[ENGLISH] Top Cow Productions announced today the launch of a brand new mini-site highlighting their flagship title, Witchblade. Additionally, the publisher confirmed that the introductory priced Witchblade Volume 1 trade paperback would be available in stores this Wednesday, February 13th. The mini-site is part of Top Cow\u2019s ongoing effort to provide new and existing fans alike with a one-stop location on the internet to get information on their favorite Top Cow properties. Fans can direct their browsers to www.topcow.com\/witchblade<\/a> to explore the new website. The site features information about the Witchblade title, the principal characters in the series, preview key issues, and more. \u201cWe have a ton of exciting things happening in the world of Witchblade this year and we wanted to make sure fans get up to speed on the series,\u201d explained Top Cow Publisher, Filip Sablik.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the publisher\u2019s trade paperback re-branding initiative for Witchblade is the release of the Witchblade Volume 1 trade paperback on Wednesday, February 13th. The collection contains the initial storyline by current series writer, Ron Marz (First Born, Samurai: Heaven & Earth), entitled \u201cWitch Hunt.\u201d The six-issue story is an ideal jumping-on point for readers interested in discovering the modern Witchblade series. Drawn by Mike Choi (X-Men, X-23: Target X) and featuring an iconic painted cover by Stjepan Sejic (First Born, Angelus), the edition is an artistic tour-de-force. However, the thing sure to catch the attention of potential fans is the volume\u2019s aggressive introductory pricing, available exclusively in comic shops for only $4.99. The book market version will carry the regular $9.99 SRP on the cover. Volume 2 will follow in stores on February 27th with Volume 3 planned for release on March 12th.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could go on about \u2018Witch Hunt\u2019 being a ground-floor read meant to introduce Witchblade to a new audience, or about Mike Choi\u2019s phenomenal artwork, but really, all you need to know is six issues for five bucks. Come on, the only thing more awesome than that is the Giants winning the Super Bowl,\u201d said writer Ron Marz.<\/p>\n

Retailers are excited about the new trade paperback\u2019s release as well:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pricing for this trade paperback is incredible. Preorder sales were great and we expect sales will continue to be very high at release.\u201d – Cameron Merkler, Discount Comic Book Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cA trade paperback collection that\u2019s significantly less than the price of the six issues it collects if you bought them individually? Insanity! Or is it? I think this shows how excited the folks at Top Cow are about this Witchblade material and how committed they are to getting it in reader\u2019s hands. Bravo!\u201d \u2013 Roger Ash, Westfield Comics<\/p>\n

Praise for Ron Marz\u2019s Witchblade tenure:<\/p>\n

\u201cMarz has cut away the fat without destroying the history.\u201d Grade A \u2013 Paperback Reader<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Witchblade-verse is at its most newbie-friendly point in years.\u201d 4 Out of 5 \u2013 Silver Bullet Comics<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be intimidated by this series having over 100 issues so far. Now is as good a time as any to get on board.\u201d Grade A \u2013 Judgement Day, Comic World News<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no greater accomplishment for a writer than leaving a reader wanting more, and I want more. Witchblade is highly recommended.\u201d \u2013 Suspended Animation<\/p>\n

\u201cWitchblade is a damn fine read\u201d \u2013 Earth-2.net<\/p>\n
