Topcow brings together most of their characters for this massive event featuring the Darkness, Angelus, and Magdalena among others.

The Story revolves around the mysterious pregnancy of Sara and the power struggle between the forces of the Darkness and the Angelus. Long term readers will be enjoy the wide reaching effects of the story as it is rumored to affect the relaunch of TOMB RAIDER, DARKNESS, and a slew of one shots that topcow will be releasing soon after the crossover.

The main complaint of fans of topcow has been its erratic shipping schedule with a lot of books not shipping on time due to numerous delays in art or writing. The regular witchblade series had to be rushed as its story ties directly into first born.

Initial indications look positive as FIRST BORN #1 delivers in both art and story and ties in all the characters in the topcow universe fluidly. Check this sleeper hit in a local comic shop near you
