This weeks’ pick of the week wasn’t easy seeing as there are so many promising issues for some of your favorite titles coming out tomorrow (‘HAUNT’, ‘DEAD AHEAD’, ‘CHEW’, ‘DINGO’) but when it came down to it a title such as ‘FORGETLESS’ needs to be talked about. Read on for the 5 page preview and, of course, why you should care. “The Forgetless nightclub is the biggest party in New York, and now it’s ending. But Sonia and Sara, struggling models turned professional killers, want to make sure it goes out with a bang. Derrick, a failed artist and hypnotist’s assistant happens to be the unlucky guy caught in their crosshairs!”

WRITTEN BY: Nick Spencer
ILLUSTRATIONS BY: W. Scott Forbes, Marley Zarcone

So, how exactly does a struggling model become a professional killer? And what happens when said model-turned-killer ends up getting trashed and shooting the wrong guy – the really wrong guy? The party’s just getting started at FORGETLESS club night, but for our girl Sara, it might already be over.



CONTINUING THE HIT SERIES CRAVE ONLINE CALLS “ONE HELL OF A RIDE!”

Why You Should Care

For those who haven’t gotten themselves acquainted with Nick Spencer’s (‘EXISTENCE 2.0’) MTV Generation fueled work in the darker veins of comedy and sci-fi then you are horribly missing out. ‘FORGETLESS’ offers readers equal amounts comedy, action, violence, and sex appeal in a neat little package that should appeal to even the most timid of readers. In fact this is one of the few titles that i would venture to say you could show your girlfriend and she would actually show interest. (Disclaimer: I offer no guarantees) The story of Sonia and Sara is not only a journey that has thus far been highly entertaining, but also one that is very unique and often times downright unforgettable. (I couldn’t help it, give me a break)

If you are looking to get into the series this month’s issue would be a good time to start. The third installment of the series promises to give readers new insight into the pasts of the female leads who are responsible for the bloodshed in club ‘Forgetless’, and to explain some key plot-points.

So for those who are looking for something new and something very unique that will offer not only some thrills but laughs as well then Nick Spencer’s “FORGETLESS” is a title that is more than worth your $3.50.

‘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.”
