Happy, happy, happy New Year!

May the passing year leave us with memories to cherish, lessons to remember and greater hope for the coming year. Likewise, allow me to extend my warmest, albeit belated, Christmas greetings to each and every one.

To all my beloved friends and visitors, I am wishing that the blessings of the New Year be with you and yours. May these knock early, stay late and leave the gifts of Joy, Hope, Peace and Fortune behind.

During Christmas break, I found a copy of the 2000 Witchblade television series pilot and promptly bought it.

That was actually the first time I came across the television series, although I have been a fan of the comic book since it was first released in the early 1990s.

One of my most prized possessions, comics-wise, is the Witchblade Deluxe Collected Edition (Issues No. 1 to 8), which was a gift from my dearest Owlfriend.

Anyway, I have promptly discovered the magic of Eric Etebari, who gave Ian Nottingham a very seductive and sinister aura.

If only all stalkers would be just like him!

Amazon.com has this studio description of the television series:

In this adaptation of the Top Cow comic book, Witchblade is the story of a New York detective, Sara “Pez” Pezzini, whose search for justice brings her into contact with the Witchblade, an ancient, intelligent, living weapon so powerful it can battle Earth’s darkest evil forces.

Week in and week out, Pez employs her skills as a police detective to fight crime. She finds she must employ the Witchblade to combat a much greater and frighteningly organized conspiracy of evil that threatens the very soul of humanity.

As Sara tries to keep the secret of the Witchblade, do her job and have a personal life, she finds that her most formidable adversary may be the Witchblade itself.
