Top Cow performs a shove-it backfoot underflip

Top Cow is really riding the popularity of Witchblade and Darkness, two of their more popular franchises. And soon you will be able to as well! Top Cow has recently announced a new partnership with Graphic Image Skateboards to create decks featuring Top Cow properties. Each deck comes with trucks and wheels, and it seems that at first only Witchblade, The Darkness and Savage Dragon versions will be available. But I'm sure that as these make some money there will be more released as time goes on. Graphic Image Skateboards founder is clearly excited about the partnership. “The partnership with Top Cow is simply surreal to me,” marveled Andrew Brousseau, founder of Graphic Image Skateboards. “When Image and Top Cow were founded back in 1992, it really revitalized for me the excitement that was once found in visiting the local comic book store. And so in partnering up with Top Cow today to make skateboards, I really feel it’s an incredible opportunity to revitalize the excitement that was once found in buying a new skateboard deck.” The boards will be available starting November 1. Each are $99, and you better get your pre-orders in soon because only 300 of each type will be made initially. Don't want to dilute the brand and all that. Full press release below.
