Witchblade: Obakemono

    (Image, 2002)
™ and ©2002 Fiona Kai Avery and Billy Tan

After a woman, Shiori, becomes a widow when a warlord kills her husband, she dreams about seeking revenge with a powerful dragon sword. She decides to search for the blade, and women who have been dealt an unkind hand by fate join her in that quest. However, not all of them are loyal. This one-shot graphic novel is faithful to the Witchblade formula. Although intended as a feminist statement, some critics questioned the idea of the Witchblade wielder having to become nearly naked once the sword’s power kicks in.
