WITCHBLADE ANNUAL (2026) #1 (ONE SHOT)

Ian Nottingham takes center stage in this thrilling Witchblade Annual 2026, an anthology built around three 12-page stories set before, during, and after Ian's time with Sara Pezzini. The issue traces his training and adventures in service to Kenneth Irons, and the tragedy that defined his life, showing how far he's willing to go to reclaim his lost love. Readers learn why Ian betrayed Sara and catch a glimpse of what lies ahead for their future, all while expanding the Witchblade mythos and the secrets of the Sickle Key. The story is guided by a strong creative team—Marguerite Bennett, Marc Silvestri, Ryan Cady, and Matt Hawkins—with bold art from Giuseppe Cafaro, Pat Boutin, Gibran Ferdian, Steve Firchow, and Robert Willis. Covers by Cafaro and Ferdian (plus a Sejic variant) pair sharply with a gothic, cinematic tone, making this one-shot a standout entry in the Witchblade universe.
