Since its inception, Witchblade has had a roller-coaster existence. It has a sound premise. It has a sound lead character. But for some reason, the title has lacked a sound direction.
Some of the title's best storylines were authored by Ron Marz, who seems to understand that this comic can't thrive on action alone or the all-too-frequent shredding of Sara Pezzini's clothing in favor of the very revealing Witchblade "costume." His stories tend to involve more introspection for Sara as she continually strives to manage her enormous responsibility as bearer of the artifact. These moments of genuine character development always lend meaning to whatever action is taking place and make the comic an enjoyable read.
Marz took the helm once again in issue #170 and started the "Born Again" storyline. In issue #171, we begin to see that Marz has big plans in store for this title.
I reviewed issue #171 for the guys at Broken Frontier and you can read it HERE.
