\"Witchblade[ENGLISH] Top Cow tells us:<\/strong> LOS ANGELES, Calif., February 16, 2009 \u2013 Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that the company\u2019s flagship title, Witchblade, will reach issue #125 in March 2009, and the publisher will celebrate this landmark\u00a0event with an oversized issue including a bonus story.\u00a0 Witchblade #125 brings the series\u2019 critically acclaimed team of writer Ron Marz and artist Stjepan Sejic together to begin the six-part story arc \u201cWar of the Witchblades\u201d which the publishers note is the biggest and most ambitious plot they\u2019ve attempted with their flagship character.\u00a0 Following the events of 2007\u2019s First Born, the Witchblade was split into two halves and the responsibilities split between long time bearer Sara Pezzini and newcomer Danielle Baptiste. Up to this point, Sara and Dani have worked together and developed a sisterly relationship, but that will all change beginning in issue #125.<\/p>\n

\"Witchblade<\/p>\n

Witchblade #125, which will wrap up long standing plot conflicts Ron Marz has been adding to Witchblade since he first took over writing duties for the series in 2004 with issue #80, will begin a new era for the comic that the publisher aims to refresh the series for long-standing readers as well as make an attractive jump-on point for new readers unfamiliar with Witchblade.\u00a0 Sejic and Marz have committed themselves to working on Witchblade as the core creative team through issue #150.\u00a0 Sejic has been the regular artist for Witchblade since issue #116.<\/p>\n

\"WitchbladeArtist Chris Bachalo (Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man) joins Marz and Sejic for Witchblade #125 to contribute a two-part cover variant featuring protagonists Pezzini and Baptiste.\u00a0 A third cover by Sejic will also be offered. Witchblade, which has been translated to TV as TNT\u2019s #1 original film of 2000 and its subsequently successful TV series, has been Top Cow\u2019s longest-running series.\u00a0 \u201cWriter Ron Marz continues to plow up so much new ground on Witchblade that I\u2019m beginning to suspect that rather than using a keyboard to pound out his scripts, he might actually be utilizing a 40-ton earthmover instead,\u201d attests comic book talent Terry Austin (Uncanny X-Men).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jim Cheung, artist of Young Avengers and New Avengers comments, \u201cWith compelling stories by one of my favorite writers, and astonishing artwork that makes me want to tuck myself into a corner and cry, I can\u2019t think why Witchblade shouldn\u2019t be on everyone\u2019s reading list.\u201d
\nWitchblade #125 will also feature a bonus story written by Rob Levin (Darkness: Butcher) and Marco Castiello (Secret Invasion: Frontline).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
