Witchblade

Launched by Top Cow in 1998, Witchblade introduced readers to a mysterious, sentient artifact that bonds with a chosen host, granting immense power at a cost. The series quickly became a flagship for the publisher, with writers Christina Z and David Wohl and artists Cedric Nocon, Dan Fraga, and Randy Green defining its gritty, supernatural tone. This debut issue set the stage for a long-running saga that would anchor the Top Cow universe, blending urban fantasy with dark, character-driven storytelling.
