Setsuke Hirata

Stepping onto the page in 1998's Witchblade #26, Setsuke Hirata is a Modern Age figure born from the creative team of David Wohl, Christina Z., and Randy Green — part of the bold, stylized world Image Comics built around one of its most iconic supernatural series. Over a span stretching all the way to 2020, Setsuke keeps striking company, sharing adventures alongside Sara Pezzini, Ian Nottingham, and the Witchblade itself. A compact but enduring presence in that universe, Setsuke is a rewarding discovery for dedicated fans who love digging into the deeper corners of a long-running series.
