Reviews:

"Loud and brash and high-energy, the kind of thing that makes readers yearn to see what will come next...[packed with] gripping, stylish thrills." ― Women Write About Comics

"A mixtape in comic form, that blends familiar lore, with the roughness of the Wild West...the creative team has successfully given us a character who although vulnerable, packs some serious attitude, you can’t help but root for her, and with the dangers she has stumbled upon and the revelation of her WITCHBLOOD, we are on our way to be treated to some action-packed, magic in the making." ― Geek Network

"Witchblood #1 is a fun, splashy start to a stylish series." ― AV Club

"Want a chaotic, fun time? Witchblood is just the levels of chaos you need in your life." ― Wandering Nerd Girl

"Witchblood is the most beautiful form of a passion project...This comic really is something special, not just for fans of witchcraft and vampires, but for anyone who loves colour, representation, and the craft done right." ― The Valkyries

Named one of "the comics and graphic novels worth mentioning from 2021" ― THRILLIST

 

What are some of your favorite video games?

Matthew: Now this is a question I can get behind! I am a firm believer that game design and game narrative are such a unique and special way of telling a story. I’ve always loved the 2nd-person storytelling and videogames exist almost exclusively in that space along with ttrpgs.

Here are some of my favorites:

Grim Fandango — Really beautiful game. So unique. One of the most interesting, captivating worlds imagined and the writing is topnotch. Love the character of Manny Calavera, he is so cool. I remember playing that game as a kid and being so influenced by the idea you can write stories like that. They don’t have to be anything except what you want them to be, and the freedom to write something that’s funny and dark and weird and noir and beautiful was really enlightening.

Disco Elysium — Maybe the best written game of all time? It felt like reading an excellent novel. Seeing a film that sticks with you for weeks. I haven’t stopped thinking about Disco Elysium since I beat it and I can’t wait to go back to it in a couple of years to relive the story.

Elden Ring — Literally can’t stop playing this masterpiece.

Final Fantasy 9 — The best one!

I’m also a big fan of roguelikes, so things like Hades and Binding of Isaac are great. Since the pandemic I also really got into Magic: The Gathering and while that isn’t a video game I really do love playing.

Lisa: Ok right now it’s Elden Ring which was a shock even to me as Matthew is a diehard FromSoftware fanboy and has been trying to get me to stick to one of these games for years. But I’ve been sucked in, I can’t help it, it's great even though I never want to ever fight any big bosses ever haha. Fallout 3 is probably my favorite of all-time, I love the aesthetic and world-building and quirky stories of that game, and it was my first foray back into videogames in college. Some others are Final Fantasy 6, Hades, Horizon Zero Dawn, Silent Hill 2, Psychonauts, Bayonetta. I’m kind of all over the place!
