Available online now at www.topcow.com/covenant is the first 22 pages of The Covenant, a brand new original Graphic Novel by Top Cow Productions, hitting stores in September. Top Cow's new book is already set to be made into a live action feature film by Screen Gems in 2006, produced by Lakeshore Entertainment (producers of Screen Gems' Underworld and upcoming Underworld: Evolution). The Covenant features the Top Cow debut of Tone Rodriguez (Violent Messiahs) and the return of Aron Coleite (Proximity Effect), who also currently writes for NBC’s original hit series Crossing Jordan as well as Top Cow’s upcoming V.I.C.E. “I’m excited about this book because we’ve wanted to work with Tone for a while,” said Top Cow President Matt Hawkins “and we can’t get enough of Aron right now.” Another new name has been added to the Top Cow heard in colorist Blond who offered his specialty services for the book.

The Covenant is a 96 page full-color original graphic novel that follows the story of four teenage boys who all come from great families of powerful warlocks and are sent to summer camp to hone their powers. Years later when a mysterious murdering spree hits the town of their old camp, Caleb, Pogue, Reid and Miller begin to fear that their childhood antics may have played a role in the murders. Now the boys have returned to Camp Iwahanee with feelings of guilt, the mission of solving the case and stopping the terror before anyone else turns up dead.

Top Cow may have found a new great working duo or at the very least created a new friendship. “I’ve been a big fan of Tone’s,” said Coleite. "With 'Violent Messiahs' Tone created a world so rich - I had to take a shower after reading it. I came up with the story before Tone signed on, but afterwards I tried to write to Tone's strengths. Amazing detail. Killer action. An overall fantastic journey. With Tone’s strengths being utilized, he was able to deliver the book that will not disappoint Tone supporters or Top Cow fans. "You know I love the fact that Aron will write up a description that ends with, 'Tone, now 'just have fun.' It's just the kind of encouragement that I dig,” commented Rodriquez.

Retailers can order The Covenant graphic novel from the September 2005 Diamond Previews catalog for a retail price of $9.99, which arrives in early September.
