Top Cow Sneak Peek of the Week

Review: Dr. Horrible

From the moment Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog hit the intardwebz, fans of musical comedies, with a superhero hook have been in seventh heaven. While there have been a couple of attempts to tell a Dr. Horrible origin story, the official take on the villain’s past can only be found in the pages of Dr. Horrible #1 from Dark Horse Comics.

Review: Nola #1

Scorned and left for dead by the man she thought she loved, Nola Thomas returns to the flooded city of New Orleans a different woman than she was prior to the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina. What sequence of events could change a beautiful woman looking for love to a scarred woman looking for revenge?

Top Cow Sneak Peek of the Week

By: Stephen Schleicher | July 15th, 2007

Thanks to a couple of email skips, I missed out on some sneak peeks, but Filip at Top Cow comes to the rescue with three sneak peeks you want to check out. This installment features Unholy Union, Witchblade, and First Born.

Unholy Union

(Cov) Marc Silvestri
The biggest Top Cow/Marvel crossover yet crashes into stores in June! Bringing together The Darkness and Witchblade along with no less than three Marvel superstars, this crossover is going to bring the house down!

Every mob boss needs a competent lawyer. Jackie Estacado’s hired a great one (even though he does happen to be blind). But even if Jackie can beat the rap, the Spirit of Vengeance is not so easily satisfied. As if a battle royale between The Darkness and Ghost Rider weren’t enough, this special features the incredible Hulk rampaging through New York City, both the current and former bearers of the Witchblade, and even an appearance by the master of the mystic arts, Doctor Strange. A stand-alone story that nevertheless sets the stage for Top Cow’s First Born event, this is a tale in which all hell breaks loose — literally!

Written by Ron Marz (Witchblade, Ion) and drawn by Top Cow’s latest find, Michael Broussard, this is one crossover that demands your attention. Oh, yeah… The book also contains an exclusive preview of First Born!
