(and upon return we'll talk about the new series and much more...)

"...I LIVE!"

IL SIGILLO DI NERISSA (Nerissa's seal) is to be considered actually the first issue of the news series: while the previous ones were meant to close down the remaining plots of the Phobos affair, this opens a whole new saga.
Due to an improbabile and crackpot combination of events, Nerissa, former Heart of Kandrakar's Guardian who was corrupted by that great power and had brought death in the ancient Witch group of Yan Lin, awakes and obviously her first thought - instead of searching a doctor to cure her terrible dermatite - is to take revenge against the present guardians. For this aim she turns a dog into a warrior and attacks Hay Lin, the first that should die because descendant of Yan Lin. For the Witches it's the beginning of a nightmare...

Indeed a good issue. Artibani is always a tough author, full of ideas and able to merge his comic and dramatic tendences in the right way. Sometimes he even makes us think about Witch as an adult comic-book. His scripts and his characters just tend to suffer of stereotypes, such as the usual brainless brute, the super-fat sheriff trying to hide the evidence, the classical curse sealing an evil being forever BUT IF... anyway, good. We found very well Alessia Martusciello, who had drawn #8, THE ROSES OF MERIDIAN. Her hand is evidently refined, it became more rounded and plastic, thus assimilating some manga iconography. But, it's a pity that at the same time she lost some of her original underground charme that made her so original. If we can give her a tip, she should try to improve staying inside her own style, keeping on hitting the standards.
Very cool also internal covers, most of all the second one that has some horror taste, and Will on the cover looks more cute than many people said.
PKERS' rating: 8/10 (also for encouragement...)

Indeed yes, dear friends: it seems yesterday but a whole year is passed. 365 days ago PKERS was born, just to grow fast and claim its good place in the pk-sites pantheon. We made so many things, but all this is just the very beginning of all our projects, our fantasy and our will to give over and over again beautiful and interesting stuff.
And for this great party, may there be a better cake of this one, with a gorgeous half-naked Lyla on the top?
