Artifacts #40

DOUBLE-SIZED SERIES FINALE! RON MARZ returns to the title he helped launch with a self-contained MAGDALENA story foreshadowing his new MAGDALENA series (coming in January) while wrapping up ARTIFACTS! Also inside are two talent hunt winner stories! One a story of the Witchblade deep in the heart of Africa in 1904, and the other a present day story of Tom Judge trying to help a man afflicted with an ancient curse.

Features four stories:

• "Every Story" (by Steve Foxe and Adalor Alvarez): Set in the early 1900s, a thief and adventurer named Salifah Zayid is sent by Kenneth Irons to retrieve a special piece of jewlery from Josephine Valmont, the current bearer of the Witchblade.
• "With Teeth" (by Ron Marz and -Rom-): Patience, the current Magdalena, battles a demon over consecrated ground. Intended as a prologue for an upcoming Magdalena ongoing series.
• "Fenrir's Curse" (by Jim Mitchel and Fabian Quintero): Tom Judge aids a young priest who has been bitten by a werewolf.
• "Blood and Dust" (by Ryan Cady): Set in the late 1700s, an unnamed Magdalena hunts down a vampire that has been terrorizing Paris. (Note: this is a prose story with no artwork)
