The new spin on Witchblade is set for its first collection in July. Witchblade is from writer Caitlin Kittredge (Throwaways, Coffin Hill) and artist Roberta Ingranata (Robyn Hood). The 152-page trade, which collects the first six issues of the ongoing from Image Comics (see “Witchblade Returns”), will be on sale July 11 for an MSRP of $16.99.

Witchblade restarts the hit franchise with a new lead, Alex Underwood. After being gunned down on a rooftop, she becomes host to the mystical artifact that imbues the women who bear it with immense power. Underwood soon finds herself part of an unseen battle on the streets of New York City.

The original Witchblade series was created by Marc Silvestri with Brian Haberlin, Michael Turner, and David Wohl in 1995. The series ran through late 2015 to the tune of 185 issues, several spinoffs and crossovers, a television series, manga, anime, and more. The property is reportedly in development for a new television series from NBC (see “New 'Witchblade' TV Series”).
