Witchblade Animated So far this venture is just a one shot, done in an animated style with artwork by Darywn Cooke and story by Paul Dini, hopefully we'll see more of this. Preview #1 - August 2003 In this issue Sara Pezzini and Patience, the Magdalena, meet up to investigate the murder of a Catholic priest who Patience reveals was guarding an artefact which gives the holder the ability to control the Darkness, aka Jackie Estacado. The two track down the thief/murderer and prepare for a showdown.
