Even better than Volume 1 because you get to learn more about the witchblade! Sarah is awesome.

The best art of all has to be the one on the cover. The artist fully did all the drawings in some of the future volumes and it is simply beautiful, frame it up art.

I’m really enjoying these comics, both the art and the story itself. It’s been a little while since I’ve read the first volume, but once I started reading AWAKENINGS I was able to fall right back into the story. I love the idea that this BAMF woman has control of this . . . THING that allows her to fight the bad guys and put them all in their place.
Plus all of the history that comes with the Witchblade itself. I loved how they stepped back through history and showed the diversity of women throughout time taking control of this tool and using it to its greatest potential.I think the story still leaves a lot of questions in regard to the origins of the Witchblade but it gives you something, and it’s more than enough to take you through the rest of the books.
And I love the art. I truly do. I love how Sara isn’t hyper-sexualized, she wears normal clothes, titties aren’t always half falling out of her shirt or anything. The alternate covers of the book do fall the way of your more typical comic book heroine but within the panels she looks more like Detective Benson from Law & Order: SVU than Barb Wire. That made me very happy.
I can’t wait to pick up the next book. I know my local used book store, Bookman’s, has a bunch of copies I plan on snagging. I’m eating this right up.

I enjoyed this even more than the first. I liked the stories and the artwork even more. I'm super curious about what happens next.
