Top Cow’s Witchblade/The Darkness/Angelus Trinity: Blood on the Sands One Shot arrives in stores this week (June 10), and the company slipped us a sneak peek to share with the Major Spoilers Legion.
Following issue #127, things didn’t look too good for Sara Pezzini, and the variant cover to Witchblade #128 might unsettle long term fans.
In this issue of “War of the Witchblades,” both Sara Pezzini and Dani Baptiste are on the ground and it’s uncertain who will rise to reunite and claim the divided Witchblade for herself. The epic storyline continues to raise the stakes in the battle for the ancient artifact called the Witchblade and promises to dramatically change the landscape of the series by its conclusion.
The regular cover is a take on John Byrne’s Uncanny X-Men #136 by series artist Stjepan Sejic, with the Crisis on Infinite Earths homage cover by Luke Ross.
