Back when I spoke to Matt Hawkins in March , we spent a little time talking about the sexual legacy of the first ten years or so of Top Cow. We also spoke a little about Witchblade —a title about a woman who carries a living weapon disguised as a bracelet—which is being resurrected in December, with a new main character, under the pens of Caitlin Kittredge Coffin Hill and Roberta Ingranata with Bryan Valenza colouring. She has worked on Zenescope comics as well as one Magdalena cover at Top Cow the Planned Parenthood benefit—yes, a Planned Parenthood benefit cover, for a comic about a Catholic Nun in leather who kills for the glory of God, bless us every one. Her draughting is strong and reliable; she seems very much at home drawing thin, highly toned, long-haired white women in fetish costumes.

When Sara Pezzini became the most recent bearer of the Witchblade in the late 20 th century, it was established there had been a lineage, and she was far from the first to merge with the weapon. Distinctions takes a look at some of the earlier incarnations. Originally published not very long after the first Witchblade appearances, it takes the same approach, presenting relatively simple stories with one-dimensional characters acting as vessels for the Witchblade, which empowers them in moments of desperate need.
