You might be familiar with Top Cow's Pilot Season books.  What was done in the past is different creators (usually five books) would be given a "pilot season" issue (like television shows often get).  After being put to a vote, the top two would be given a mini-series or ongoing series.  It has been announced that things will be a little different this year.  Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri will team up to co-create five original concepts for the Pilot Season initiative for 2009.  Kirkman will write while Silvestri will create the designs and draw the covers.  The interior art teams will be announced later.

What this does is give the readers a chance to choose what characters they feel are good enough to have their own books.  Voting will take place online.  To get an idea, check out these couple of designs by Silvestri.  This is your opportunity to be part of the democratic process.  You don't even have to be 18 to vote!

Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri!!!   I'm in!

I agree with the others, the last pic looks really good. Reminds me of a wicked fairy or something.

I might take a look at this. The only Kirkman title I read is the walking dead

I am so looking forward to this. When does it come out?

nice art!

This is a pretty awesome idea, I've just never been into Top Cow, but I'll give these a look for sure.

Velocity FTW!
