Issue #1 of Top Cow’s ‘Artifacts’ was released last month, but this Witchblade relaunch as already got people talking. John Tyler Christopher‘s variant cover has sold out twice, with a third printing on the way. It’s going to be a huge run for Top Cow and a very good thing for my good friend (not to mention insanely talented artist) John Tyler Christopher.

Thankfully, Top Cow is trying to get away for the ‘Woman in a tiny Bikini’ look. So, John was charged with redesigning and breathing new life into some of the major characters in the Witchblade universe. I can not stress to you how much thought and care went into each an every little detail on each of his covers, but the results are breathtaking.

Chris and I had the pleasure of posing as reference for all 13 covers. Working with John is always super fun, not-to-mention always results in seriously amazing art.
