Marguerite Bennett, Giuseppe Cafaro, and Arif Prianto's new relaunch of Witchblade from Top Cow – as well as a bunch of retailer exclusive covers – helped Witchblade #1 be Image Comics' most ordered comic of July – even if it wasn't its bestselling one. Witchblade #1 got over 80,000 orders the highest Top Cow launch in over a decade. Since then, with reorders piling in, that rose to around 100,000 copies all things said and done.

Then, speculators went nuts when Witchblade co-creator and Top Cow boss Marc Silvestri cheekily dropped that Uncanny X-Men #251 homage variant cover for Witchblade #3 as a 1:25 tiered variant. And that kicked up ever more buzz.

And now Witchblade #3 FOC orders are up 10% over issue #2. You almost never see any series buck standard rate of attrition… but with retailers having to order 25 copies to get one of the X-Men variant covers, you can see how that might happen.

Don't sleep on Witchblade. For a start you'll never get a 9.8 CGC slab if you do… and what happened to Francesca Ciregia, and Bryan Valenza's work, who were meant to be the art team on the comic book originally?
