October
12, 2004, Runnemede, NJ – While Top Cow Productions
preps the new Hunter-Killer comic book series by writer Mark
Waid and artist (and Top Cow head-Cow) Marc Silvestri, Dynamic
Forces, Inc. announced today a comprehensive marketing and
product plan to support the launch.
“Dynamic and Top Cow have been friends
and partners for as long as both companies have been in existence,”
explained Nick Barrucci, President of Dynamic Forces. “Each
time Marc Silvestri launches a series, whether it was the
initial eight issues of The Darkness, or the exciting 4 issue
run on X-Men, he does it with guns a’blazin! And this
time, he’s partnering up with Mark Waid – one
of the most talented writers in comics. With this new series,
we’re both poised to bring the maximum amount of excitement
to the fans, and the industry!”
"Nick and I have done a lot of business
over the years, but even I was a little shocked at his extensive
proposal on what he wanted to do with Hunter Killer,"
says Top Cow President Matt Hawkins. "Top Cow and Dynamic
Forces are looking to kick off 2005 in a major way and Mark
Waid and Marc Silvestri's Hunter Killer will undoubtedly be
our big book for the year."
Hunter-Killer #1 will debut in February ’05
and promises to kick-start the year! Hunter-Killer shows signs
of being the #1 book in February and one of the top books
of the year. DF will be working closely with Top Cow to help
maximize sales and attention by producing cool limited edition
collectibles beginning in February, and throughout the rest
of ’05! With the marketing support planned by both Top
Cow and Dynamic Forces, retailers and fans can feel confident
that a steady stream of merchandise will be coming out throughout
the year. The fun begins in February with exclusive DF covers
for the series as well as the exclusive Signed and Re-Marked
(featuring original pieces of art from the series creators)
editions, exclusive sketchbooks featuring the art of Marc
Silvestri, an exclusive Lithograph featuring incredible art
from the series. As the series progresses, DF will release
an additional lithograph and Statues based on characters from
the series throughout the year. DF also plans to produce a
trading card series based on Marc Silvestri’s awesome
Hunter-Killer art.
To help gain further attention outside of
the comics market, and expand the awareness of Hunter-Killer,
DF is also working to schedule TV shows to spotlight the Hunter-Killer
comics and collectibles as well as other great Top Cow merchandise,
which will be an incredible treat for fans of Top Cow, this
new series, and comics in general.

program – including art and pre-order information --
