As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of iconic characters since the 90s, I must say that the new Witchblade #3 variant cover by Marc Silvestri is a delightful throwback to my early days of comic book collecting. The nod to the Uncanny X-Men #251 cover, which was a staple on my wall back then, brings a nostalgic smile to my face.
As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of Witchblade comics, I’m super excited about the latest announcement! Top Cow is releasing a 1:25 variant cover for issue #3, skillfully crafted by Marc Silvestri and drawing inspiration from Deadpool & Wolverine. If you’re wondering how that connection came about, let me break it down for you.
The image seems like it’s based on a re-colored adaptation of Silvestri’s cover for Witchblade #170, originally released in October 2013. Instead of a large ‘X’ like Wolverine, it depicts Sara Pezzini/Witchblade being crucified on a massive “W”.
Top Cow shared on social media, “Hugh Jackman did an excellent job replicating Marc Silvestri’s famous Uncanny X-Men #251 cover in Deadpool & Wolverine. However, Silvestri’s Witchblade may have done it even better.” They followed this up with a playful remark, “Just kidding! We adore you [Hugh] – You truly embody Wolverine.”
In issue #251 of Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine experiences a mental breakdown as he endures torture at the hands of Donald Pierce and his anti-mutant group, The Reavers. Meanwhile, in issue #170 of Witchblade, a grisly murder has occurred – the victim was decapitated and crucified. Investigations are underway to identify the killer, but it’s unclear yet if this crime will have any direct impact on the storyline in the upcoming issue or if it’s simply an intriguing cover art.
In issue #3 of “Witchblade,” set for release on September 18th, Sara Pezzini faces the lethal abilities of the Witchblade as she battles against corrupt police officers, human traffickers, and enigmatic supernatural forces that are closing in on her. A chilling new adversary arises in the character of Ian Nottingham, but it’s unclear whether he intends to aid her, undermine her, or charm her in some way.
The orders to receive this stylish variant need to be submitted by August 26th, so if you want a copy, make sure to take action quickly.
As a long-time comic book enthusiast with years of experience collecting and appreciating the artistry that goes into each issue, I’d like to share some intriguing information about the covers you’ll be ordering from Top Cow. Each cover you receive comes with its own unique history lesson, adding depth and context to the characters and stories within.
