PILOT SEASON: THE CORE #1

(W) Jonathan Hickman (A) Kenneth Rocafort (Cov) Kenneth Rocafort


The Core is the center of the known universe where ancient and well-established species have created powerful empires, federations and cooperatives. The Core is also the most dangerous place in existence, and younger races are not welcomed warmly. When the first human is appointed to an extraterrestrial Special Forces unit, the soldier must first earn the respect of his peers as he fights for the recognition of his species.
The writing of critically acclaimed scribe Jonathan Hickman (Nightly News, Pax Romana) and the distinct stylings of Madame Mirage artist Kenneth Rocafort combine for this unique Pilot Season book!

  OVERVIEW
   
 

Publishing company Top Cow is continuing their Pilot Season program where readers get to vote on which comics going into the companies publishing schedule. There are six books total in the competition with the first two books launching in May. Last year, the Pilots were all based on existing Top Cow characters that didn’t have their own books. This year will feature four completely original stories plus two stories from other formats. It just so happens that the two stories that have been published elsewhere are the two books kicking off this year’s pilot season, Lady Pendragon and Twilight Guardian.
