CCL Messageboard

Any readers of Witchblade? I recently bought the Witchblade: Compendium Volume 1. I'm really enjoying the comic, but I just figured that I don't like reading from a very heavy book. The spine is completely bent.

The compendium ends at issue #50. Rather than buy another cumbersome Compendium Volume 2, does anyone know the trade paperback titles or the story arc that contains issues #51-79? I'm sticking to TPB from now on.

Thanks.

Sorry I can't help you out on this one. Hopefully someone else can. All I know is there are SO many different TPB lines for Witchblade (and Darkness) that they can be extremely confusing to figure out.

Did some research and unfortunately I think you are gonna have to get compendium vol 2. It appears that a trade paperback was never released or is no longer available for issues #40-#79. Individual trades are available starting again with issue #80 when Ron Martz took over as writer for the series.

Not sure how complete it is, and some areas have been crossed out.

Yeah, seems like Compendium is the only way to get #51-53 and #59-79.

Between Vol 3 and Vol 10, there are collections of mini-series making up Volumes 5 & 6. Blood Relations (below) is Vol 7 and there may never have been an actual Vol 8 or 9.


#1-8: Witchblade Origins Vol 1
#9-17: Witchblade Origins Vol 2, Witchblade: Revelations
#18-25: Witchblade Origins Vol 3, Witchblade/Darkness: Family Ties (#18-19), Witchblade: Prevailing (#20-25)

#54-58: Witchblade Blood Relations

#80-85: Witchblade Vol 10: Witch Hunt, Witchblade (2008) Vol 1
#86-92: Witchblade Vol 11: Awakenings, Witchblade (2008) Vol 2
#93-100: Witchblade (2008) Vol 3
#101-109: Witchblade (2008) Vol 4
#110-115 & First Born #1-3: Witchblade (2008) Vol 5
#116-120: Witchblade (2008) Vol 6
#121-124 & Annual #1: Witchblade (2008) Vol 7
#125-130: Witchblade (2008) Vol 8
#131-135: Witchblade: Redemption Vol 1
#136-139: Witchblade: Redemption Vol 2
#140-144: Witchblade: Redemption Vol 3
#145-150: Witchblade: Redemption Vol 4
#151-155: Witchblade: Rebirth Vol 1
#156-160: Witchblade: Rebirth Vol 2

If I skip the Compendium Vol. 2 and just go straight to the Ron Marz stories (starting at #80) I'm not going to be missing any major plot line, will I?

And thanks for all the replies and help.
