NYPD Detective Sara Pezzini wields half of the powerful ancient artifact known as the Witchblade. But now she faces a foe that predates even the mystical gauntlet, confronting a deadly horror that has descended upon Brooklyn’s Ultra Orthodox Jewish community. Could the biblical Angel of Death truly have been unleashed?
Meanwhile, the bearer of the other half of the Witchblade, Dani Baptiste, goes to the aid of one of her dance students, but is she being reckless with her power?

Yay! I was quoted even if no one agrees with me.
I know I’m gonna be linched for this, but Karate Kid sucked and if it hadn’t been shown on TV I’ve never would have payed money to see it (rental or otherwise) or any of the sequels… So they’re making a remake, couldn’t care less.
It’s an American version of a standard Kung-Fu apprentice movie with a crappy American kid who could never really do any Karate, I know it wasn’ the point but I could never get past that.
The Riddler get’s beaten into a coma by Hush in an early issue of Gotham Knights.
Great podcast like always. I thought your review of Hush was insightful, though at times it considered too much of the writing done after the arc. And as a lady, I’m glad to hear some serious discussion about the gender politics in this and other comics.
the song at the end must be made available somehow…. I am addicted…
So after listening to this episode, I went and skimmed through Hush and I didn’t see where Poison Ivy implied she molested Catwoman. Am I missing something?
