Witchblade #16

In "1," Sara Pezzini and Eric Sketh follow a lead that takes them to an informant with ties to a string of murders tied to a traumatic past. As the investigation deepens, Sara confronts Jeanrene Pironi’s father, mob boss Sal Pirone, drawing deadly retaliation. Meanwhile, Jake McCarthy digs into the mysterious D. Gavin Taylor, while Jeanrene claims another victim—each death a reckoning from a past too long buried.

In a tense twist of fate, Ian Nottingham delivers Joe Siry to Kenneth Irons after the police chief refuses to comply with the villain’s demands to hand over the missing Witchblade jewel. Sara Pezzini shares a quiet moment with Jake McCarthy, revealing a fragment of her past, only for her new partner Eric Sketh to overhear. Just as she tracks down the revenge-driven Jeanrene Pironi, the situation spirals—too late to stop the mob boss’s daughter from being killed by Jackie Estacado, acting on orders from her father. The Witchblade reacts violently, freezing Sara in place. With Setsuke now marked for elimination, Irons’ plan begins to unfold.
