This is fun Dynamite/Top Cow cross-over from a decade back. The story is interesting, teaming Sara with a new temporary partner and introducing her to a famous figure (a real Wilde guy, you might say) from literary history. There were some enjoyable twists in the script. The art is typical for the title, with unusually dressed and proportioned people looking better than anyone you're likely to meet on the street. It's a fun, light read.

This one had potential but fell short. The art is great, and Sara Pezzini is always a great character. But it felt like the Dorian Gray aspect could've been explored more, and I was really hoping it was better. If they would have gone more with Issue 2 of this storyline, I think it would've been a richer plot, but that's just me. The cover gallery in the back of the book is exceptional. EBAS \m/

Eh. Dorian Gray shows up and all the female characters wear improbably tight clothes which keep getting strategically ripped.

I have always been intrigued by Witchblade. I didn't like this book though. The story jumped around. The main characters were flat with no depth. The dialogue was juvenile at best. And aspects of the artwork were clumsy and biologically false. Fingers bent the wrong way. Legs were drawn in impossible angles. It all seemed very clumsy and poorly planned.
