WITCHBLADE #18

Witchblade #18 threads a brutal aftermath into Sara's evolving burden as the Witchblade. In the wake of the Grinteeth killer's revelation and the vigilante's final murder, the city reels as justice collides with consequence. Writer Marguerite Bennett deepens Sara’s struggle to understand the Witchblade’s origin and purpose, challenging her to balance supernatural duty with the cost of balance itself. With art by Giuseppe Cafaro and Arif Prianto, the issue delves into violence as a necessary tool in a world where power is bound to blood and consequence. The confrontation set pieces are kinetic, but the heart of the story lies in Sara’s introspection: what does it mean to wield a force that must redraw the rules when humanity is harmed? A pivotal chapter that pushes Witchblade toward a reckoning with history, identity, and the price of balance.
