[ENGLISH] LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 27th, 2009 \u2013 Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced its plans today for this weekend\u2019s Free Comic Book Day, Saturday, May 2nd which takes place in comic shops across North America. Free Comic Book Day is an annual event where participating direct market stores give out free comics to anyone that walks into their store. Top Cow is participating again in the event with their Free Comic Book Day offering, Cyberforce\/Hunter-Killer First Look. The issue serves as an introduction to the publisher\u2019s summer event of the same name, which brings together the two popular teams Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer. The series and Free Comic Book Day offering is written by Mark Waid (Amazing Spider-Man, Irredeemable) and drawn by Kenneth Rocafort (Astonishing Tales, Madame Mirage). Both teams were co-created by Top Cow founder Marc Silvestri and Hunter-Killer was co-created by writer Mark Waid. The teams have been absent from a regular series for several years and this marks their return to the forefront of the Top Cow Universe.<\/p>\n

About Top Cow Productions Inc.
\nTop Cow Productions, Inc.

A feature film, co-produced by Platinum Studios, Inc. and Arclight Films, is slated to begin production in Australia with director Michael Rymer. WITCHBLADE is also the first American property to be fully adapted in Japan as an original anime and manga by Studio GONZO in 2006.

WANTED, an Eisner-nominated miniseries published by Top Cow from 2003-2005, is now a major motion picture from Universal Pictures starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman. Virtually all of Top Cow\u2019s other properties are in development as feature films, live-action television, animation or video games.
