Storytiming the final issue of Witchblade. Let's face it, I'm doing this one solely for myself cause no one else reads this book
>>77709879
I will not read your storytime OP, but I support your effort.
Never read about her, except some weird issue where she was married to Wolverine or something.
>>77709879
Titties!
Christ, that's some awful ass writing. The art isn't all that hot either. Should've storyytimed the Empowered special OP...
I mostly liked the Ron Marz run, but I lost interest when she got the kid and quit reading after that whole artifacts mess started.
>>77710115
Yeah it shat the bed when Seeley took over. Didn't get any better when Marz came back. But his first run was pretty good, great worldbuilding
That was fucking pathetic.
>>77710329
Oh hey this is the artist that does all that lesbian bondage porn
>>77709879
>final issue of Witchblade
This is actually ending?
>>77710428
Well, that was like watching a slowly deflating balloon. A dangerous weapon is now missing, but after a whole issue of trying to find a trustworthy bearer, who gives a crap.
>>77710604
It's not like the Witchblade will just let anybody become its host. If it itself has chosen the new bearer it should be okay.
>>77710067
>The darkness
I remember that they were going to release a 4 issue storyline where Jackie ends up dying, we never got it.
A damn shame, almost as big as no the darkess 3 (video game that is)
Did The Darkness end too? Last time I remember reading it Jackie had remade the world so he could have Jenny back.
>>77711052
Two years ago I think
I bet they bring her back. The only thing that makes top cow money is Witchblade and the Darkness and releasing Michael turner art on shit
So this is where that slutty bone armor costume is from
>>77709879
Funny thing: After I played and loved The Darkness video game, I read some of the comic and some of the cross over books but ended up not liking it as much as the video game's story.
>>77711446
Jackie and the Darkness in the comics is pretty shit.
>>77711476
I think Vol. 2 was pretty good.
>>77711052
What happened to the angel bitch? That was the only aspect of the comics that I wished made it to the game.
>>77711105
They already did in the form of Switch, which is like an alternative world reboot type of thing where a teenager gets the Witchblade. Sonatine's alive, as well as Irons, it's been pretty good so far.
>>77711503
Angel bitch is in the second game
>>77710869
It was then resolicited as a one-shot.
It's now a 2-part arc in Witchblade, around 179-180 IIRC. By Hine and everything
>>77711596
So Jackie actually died? Shit, I haven't kept up with The Darkness since like 2012.
>>77710317
How does her daughter die?
>>77710317
Darkness guy is dead?
>>77711596
Issue 180-181
Read it right now, it was shit and Jackie deserved better.
>>77711729
Jackie sacrificed her to reshape reboot reality.
>>77711729
She killed her to bring back the universe
>>77711761
>>77711623
Dead and erased along with the darkness.
>>77711580
>the second game
oh shit what the fuck
>>77711823
>>77711832
Wiki says
>Realizing that Hope has to die for the sake of the world, Sara reluctantly chooses to kill her. When the universe is reset, it is revealed that Hope still lives, apparently the eight-year old daughter of both Jackie and his ex-flame, then-wife, Jenny.
Also, anyone read new Witchblade - Switch?
>>77711105
Witchblade and the Darkness weren't making them money anymore either.
For a long time they've been trying to restructure to be more like mainline Image. Sunstone is making them way more money by itself than any of their universe stuff has since like 2003, Stjepan is their last hope.
>>77711877
I thought Switch was just a fan comicc made by Stjepan Sejic, it's a real thing now?
>>77711920
Isn't Sejic contracted exlusively with Top Cow now?
>>77711844
>>77711580
oh wow and I just read the plot synopsis on wikipedia
>that fucking cliffhanger
>>77711920
Yeah, second issue came out today. If no one's storytimed it yet, I'll do it in a few
>>77711877
Pretty decent so far.
>>77711953
It's even worse in game because there is a very good build up to the whole thing.
>>77711941
By fan comic I meant "I upload this fan work of mine on Deviantart".
What happened with Irons and Notthingham?
>>77711992
>It's even worse in game because there is a very good build up to the whole thing.
Oh, I can tell from the synopsis. Fuck, 2's story sounds better than the comics again. Getting btfo by a video game must hurt.
>>77712071
It helps that the games takes a lot more liberty with the plot and the fact that it's only one game and not a comic you indented to keep running for years.
I kinda lost interest in Witchblade after the reboot.
Gonna try out Twitch, though.
You know what I really liked?
That Magdalena ongoing. Man, Marz seemed almost heartbroken that it didn't last.
>>77709879
I can't believe this hadn't ended years ago, since that was the last time I've heard anything about Witchblade
>>77709879
END OF AN ERA
R
A
>>77711877
I do... I'm really enjoying it
Well... uh... that was... uh...
... Thanks, OP... I guess...
>>77709879
Thanks. I actually have been reading witchblade off and on, mostly on, for a long, long time, since before Jake was in a coma. I am mad at top cow. Artifacts and the reset was a terrible idea and kinda killed the whole topcow universe. Witchblade deserved better.
Wow. That was a terrible issue. And I say that as a longtime fan. What a waste of everything. Thanks so much for scanning OP. So happy I didn't waste any money on that.
>>77713821
seriously
I know a dude who really liked Witchblade and Fathom.
Angelus was the best bearer series. Even better then Darkness. Yes I said it.
>>77711959
Bump for potential storytime
>>77709937
>>77709918
>>77709902
Where's the skin?
No wonder it's getting cancelled.
>>77710118
Russian Witchblade is clearly the best waifu.
>>77711596
I read it an agree with >>77711813, the ending left me really angry. Hine's run was GREAT, it didn't deserve such an ending. I suppose it sold very poorly, though, it was more like an horror story than a traditional Darkness comic...
I love witch blade all the way towhen it split apart and went to different people because lol pregnant
>>77718610
Wasn't even Jackie who did the deal with the ancient ones, it was a doppelgänger. Which just makes the whole thing worse
bumpity
>>77710157
So was the 11 years of this also garbage, or did he just shit the bed at the end? I wouldn't know, this is the first time even hearing about this comic.
>>77722469
It's shat the bed around 2011/2012
>>77717210
That was the one with lesbians?
Didn't they retcon it?
>>77722469
>So was the 11 years of this also garbage, or did he just shit the bed at the end?
It shit the bed around Artifacts when it apparently retconned pretty much everything they had done previously.
>>77711832
Nah Hope is the new bearer of the Darkness, she is the darkness in IXth she was betrayed by Francesca and imprisoned in the near future.
