In 2007, Top Cow unleashed First Born, hailed by critics as -a quality mini-series, - -required reading, - and -an epic adventure.- That storyline changed the Top Cow Universe forever. But that was just the beginning... Broken Trinity brings together the Witchblade, The Darkness, and The Angelus once more, but this time the stakes are even higher as a new artifact is discovered, forever upsetting the balance of power. By the conclusion of this story, two major new players will be introduced into the Top Cow Universe, while at least one established character will be gone forever!

Decent story, but I was expecting a bit more pizzaz, a bit more sparkle. Good artwork, as per usual, but it felt somewhat lacking in the plot/story department.

Enjoyed that it was one story by different writers and it dove ended very well> Kept my attention so I read it in one go! Very good

I'm returning to the Top Cow universe with this (having already read the First Born arc). Witchblade was one of the first comic book series I read, being a step closer to Big Two's superheroes, but without such daunting histories and alternates. I took a break because the expanding universe made it confusing to figure out what to read next, but it's nice to be back. It's comfortable.

The story and characters keep me interested, however it's not outstanding compared to First Born. There's something missing, maybe because it spends a good chunk of time introducing new characters for Artifacts.

The artists vary but overall it looks good.

If you're just getting into the world though, don't start here. Try starting from Witchblade Vol.1: Witch Hunt or Witchblade: Redemption, Volume 1. Preferably Witch Hunt.
