Broken Frontier

Top Cow Productions is pleased to announce its exclusive variant offerings for New York Comicon 2007 taking place at the Javits Center in New York City on February 23rd through February 25th. Top Cow will launch its 2007 convention tour at the New York show.

Witchblade Takeru Manga #1 will debut at the New York Comicon. In addition to the three previously solicited covers for this manga event featuring art by series artist Kazasa Sumita, animation studio GONZO, and Christian Gossett (The Red Star), Top Cow will also offer a limited edition Marc Silvestri Sketch cover. The cover features the Top Cow founder's interpretation of Takeru, the teen-aged star of Witchblade Takeru Manga, and marks the first time Silvestri has drawn this character. This New York Comicon exclusive will be limited to 1000 copies and available for show attendees at $10. Also available at the show will be Top Cow's exclusive X-23: Target X #1 Mike Choi Variant, a limited edition printing of The Darkness Ultimate Collection trade paperback, and a New York Comicon exclusive The Darkness baseball shirt. The Darkness Ultimate Collection trade paperback will feature a red foil cover treatment and come with an exclusive mini-lithograph by Silvestri and will be limited to only 100 copies for the regular cover price of $20.

Top Cow is also thrilled to announce that video game writer and novelist Joshua Ortega (Star Wars, Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer) will appear at the Top Cow booth for signing times throughout the show. As previously announced, other creators slated to sign at the Top Cow booth include Marc Silvestri, Paul Dini, Tyler Kirkham, Ron Marz, Frank Tieri, and David Wohl. Top Cow's editorial staff will also be on hand for portfolio reviews. Stay tuned for further announcements on Top Cow's signing schedule and panel times.

“The buzz for the New York Comicon has been unreal,” Filip Sablik, Vice President of Marketing & Sales remarked. “We really wanted to give the fans attending the show something special and you can't get much better than two Marc Silvestri exclusives.”
