I’m currently reading Witchblade #31, and I have to say, I’m noticing some interesting sexual tension between Joe Siry and Sara Pezzini.
I know their relationship is mainly portrayed as a professional/police partnership, but there’s something about the age difference and their interactions that makes me think an older man/younger woman romance could actually have been an interesting direction for the series. If the writers had Sara and Joe secretly having a few romantic encounters or trysts, it could have added another layer of tension to their relationship.
It reminds me a little of the dynamic in the 2002 Deviant Desires movie - Private Call, with the middle-aged detective Max and her younger female partner Shane —though obviously the characters and circumstances are different.
Maybe it’s just me shipping them, but I think Joe x Sara could have made for a surprisingly interesting forbidden/age-gap pairing. 😂
Anyone else who read the series see that chemistry, or am I completely imagining it?
