SUMMARY:
Published for September 2011 by Top Cow Productions-Image Comics, it’s entitled “Tiamat, Part 3 of 4.” A wounded Det. Sara Pezzini is seemingly safe in an ethereal dimension protected by the spirits of previous Witchblades. As the current Witchblade briefly learns more of Tiamat’s past, Dani Baptiste (Angelus) rushes to rescue Sara from a murderous attack.
Watching them flee, the demonic Tiamat gloats that both of her targets are now conveniently together. In Manhattan, a recuperating Sara strategizes with Dani how to face off vs. Tiamat and minimize civilian collateral damage. Choosing a deserted section of Long Island beach, Sara lovingly sends away her partner/boyfriend, Patrick Gleason. Steeling themselves for a last stand, Witchblade & Angelus await Tiamat’s onslaught.
REVIEW:
Between artist Stjepan Sejic’s glossy and utterly flawless digital paintings and writer Ron Marz’s spot-on scripting, this reliable duo delivers another around of top-caliber Witchblade entertainment. All the necessary creative elements are in place to set up a rousing storyline finale. Definitely recommended!
