Heroes Online Spotlights Artifacts #1

This series is being billed as an event 5 years in the making and one which is said to be remaking the characters in the Top Cow universe. At the same time, early publicity is saying that this issue is a good jumping on point for new readers. So if you’re a fan of older stories of Witchblade and the Darkness, or just curious about the characters in general you might have some interest in checking this one out. Veteran writer Ron Marz is at the reins of this one, with artist Michael Broussard handling the art. These characters remain popular properties, and it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if this one sells quickly.

WIZARD SPOTLIGHT: 'URBAN MYTHS'

As a pretty big Faerberite (Noble Causes and Dynamo 5 kick all kinds of ass), news of the Image writer's involvement in Top Cow's Pilot Season got me all tingly and giddy inside. Compounded by the fact that his story revolved around a world infused with elements of Greek mythology—of which I'm a nerdy aficionado of—the days leading to the release of Urban Myths seemed almost endless.
