Top Cow is doing a "Pilot Season" with some of their characters.  What does that mean?  Here's how they put it:

Pilot (noun): television show produced and filmed or taped as a sample of a proposed series.

This Fall, Top Cow is launching 7 Pilot Issues starring fan favorite characters currently without a series. After all 7 issues have been released, fans will be able to VOTE online and pick 2 characters to get greenlit for their own all-new series in 2008. It's up to you!

 I can say that this is a good issue.  You can check out my review: www.comicvine.com/comic/ripclaw-pilot-season/18957/112412//#reviews

I think it's going to be tough to pick just one to get it's own series.

(W) Jason Aaron
(A)Jorge Lucas
(Cov) Tony Moore

Eisner nominated writer Jason Aaron (Scalped, The Other Side) joins up with artist Jorge Lucas (Incredible Hulk, Annihilation: Ronan) to unleash Top Cow's resident badass in the first of eight special one-shots published under the Pilot Season 2007 initiative. The killer team is joined by intense cover artist Tony Moore (The Walking Dead, Exterminators).

To kill the Yakuza kingpin called Boss Yamamoto, you'd have to fight your way through level after deadly level of his secret fortress, past an army of gun-toting thugs and sword-wielding assassins. No one has ever been foolish enough to try. Enter Ripclaw. The fan-favorite character returns to the spotlight as dangerous as ever and fighting as if hell is at is his back.
