After twenty issues away, longtime Witchblade writer Ron Marz returned to the title this week, with a critically-acclaimed first step in a new direction for lead character Sara Pezzini, in a new setting with a new supporting cast.It’s the second time in less than two years that Pezzini’s locale has changed, each time precipitated at least in part by a conflict with her ex-lover Jackie Estacado (better known as The Darkness). This time, though, it’s a potentially major tonal shift in the book. Last time around, she left New York for Chicago, but she was still a big-city superhero in a place with a seedy underbelly of organized crime.Now, she’s without The Witchblade (at least for now) and living in Saratoga County in Upstate New York, where there are more cows than gangsters and fewer people living there, according to the most recent U.S. census, than in any single Borough of New York City.
