| | Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Witchblade |
 | | The Witchblade was first seen in a preview edition given out at the 1995 San Diego Comic Book Convention, bundled with a preview of Cyblade, a would-be spin-off of the superhero team Cyberforce. |
 | | The name "Witchblade" refers to an ancient, living weapon, the origin of which is unknown, wielded by heroic women across a span of many centuries. |
 | | She acquired it in a homicide case in which her partner, Michael Yee, was killed and she'd have been killed too, if the spirit dwelling within the Witchblade hadn't psychically called out to her, inducing her to put it on. |
