Witchblade

Over three issues in 1998, Witchblade launched as a gritty supernatural crime series from Splitter, anchored by the distinctive artwork of Michael Turner and the writing trio of David Wohl, Turner, and Brian Haberlin. The story follows a New York police detective who becomes the bearer of a mystical, sentient gauntlet—the Witchblade—that grants her incredible power while tying her to an ancient battle between light and darkness. This debut run established the core tone and visual identity of the franchise, blending urban noir with fantasy elements that would define the series for years to come.
