Top Cow Productions on Friday revealed details today for its fall fan-interactive promotion, Pilot Season 2007.
The event will consist of six self-contained one-shot specials featuring established Top Cow characters that are currently without regular series. After all six issues have been released, fans will have an opportunity to vote online for their favorite and the two winning characters will receive their own series in 2008.
As with a TV pilot, each of the six issues will serve as a sample of what a full length series might be like. The six issues will be released in August through November with one issue in August, two each in September and October, and the final issue releasing in November. The six characters starring are -- in order -- Ripclaw, Velocity, Cyblade, The Angelus, The Necromancer and Aphrodite IX.
August's Ripclaw Pilot Season #1 will be written by Jason Aaron with art by Jorge Lucas and a cover by Tony Moore.
"This is much more than a simple gimmick," said Top Cow's vice president of editorial, Rob Levin. ³We've put together teams to tell stories that flat out do not suck. Fans don't often get a say in terms of editorial direction in comics. Rather than stacking the deck and putting out two really good books and four okay ones, we've got six killer titles across the board. Any one of these books could support its own series."

This is very interesting....I kinda like this idea, let the fans vote for what they want. Either way, I'll be voting for Necromancer & Aphrodite IX. That's really the only 2 characters that I care about out of the 6 listed.
