WITCHBLADE Celebrates Issue #150; The End of Marz And Sejic's Run

This week WITCHBLADE #150 comes out as an oversized issue to celebrate the mark. The book also marks the end of writer Ron Marz and artist Stjepan Sejic. Marz has been on the book for 70 consecutive issues. The issue will also have a sneak peek at issue #151 with the new creative team of Tim Seeley (HACK/SLASH) and Diego Bernard (The Man With No Name).

"It's bittersweet, definitely," Marz reflected. "Sara has been an almost daily presence in my life for more than seven years, so it feels a little weird to be going our separate ways, at least in terms of the WITCHBLADE monthly. But even if this seems like Stjepan and I are breaking up with Sara, I know we'll see her again in ARTIFACTS. Sara will definitely be a presence in that book going forward. So we'll be reunited. And, uh, it feels so good."

New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini is the bearer of the Witchblade, a mysterious Artifact that takes the form of a deadly and powerful gauntlet. Sara must try to control the Witchblade and learn its secrets, even as she investigates the city’s strangest, most supernatural crimes. Pezzini has carefully balanced her responsibilities as a police officer with her duties as bearer of the Witchblade for years, but now Lieutenant Phipps, from the Internal Affairs department, threatens to take one of these away from her. In this emotionally charged issue, Sara will be forced to make a decision that will impact the direction of WITCHBLADE for a long time to come.

WITCHBLADE #150 is in stores this Wednesday, December 14.
