 Witchblades Sara Pezzini will always be my favorite character...the original one I mean. I'm not sure what to make of this new Pezzini. She's more hardened than the original and just as tough but it feels like there's something missing. Maybe it's just because I'm only three issues in.

This issue was interesting and delves more into Sara's work as an undercover dirty cop. That spin on the character is definitely unique and shakes things up. It makes for some very interesting reading. We are introduced to Siry this issue as well.

The writing for this issue was really on point and the story moves well. That being said, the art sucks. Again all characters are completely unappealing, I can't tell if that's on purpose or not. Even the cover was unattractive and usually the cover has the best art to attract new readers. If I hadn't read the first two issues based on the cover art alone I would have passed this up in a shop without even bothering to look through it. The colors don't make up for the bad art but they make it tolerable.

Another really good issue writing wise but again another artistic disappointment. The original Witchblades is still leagues better but if you're looking for a good story with a strong female main character I'd recommend this one (but I'd also suggest you pick up the original series first).
