MICHAEL BROUSSARD TO DRAW AFTIFACTS
Top Cow Productions has announced that Michael Broussard, formerly of The Darkness, will draw the first four issues of Artifacts.
According to Top Cow, Broussard will be the first of three artists to handle four issues of of the Ron Marz-written series, with a "special guest artistz" drawing the 13th and final issue.
"Both Ron and I are incredibly excited to have Michael leading the artistic charge for Artifacts. He's done an incredible job of the last few years on The Darkness and this is a fantastic opportunity to elevate fan's awareness of his beautiful work," said Top Cow publisher Filip Sablik.
"By having three different art teams working on this massive event series, we hope to avoid some of the problems that have plagued other projects of this scope, such as delays or last-minute artistic changes."
Artifacts promises to be Top Cow's ambitious series and will weave together story lines from a number of Top Cow titles, including Witchblade, The Darkness, Angelus and Broken Trinity: Pandora's Box. It has been known that 13 mystical Artifacts guide the fate of the Top Cow Universe. For centuries, it's been whispered that bringing together all 13 artifacts would bring upon mankind's destruction. The series will begin with a mysterious figure who seeks to put Armageddon into motion.
A 32-page prelude story will be available in Free Comic Book Day's Artifacts First Look issue on May 1. The story will help readers get up to speed on the current status of the key players in the Top Cow Universe going into the summer event as well as bring key elements of the story into play.
