Eternal #1 (of 4)

Author: William Harms
Artist: Giovanni Valletta

In a world of clones, the Human Liberation Army wants to free people from New Life’s grasp. Their leader Gail will take the most drastic, personal measures yet to do so. Rathmann, a former homicide detective turned New Life enforcer, is on the case, and is asking tough questions. Violet, a young girl and one of the few non-cloned humans—or Pures—is longing to enter the real world. But she has no idea the danger she is stepping into.

William Harms (Impaler, Infamous) is crafting a gripping, sophisticated story about what happens if science completely changes the rules of life itself. This is a story where characters’ ethics and loyalties are tested, for society has changed but human failings remain the same. The next step in humanity is brought to glorious life by Giovanni Valetta (Dark Horse Presents).

Leave Someone at the Altar and You’re in for a Shotgun Wedding

Mike Stone wants nothing more than to marry the woman of his dreams… but the last woman of his dreams wants nothing more than to stop him. This April, the new Shotgun Wedding miniseries from Top Cow‘s Minotaur Press imprint will give you a slice of vengeful wedding drama to look forward to each week, all month long.

William Harms and Edward Pun introduce an assassin named Mike and his smart, sexy, 2nd-grade-teacher fiancée, Denise. Mike loves Denise more than anything in the world, but Chloe—his first fiance who got left in the lurch—has been plotting her revenge.

In a release Harms said:

Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my favorite movies. I absolutely love the balance it strikes in tone between Martin’s job—killing people—and how he struggles to reconcile that with the rest of his life. Ever since that movie came out, I’ve been wanting to write a story about an assassin and then one day a little lightbulb went off in my head and I thought, Imagine if an assassin was going to get married, and on that very special day, all of his enemies showed up… and one them was his ex-fiancée.

All four issues will come out in April, one a week and will each be available for $3.99. The first issue in the four-issue miniseries Shotgun Wedding arrives in stores on 4/2 and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code FEB140515.

Shotgun Wedding #2 can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code: FEB140516 and will be available on 4/9. Shotgun Wedding #3 can be pre-orded using Diamond Code: FEB140517 and will be available on 4/16, and Shotgun Wedding #4 can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code: FEB140518 and will be available on 4/23.

39 MINUTES WINS TOP COW’S PILOT SEASON 2010

LOS ANGELES, Calif., December 10, 2010 – As announced on MTV Geek, Top Cow Productions, Inc. is proud to announce that the winners of Pilot Season 2010 is William Harms and Jerry Lando’s 39 MINUTES.

39 MINUTES turns a heist story on its head when a group of ex-soldiers turned bank robbers’ decide to hit up small towns leaving a path of destruction by killing everyone who gets in their way.  As the clock’s ticking, the only man who can stop them just happens to be in prison and refuses to help.

“All of the books in this year’s competition are really good,” said Harms.  “I’m excited and humbled that 39 MINUTES came out on top.”

Fans rushed to the web, even crashing the first poll, to vote for their favorite 2010 Pilot Season one-shots.  Pilot Season is an annual initiative Top Cow began in 2007 that borrows its concept from the television industry: five ‘pilots’ are submitted for consideration to be ‘picked up for a season,’ except instead of TV executives decided their fates, it’s the fans!

Now that 39 MINUTES has been declared the winner, the creative team will work with Top Cow’s editorial department to start planning out their series, which will debut in 2011.

Previous winners of Pilot Season include: CYBLADE, VELOCITY, TWILIGHT GUARDIAN and GENIUS.  VELOCITY can currently be found at your local comic book shop shelves, TWILIGHT GUARDIAN (NOV100495) is available for pre-order and, along with GENIUS, will be debuting in 2011.
