Witchblade #117

In "Advent Part 2," Sara and Patrick follow a disturbing trail of ritualistic violence that leads to a corpse displayed like a saint, its wounds echoing a grim religious iconography. Back at her apartment, Sara returns to find her babysitter Dani unconscious and her new boyfriend David holding her half of the Witchblade, the weapon’s presence now a chilling mystery. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated with intense precision by Stjepan Šejić—pencils, inks, and colors all by the same hand—this issue deepens the tension with a cover by Šejić that captures the story’s escalating dread.
