Kill, Bang, Marry. A timeless game for classy folk around the globe. Like Hungry Hungry Hippos or Candy Land…it’s a game our children will remember fondly. And today, it’s a game you’ll remember fondly as we play our first ever game of Kill, Bang, Marry with writer Joshua Williamson of Image Shadowline’s “Ghosted” & the upcoming Image Comics’ “Nailbiter”. Every time I say *DING DING* I want you to imagine a scantily clad Harley Quinn walking around a boxing ring with a “new round” sign. 2805445-nimble_jack *DING DING* Round One: Kill, Bang, Marry

1. Nimble Jack from Colder

2. DC’s Bloody Mary

3. Cal McDonald from Criminal Macabre

Joshua Williamson:

1. Marry Nimble Jack. At least things would be interesting. We’d travel the world weirding people out. And he is nimble, right?

2. Bang Bloody Mary. Damn red heads. And I don’t think she’d get as attached as the other two.

3. Kill Cal. Sorry, Steve! They made me choose! He’d probably be brought back from the dead somehow anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

*DING DING* Round Two: Kill, Bang, Marry

1. DC’s Matter Eater Lad2327156-mattereaterlad

2. Suzie from Sex Criminals

3. Old Hob (TMNT)

Joshua Williamson:

1. Bang Matter Eater. I’m not going to explain why, but yeah. But… Go Legion!

2. Marry Suzie! Oh Suzie. You gotta get away from that Jon. He’s no good. I knew it from the moment I met him. You deserve so much better.

3. Kill Old Hob. He keeps fucking with my boys the Ninja Turtles. And he always seems pretty miserable.

1. DC’s Vibe (from the 80s, not the reboot)

2. Evil Mel from Coffin Hill

3. Floronic Man

Joshua Williamson:

1. Marry Vibe. Any guy who would wear that outfit would have some interesting stories for when the marriage got stale and we’d be stuck at a table having dinner with nothing to say. I’d start by asking him if he shaved his whole chest or just the exposed areas from that crazy costume. [Ed. Note: We’re hoping he only shaves that deep, deep V… *wink*]

2. Bang Evil Mel. Something about those eyes.

3. Kill Floronic Man. Plant people freak me out. He’d have to go bye-bye.

*DING DING* Bonus Round! Rat Queens: Kill, Bang, Marry

1. Dee

2. Violet

3. Hannah

Joshua Williamson:

This was the hardest of all of these…

1. Marry Dee. I dig her style. She’s got the whole skull motif thing going on.

2. Kill Violet. Poor Violet. You seem nice. It’s not that you’re not my type… It’s just the other two…. Listen… it’s not you it’s me. [Ed. Note: You’ll have to go through me first!]

3. Bang Hannah. The tattoos, the attitude, that hair… She’d probably eat me alive but it would be worth it.

 

Thanks, Joshua, for playing our game and sufficiently creeping us out! Everyone, if you want Josh to creep you out some more, make sure to pick up his new serial killer comic book Nailbiter out through Image in early May.

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics

Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.

Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”

The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”

Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”

“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.

Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”

Witchblade#1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 17th, for $4.99 for 48 pages. And it’ll come with multiple cover variants.
