WITCHBLADE #106

Raising The Dead Part 1
Writer - Ron Marz
Artist - Stjepan Sejic

Seems there's a new Witchblade in town and her name is Gwen Stacy…erm I mean Danielle Baptiste. Anyway, new girl on the block doesn't do much Witchblading in the preview I was sent. Instead she wanders through something that looks like a set from Silent Hill and runs into some spooky zombie types. I will give the book credit in that the artwork is well done and suitable creepy in atmosphere. For something that is usually considered a T&A superhero book this is a welcome change. Danielle is no where near the bra buster that Sara was, but she still look s good in the Witchblade costume on the cover.
Now, for the covers. I was sent two. One was a standard super hero pose and the other was a pencil of just her face. Both well done, but give you no clue as to what you're about to read. The covers seem rather pin upish and light hearted and the interior story is anything but.
I'm interested in seeing where this one goes from such a weird beginning.
