These blades can do more than just slice and dice.
The sword may seem an old-fashioned weapon nowadays, but in the world of comics, the blade is still the weapon of choice for many heroes and villains alike. From katanas to Scottish broadswords, the variety of swords employed by some of our favorite characters can be quite staggering.
Though they may not be all that effective in a gunfight (unless you can stop bullets with your blade), swords are undeniably cool weapons.

Besides, it takes real guts to use nothing but a blade against an army of trigger-happy opponents.
