Witchblade Volume 5

From writer Marguerite Bennett (Batwoman, Animosity), artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Catwoman, Red Sonja, Soulfire), and colorist Arif Prianto (Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo, Wonder Woman) comes a thrilling reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the ‘90s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.

In the wake of the Aphrodite IX case, Sara Pezzini - and her partner, Jake - could both use some R&R. But Sara has more responsibilities than most New York detectives, and bearing the Witchblade means serving as a magnet for supernatural powers. Sara continues to investigate the mysterious death of her father, which leads her right into a life-or-death conflict with a mysterious warrior, setting the stage for the return of one of the pillars of the Top Cow Universe, The Magdalena! The mysteries of this secret order of the Vatican are revealed as Sara dives deeper into the darker side of the Top Cow Universe!
