WITCHBLADE TV UPDATE

Top Cow Productions, TNT and eBay have teamed up to raise money for the American Cancer Society through a special promotion for the Witchblade television series, which launches June 12 on TNT.

Beginning June 11, eBay will host listings on its site for such unique items as Yancy Butler's leather jacket from the TV film signed by the entire cast, signed episode scripts, original artwork from the Witchblade comic book and many other one-of-a kind items. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

"We'd been talking with eBay about doing a special promotion on their site for the Witchblade series," says Top Cow president Matt Hawkins. "And since Witchblade co-creator Michael Turner has been fighting cancer for the past year it seemed a logical charity to donate the proceeds to."

"TNT was thrilled to partner with Top Cow to provide the Witchblade signature items to benefit The American Cancer Society through eBay," said Scot Safon, TNT marketing senior vice-president. "It's a great opportunity for Witchblade fans to get engaged in the fight against cancer."

Jake is propositioned by an alluring young woman who may give him more than he expects.

TOM RANEY TO DRAW THOR

Tom Raney told The Continuum that he will be the new regular artist of Marvel Comics' Thor.

"As soon as I wrap up my commitments with the X-office I'll be jumping over," Raney told The Continuum. " I'm very excited about it. It's been a while since I've had a book of my own, so I'm thrilled.

"Also, it's pretty much the only solo character book I've ever worked on, so I'm looking forward to that experience. I've been a fan of Thor since I was a kid. Getting the chance to put my stamp on Thor is something I've been hoping to get a shot at for the longest time."

Raney, who has been the regular fill-in artist on X-Men and Ultimate X-Men, will likely start with Thor #45. Dan Jurgens continues as writer, and Scott Hanna will ink.
