Necromancer was a comic book project being developed by Matt Hawkins, which was hyped in the Wizard Top Cow Spectacular in 2001. But the book didn't actually get published until 2005. Did you pick it up when it eventually came out?

Here's the hype piece for the sequel to No Honor from Top Cow, No Honor: Mayko. A mini-series imagined as being 6 issues of a 24 issue run, yet it was never published.

We just got some insight from Matt Hawkins of Top Cow on who ended up buying the foosball table and it's amazing!

Here's the write-up about Inferno: Hellbound, the new series from Top Cow in 2001 that was Marc Silvestri's return to penciling a monthly comic. But this tale of a Suicide Squad like team infiltrating Hell didn't last long. Did you give it read back in the day?

Here's the article in the Wizard Top Cow Spectacular where it's revealed that #laracroft would be having crossovers with Top Cow original characters in #TombRaider , but Michael Turner refused to make Aspen and the world of Fathom a part of the Top Cow "Universe" initiative.

The Top Cow offices had a foosball table adorned with illustrations of characters from #Witchblade, #TombRaider and more, drawn by the comic book artists who played on the table. A one of a kind item that was available to buy on eBay in November of 2001!

As discussed on our recent episode, here's the look at "A Day In The Life" of Top Cow executive, Matt Hawkins. Which as it turns out, was filled with e-mails, contract approvals and invoice discrepancies. Party, party party! 😄
