Also, maybe I'm reading into things to much...But I feel like there was a darkness hint in this issue, with who the demon was...idk, wishful thinking maybe?[/QUOTE]
Well, there is supposed to be The Darkness relaunch later this year, right? If this means the two storylines will intertwine, I think I will jizz like a fanboy.

Well, like I said, I may have been reading too much into things, but we shall see. Yeah, they said a new Darkness will be out in late 2018, or early 2019. I'm hoping to here something when I go to SDCC next month! Even if I'm wrong and they don't intertwine now, I'm sure they will in the future, this series already has talked about the Witchblade being an artfact, so I'm sure it will happen!

Here is an early review for Aphrodite V! I didn't read it all the way, cause spoilers (so yes, beware of spoilers), but it got a 92% or a 4.5/5 stars, so yay! Looking forward to it even more!

Its been a while since ive read Cyber Force (2012). Cant remember but is the current series a prequel to that or a complete reboot a la Witchblade?
Either way, its interesting that theyve still putting out a IXth Generation related one-shot.

I guess Matt Hawkins explained once that in the end of the Cyberforce (Artifacts)/Aphrodite IX/IXth Generation storyline the events that happened reset the entire universe (I don't exactly remember what it was), so technically it's a reboot, but it's consistent with the previous books. Does that make sense? Maybe I messed something up.

This is spoilers for the Gen IX series so I shall put it in a spoiler tag
[QUOTE][COLOR=#FFFFFF]At the end of Gen IX, Aphrodite IX was fighting her mother in a new body(on if the other Gen IX, Volicty's daughter, and they fought throughout time for many, many generations in what seemed like a never ending battle because they both didn't want to really kill the other. Aphrodite wanted it to end, so she used the Shadow Dial artifact to travel back to when her creator/mother was a small girl and killed her. After that Aphrodite traveled back to the future, only to see the world was still ending.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
But basically, that changed history and have us the current Cyber Force, made by a different person and company (with the same name). Also couldn't figure out how to do the spoiler tag thing lol. Never used it before. So sorry if some can read that XD. However, there is a mysterious Aphrodite in the current Cyber Force, my theory is it's Aphrodite IX, from the GEN IX series. So I think they're could be a connection.

Hey! New fan of Witchblade and been loving the series so far. So is it officially confirmed that Cyber Force and APHRODITE V are in the new rebooted Top Cow universe, much like how a new The Darkness series likely would be? I wanna make sure I'm picking up all the stuff that takes place in the rebooted universe as it's been a great jumping on point for me.

I would imagine they are. Im not sure its been outright stated but given that CF is itself a reboot of the previous stuff and you can jump in without needing any prior knowledge, then its a good place to jump on either way.

Thanks for the link.
[quote][B]Kittredge[/B]: The cast we lovingly refer to as Team Witchblade will still be Alex's core support going forward, but we're going to introduce plenty more types of monsters, new antagonists and new allies in future books. And rest assured, I have been campaigning with the powers that be to have some familiar faces show up in the book, so we'll see![/quote]
Wonder who she means. I wouldn't mind a Sara cameo.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as Sediar. If you check TC's website, it has those titles under the "Top Cow Universe" and not "Top Cow Productions". So it's safe to infer that they are in a shared universe. :D
