 I enjoyed this book July 6, 2006
While this book is a short (152 pgs) one-shot, it was easy to quickly get into the characters. They are essentially arch-types (at first) of characters many readers have seen before.
The art is very good, and fits well with the tone of the book. While this isn't the first book to take on a more realistic take of the golden age comics/characters we're familiar with, B. Clay Moore does a particularly good job here. My only gripe is that I think the plot warrants a somewhat longer book, although you do get your money's worth with this one.
 Almost the same as it ever was... May 23, 2006

Here is a compact, stand-alone tale of Sara Pezzini--wielder of the Witchblade and a pair of enormous, gravity defying breasts. We join the story while our hero lies comatose in a hospital bed. We learn over time she was injured by some kind of nasty monsters and eventually we learn why.
Her old partner Jake is a constant presence in the book as is a new male lead--Detective Patrick Gleason. Gleason is sent to investigate why Sara is in the hospital. A mild love triangle ensues. It is a love of Brady Bunch ferocity. In other words, the boys get cranky and mope around but no one gets any. Meanwhile, Sara is fighting, fighting, fighting for her life and, naturally, has to save her hapless partners and the rest of the free world.
Ron Marz said he wanted to move away from the T&A and instead focus on the story. That seems fine but he seems to have missed the fact that it was ironic T&A. That makes it okay, right? His pronouncement seemed more like misplaced piety or perhaps some lingering embarrassment over his association with the series. Whatever his motivation, I couldn't really see too much difference, in that regard, between this one and any others in the series.
The art of Mike Choi is serviceable but very different in tone from Michael Turner's amazing work in the series. To give Choi credit, if I'd started with his, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. I think the difference is style more than quality.
The story definitely had a beginning and an end, and a reader unfamiliar with the series could easily step in and enjoy it. I'm trying not to give away the plot, but it includes shop-worn elements such as secret societies of priests, other dimensions, elderly, mystical Asians and a betrayal by an old friend. I am always hesitant to write reviews of comics out of fear of people knowing what a true dork I am. This book won't do anything to help me appear more enlightened, but it was a pretty fun read.
 A MUST BUY! April 24, 2006

The above reviewer obviously is talking about a completely different book or series. There is NOTHING about WWII in this book at all!
What we DO have is the best damn writing Witchblade has ever seen! The characters are written so realistically and with such a breath of fresh air it's amazing!
The artwork is great, the story is great... buy this now. You won't miss it! Those turned off Witchblade by Paul Jenkin's terrible take should pick the series back up with this!
 Mediocre - Whats the point? April 5, 2006

Super heroes are assembled for a task force to help fight WWII. Some of them get offed. The government does shady things. Things get covered up....Sounds like a bad episode of the X-Files or something....
Its all been done before in all mediums. There was nothing new with this one really. I give it two stars because I think the art was pretty good. I liked the heavy use of darker colours to set the mood, buts all this has going for it.
