WITCHBLADE/PUNISHER #1
Writer - Ron Marz
Artist - Adriana Melo
Come On! From a crappy, stilted, unimaginative cover to an interior that plays like the stupidest set up ever, this book literally stinks on ice. No, I mean it. I took my preview pages and put them on a chunky block of ice and the stench continued to roll off of them. I thought it might improve, but nooooooooo. We get The Punisher after a guy that Witchblade is guarding and the guys driving the armored car actually fall for the tree across the road bit. Even The Road Runner doesn't fall for that bit anymore. I'd mention more, but Top Cow only gives us the first five pages to play with. In those five pages you see The Punisher's shadow and Sara doesn't transform into Witchblade mode. If Top Cow wants to have better reviews they might want to send more pages along with their stuff. Oh, and if you're going to have a Linsner cover maybe Witchblade shouldn't be wearing any friggin' clothes!!!
