Comics like this one are extremely tough to review. It’s well written, visually impressive, and does a lot to give Dany and Sara (the Witchblade bearers) some more depth. On the other hand, the issue is pretty damn boring and, outside of a brief set-up for next month, quite easy to skip. See the predicament that leaves me with?
Titled “Girls Night Out,” Witchblade #120 is really a story about just that. Dany decides to take out her angst on some creep in a club, her Witchblade lashes out, Sara interferes, and then the two ladies leave the club to sit on some rooftop and talk about life, love, sex, and the responsibility that comes with wearing the Witchblade. That’s pretty much it. Everything is extremely sound from a technical standpoint so it is impossible to come down too hard on it. Ron Marz’s dialogue is casual and realistic, Stjepan Sejic’s work is a treat to look at, and there is some merit in the fact that such care was taken on what is, essentially, a “day in the life of” type of story.
I am definitely going to leave the purchasing decision up to you, the readers, on this one. The comic is solid all around, but with the price of comics today, this one can definitely be skipped without fear of missing much. (Grade: C)
