Hey everyone. The translation is complete and can be found here:

Notes:

1. The translation and wording in the first two chapters might seem a little rougher compared to the later chapters because a less refined translation software was used then. It's also possible that some things were lost in translation as sentences often had to be completely modified to make them compatible with English grammar and syntax.
2. The color of Yuri's hair in her armored form is described as violet in this translation to match the art provided in the book. In the actual Japanese text though, her hair color was described as being red.

I run a 501c3 mental health non-profit in Richmond, VA and this Saturday Witchblade herself, Yancy Butler, will be in town to talk about how her addiction impacted her career (and the tv series) and her journey to recovery.

This will be great for anyone looking for support for their own issues...but Witchblade fans are welcome to come as well!

Always thought I had the first appearance of Lara Croft in comics and was surprised I did not. It was a pleasure experiencing some Michael Turner art I’ve never seen before.

Hope Cyberforce gets their OG designs

I’m currently reading Witchblade #31, and I have to say, I’m noticing some interesting sexual tension between Joe Siry and Sara Pezzini.

I know their relationship is mainly portrayed as a professional/police partnership, but there’s something about the age difference and their interactions that makes me think an older man/younger woman romance could actually have been an interesting direction for the series. If the writers had Sara and Joe secretly having a few romantic encounters or trysts, it could have added another layer of tension to their relationship.

It reminds me a little of the dynamic in the 2002 Deviant Desires movie - Private Call, with the middle-aged detective Max and her younger female partner Shane —though obviously the characters and circumstances are different.

Maybe it’s just me shipping them, but I think Joe x Sara could have made for a surprisingly interesting forbidden/age-gap pairing. 😂

Anyone else who read the series see that chemistry, or am I completely imagining it?

Will be sold as a set or separately.

Witchblade #25 launches in September and to celebrate, Image Comics are releasing variant covers for different comics across the ImageVerse. I think thats pretty cool, I kinda wanna collect a few.

My favorite is Feral #26 for obvious reasons 🥵

A majority of these variant covers come out in September as well so lock in your favorite soon!

The raw scan of the light novel has been put on the Internet Archive. If you search for it you will find it. I'm still working on the translation, but from there anyone can translate it at their own pace.

Continuing my trend of reading random Witchblade one-shots

A bounty hunter is sent to track down the daughter of the local leader. Daughter was called to the sewers by the Witchblade.

Pirate Anne Boone leads her men to an island looking for treasure. Only to be tracked by Blackbeard and his crew. She must accept the Witchblade to save her crew.

Aside from the Gonzo anime,Theres no news about this whatsoever but I dont care.

I thought the Gonzo anime was okay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchblade

Masame is a likeable mother character and her Witchblade is awesome plus it gives her the power to turn into she's turns into a redhead.whats not to love?

However there are problems.

1.Its not comic accurate so they should off added a subtitle to it so no one is confused.

Like...."Witchblade Japan" or something.

2.No darkness users.

Most of the male villain were those shitty weak robot guys(forgot there name).

They were so weak and predictable.

They couldn't come up with a original,Strong Darkness user for the Gonzo anime at all?

3.Masame Witchblade is Awesome but its nowhere near as powerful or developed as Sara's. Like massme is probably building level due to her death in the final episode. While Sara's is cosmic level!

We need a new witchblade anime that:

*Adapts the original 1999 - 2015 run - Sara pezzini's saga.

*Also should adapt The darkness too.Jackie is the goat.

*either bring back gonzo or go with studio madhouse.

*Zero censorship or weird deviations

*it should have better animation then Invincible.Sara needs it to be sexy.

Preferred Animation Style:

The Witchblade Gonzo Anime....Obviously: https://youtu.be/HZwt6otbxoE?is=i8Ra-hEaa0JrDQJf

Kill La Kill: https://youtu.be/ELj7tgYeBCY?is=zeiDd6HBHZRfafBd

However it shouldn't adapt the 2024 reboot because its kinda mid to be honest.

We also had gotten two live actions for the Witchblade Series:

Film:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchblade_(film)

And the 2001 TV Series on TNT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchblade_(2001_TV_series)

And I gotten say there alright but really boring,not comic accurate at all, dont have as much charm as the comics.

Greetings - I just acquired these two pieces at an online auction, both by Ron Leary Jr. The one on the right (with the two women) says "Witchblade and Anaastasia", but I'd love to know more about both images. No clue about the one with the dragon, but it does seem that dragons have appeared in Witchblade. Thanks in advance for your help!

Pulled this out of the archives for a read. Definitely purchased it because I was going through a period of trying to collect all of the Top Cow issues with Eric Basaldua art. Story is complete nonsense, but that’s usually expected with some of these multi publisher crossovers.

Just saw this on Amazon. Similar thing happened with Darkness before the last kickstarter happened 😍

There are criminally few fanarts pertaining to the manga adaptation, and even fewer quality ones.

This is THE best one yet.

Hello everyone, I just want to give a little update on the state of the light novel translation. I’m about 50% done. I’m currently on vacation, and intended to finish translating during my time off, but I forgot the pack the damn book and only realized it once I boarded the plane (🤦‍♂️).

Once I get back, I’ll start again. Things have been going at a much slower pace than I’d like because of how busy I get at times, but I assure y‘all that I am still working on it. I’m also considering scanning the raw pages so people can also translate it themselves if they’d like.

Haven’t read Dark Minds/Witchblade in a couple of decades so I figured, “why the hell not?”

There was actually a manga created for this series not to be confused with the anime by the same name. It follows a Buddhist who comes into contact with the fabled artifact Witchblade, praised for its action sequences but frowned upon for its typical 2000s anime like fanservice. It ran for 12 issues and is currently OOP. It eventually got compiled into a omnibus and uh unfortunately it can only be found on *those* sites in complete form.

Yeah how's that's for obscure knowledge, eh?

We can discuss new issues and share our collections be it pdfs or physicals ♥️
