Witchblade
"Another ’90s comic book hero is headed to the small screen today as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that NBC has plans for a new Witchblade series. Witchblade, created by Brian Haberlin, Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, and the late Michael Turner, debuted as the star of her own series in 1995, published through the Top Cow imprint of Image Comics. CSI‘s Carol Mendelsohn and The Vampire Diaries‘ Caroline Dries are working together on a script.
Witchblade tells the story of NYPD detective Sarah Pezzini who, while on the hunt for a serial killer, finds herself imbued with superhuman powers via an ancient artifact. The artifact, the sentient Witchblade, has existed for ages and has come into the possession of women throughout history. As such, it remains to be seen whether or not the new series will follow Pezzini or if it might begin with an all new character."
