Lord Sonatine

Lord Sonatine is a enigmatic and dangerous antagonist in the Top Cow supernatural universe, operating in the shadows around Sara Pezzini and other wielders of powerful mystical artifacts like the Witchblade and the Darkness.

Lord Sonatine stepped out of the shadows of the late 1990s Top Cow universe when Christina Z., David Wohl, and Michael Turner introduced him in Witchblade #18 in 1997 — a debut that planted him squarely in one of Image Comics' most ambitious supernatural corners. Over a publishing span stretching nearly three decades, he's kept genuinely dangerous company, sharing pages with Sara Pezzini, Jackie Estacado, and the wielder of the Darkness itself. His appearances across The Complete Witchblade and the Top Cow Book of Revelations mark him as a figure woven into the larger mythological tapestry that made Top Cow's interconnected world so compelling to collectors. Rare in the catalog but rich in atmosphere, Lord Sonatine is exactly the kind of brooding, intriguing presence that rewards fans who dig deeper into the era's darkly stylish storytelling.
