Top Cow has kept their readers heavily involved since their first Pilot Season in 2007, allowing readers to choose the next ongoing title through online voting.
Since then, over 4 million readers from all over the world have participated in voting, which I personally feel is a reflection of their success.
Top Cow has officially released the concepts for their upcoming Pilot Season titles, which will hit store shelves later this year. Check out the incredible preview art and concepts below. Will you be picking up these issues?
Are you looking forward to voting this Pilot Season?
”Pilot Season started as an experiment, but has evolved into a highly anticipated yearly event,” commented Top Cow Publisher Filip Sablik, “This year we’re amping up the intensity based on fan and retailer feedback by releasing all 6 projects in a weekly format. With a wide variety of creators, genres, and styles represented, I’m confident there’s something for everyone in this 2010’s contestants!”
