Fans of the Witchblade comic book by legendary creator Marc Silvestri can find a new design for the armor when they back the Kickstarter dedicated to the character. Witchblade launched in 1995 after Silvestri and his fellow creators walked away from Marvel Comics to create Image Comics. It ran for over 200 issues and even spawned a live-action series on TNT starring Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini/Witchblade, along with an anime. As Top Cow Productions celebrates its 30th anniversary and Witchblade celebrates 25 years, a new Kickstarter was created to give fans a chance to read new stories and revisit the classics.
