Image/Top Cow’s Witchblade Manga Trailer Version 2.0 Debuts Online
Image Comics and Top Cow Productions have announced that a new trailer promoting its Witchblade Takeru Manga #1 (Sumita Cover A: DEC061899D, Gossett Cover B: DEC061900D) is available for viewing online!
The updated video trailer for Witchblade Takeru Manga – created by Matt Swift at Swift Graphics – debuted at the New York Comic Con and ran on a continuous loop on two screens at the Top Cow booth. The initial trailer premiered in late December and quickly accumulated over 6,000 downloads in the first few weeks of availability. To view the trailer, direct your Internet browser to YouTube.com or Revver.com.
“The fan reaction to these trailers has been awesome,” said Top Cow Vice President of Marketing & Sales Filip Sablik. “I'd encourage everyone to check out Version 2.0, especially anyone who missed it the first time around. It's all part of our goal to have Top Cow present in all forms of media.”
In this bold reimagining of the Witchblade mythos, Takeru is a typical teenager being raised by nuns in a Buddhist monastery. Plagued by dreams of a strange claw locked in a box in the monastery, Takeru is unaware that her destiny is to become the next to bear the ancient Witchblade! Originally serialized in Japan’s popular magazine, Champion Red, the series is written by Witchblade Anime head scribe Sumita Kazasa and features art by Kobayashi Yasuko. Considered canon in the Witchblade universe, this uniquely Japanese tale is collected for American consumers in standard comic format and in full color for the first time!
In addition to the in-stock first issue, upcoming issues include Witchblade Takeru Manga #2 Sumita Cover A (JAN071966D) & Gonzo Cover B (JAN071967D) and #3 (FEB071926D). Furthermore, Witchblade Takeru Manga #4 (MAR071873D), which carries an Order Increase Cut-Off (OIC) date of April 3, is available for order with your March Previews. Furthermore, you can capitalize on consumer excitement for the Asian-influenced version of Witchblade with Red Star artist Christian Gossett’s Witchblade Manga #1 Limited Edition Lithograph (DEC061902D). Limited to 500 pieces, it’s also available in an extremely rare Signed Edition (DEC061903D). Reproduced with the highest quality possible, both versions run 12” x 18”.
