy Reimagined
In the new WITCHBLADE #1, readers will follow Sara Pezzini, a New York City Police Detective whose life is irrevocably altered by her father’s murder. As she delves into the city’s criminal underbelly, an encounter with an ancient force transforms her into something beyond imagination. The question remains: will Sara master this power, or will it consume her?
Modernizing a Universe
The creative team is not only revitalizing the character of Sara Pezzini but also the world around her. With input from original co-creator Marc Silvestri, the WITCHBLADE universe is being updated to reflect contemporary themes and aesthetics.
A New Chapter for a New Generation
Bennett and Cafaro’s collaboration is set to introduce new story arcs and character developments that resonate with today’s audience. Their vision for WITCHBLADE is described as “sleek, vicious, and ferocious,” with a narrative that explores power dynamics in the 21st century.
