Patience

Stepping into the shadows of Image Comics' early 2000s supernatural universe, Patience made her debut in Witchblade #63 in 2003, brought to life by David Wohl, Francis Manapul, and Joel Gomez. She emerged in a Modern Age corner of comics dense with dark mythology, sharing pages with heavyweights like Sara Pezzini, Jackie Estacado, The Darkness, and The Magdalena — as compelling a roster of supernatural company as you'll find anywhere in Image's catalog. Her appearances across Witchblade, First Born, and The Astounding Wolf-Man speak to a character woven into the connective tissue of that interconnected universe, even if her footprint remains intriguingly rare. For collectors who love the moody, mythology-rich Image books of that era, Patience is one of those hidden threads worth pulling.
