Witchblade #140 has a few surprises up its sleeve. First, we have a contributing writer in Saurav Mohapatra from Virgin Comics’ Devi. Secondly, we have two artist contributions from the Marz family among others. These contributions have not diminished nor taken anything away from Stjepan’s art so must be seen as positive contributions to this issue. Finally, we have the beginnings of a new story arc that have placed Sara and Patrick in their investigative environment as NYPD officers, actually doing some investigation, interviewing people and behaving as normal as you can in comics. This down to earth treatment is enjoyable and I’m sure will contrast with the upcoming issues where we will see the Witchblade do its thing. I’m reserving judgment on the story arc that has began with this issue, but Ron Marz has yet to disappoint me in this title.
