Top Cow Productions launches a new corporate division this August focusing on animation for its expansive character base. The initiative is being spearheaded by the launch of an "animated" style comic written by animation master Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series"), and with art by a studio's worth of artists headed by Darwyn Cooke (Catwoman). The initiative is also supported by a major toy launch from Palisades Toys featuring Witchblade, Magdalena and The Darkness.

The Witchblade Animated comic book will be released in early August with a special launch event at the Wizard World Chicago convention August 8-10...

Considering that Top Cow doesn't have any actual animated programming yet, I figured it would be best posted on this board, but mods, feel free to move it if you like.

Anyways, I asked the PR lady at Top Cow if they were working on any animated projects and she said this:

We're preparing story bibles and such now to go out and try to make some deals. Nothing is signed yet. But hopefully...

My thoughts...how AWESOME would a Rising Stars animated series be?

Here what Witchblade will look like.

I would be very pumped for a RISING STARS animated series, but only if written by JMS (after all, he's got the TV experience). A FATHOM animated series would be cool as well.

They can't do Fathom. Michael Turner moved out of the Cow with Fathom.

That's right! Damn, woulda been a great visual.
