Top Cow Universe #1
"Cauchemar" in Top Cow Universe #1 (2002) kicks off with a haunting twist: ex-priest Tom Judge, after a wild night, stumbles upon a mysterious necklace in his apartment. When one of his companions transforms into a demon, Tom unleashes a terrifying metamorphosis into the Rapture—only to be confronted by Tilly Grimes, who reveals his life is now irrevocably altered. Written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Clayton Crain, with inks by Jonathan Glapion and vibrant colors by Steve Firchow and Jonathan D. Smith, the issue’s stark, visceral art—enhanced by Marc Silvestri and Billy Tan on the cover—sets a chilling tone from the first page.
When ex-priest Tom Judge stumbles upon an old necklace after a night of revelry, his life takes a terrifying turn—his body twists into the monstrous Rapture, and a demon emerges from one of the women he’d been with. As the truth begins to unravel, Tilly Grimes appears, revealing that Tom’s fate has been rewritten, and nothing will ever be the same.
In a haunting twist of fate, Sara Pezzini faces a demon who offers her a life where her father never died and she’s a schoolteacher—on the condition she gives up the Witchblade. Ian Nottingham, too, is tempted with a bargain, but when the demon’s true nature is revealed, he must make a devastating choice: expose the truth about her father’s death to save her, or let the lie consume them both.
