2017 Heroes Convention Witchblade Jam Figure by Tim Vigil

While a case could be made for The Darkness and, I guess, Cyberforce, we all know Marc Silvestri's most famous character was the one he had the least to do with, Sara Pezzini. It's Michael Turner's signature property too, despite forming a whole company around trying to recreate his biggest splash (Fathom pun!) As much as I seemed to avoid including female characters in this jam (but ethics in comic book historical accuracy,) this one was a no-brainer. Also one of the easiest combinations of property and contributor, since Tim Vigil was the artist on the infamous adults only pornographic splatter horror super-hero comic Faust (a likely but unacknowledged influence on Spawn and maybe Shadowhawk.) Vigil likes drawing sexy bad girls in skimpy (okay, preferably no) outfits and ultra-violent anti-heroes with pokey parts (double entendre!) It turned out great and necessarily fast (Vigil's turnaround is almost always less than an hour,) so Vigil was invaluable in helping to make up for lost time. I tried to go with exclusively "new" commission artists for this jam, but Vigil was one of the two exceptions, and I had no regrets with either.
