About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Yaaaaaas!!! Loved this story!!
Badass women facing enemies and figthing for what they believe. Real heroines! Honorable and loyal. These women were awesome! Such a great comic.

To me all that japan-is-so-mystical and full of discipline is just annoying and boring. But beside that this is nice action packed story with women showing who has pants.

This is among the best of the Top Cow universe featuring Witchblade! Loved this!

Great comic novella. With some truly beautiful artwork. If the story had been written as an entire book, perhaps the balance of the story would have been broken, but I'm still getting used to how short comics are :d.
