Witchblade, worth starting from the beginning?
I am thinking about starting Witchblade from the beginning, any thoughts on this? Is it worth the time and money to start this series? I think it sounds very interesting and have read other Top Cow comics but I never did start this one. What do you guys and gals think?

Re: Witchblade, worth starting from the beginning?
If you can, get one of those Omnibus-types collections from Top Cow. I got the first printing which was $50 for 50 issues worth (over 1000 pages). IIRC, it quickly sold out then they planned to release a hardcover one. Then they planned to release a second printing of the Witchblade/Darkness/Tomb Raider omnibus book (note that Top Cow does not actually call them Omnibus). Not sure if they did ever release them though.

Re: Witchblade, worth starting from the beginning?
The first storyline was good (the first 12 or so issues with Michael Turner on art) and worth reading/buying, but IMO, it sorta fell apart after that.

Re: Witchblade, worth starting from the beginning?
Yeah the first issues are good, but if you could also start with the Ron Marz run instead.

Re: Witchblade, worth starting from the beginning?
Is Witchblade the series that created First Magdalena? I have read several of those trades and enjoyed that storyline. I wasn't sure if it was worth digging into the series where FM was originally created. I also wasn't sure if she spun off of Witchblade or Darkness.
