Top Cow and comiXology Release Manifestations Digital Graphic Novel

As we see more and more comic books becoming available through digital distribution I have the impression some publishers will embrace the format while other could be left in the dust. We learned today Top Cow and comiXology have released an exclusive digital graphic novel, Manifestations. I’m not sure if this is the wave of the future but it’s interesting to see something from a well known comic company hit digitally first as opposed to being released in conjunction with a print edition.

From Top Cow and comiXology:

Top Cow Productions and comiXology are teaming up to deliver an all-new digitally exclusive graphic novel from creator Raffaele Ienco (Epic Kill) in time for this week’s huge Top Cow digital comic sale. Now fans of Ienco’s latest work can enjoy a full 124-page graphic novel and half-price issues of Top Cow’s top titles on comiXology — the revolutionary digital comics platform available across iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows 8 and the Web.

“Having Manifestations exclusively on comiXology offers a truly one-of-a-kind graphic novel experience when you combine Raffael Ienco’s stunning line-work with our Guided View reading technology and our high definition format CMX-HD,” said comiXology co-founder John D. Roberts. “It’s the perfect way to celebrate Top Cow’s entry into the world of Digital First publications.”

“We wanted to do something different with Manifestations,” said Top Cow Productions President Matt Hawkins. “This unique graphic novel combines with comiXology’s revolutionary reading experience to bring a truly terrifying thriller to comic fans worldwide. Top Cow has been in the forefront of the digital publishing revolution for some time, this exclusive deal with comiXology shows that we won’t stop innovating and brings Raffael Ienco’s story to the market in a whole new way.”

Raffaele Ienco’s Manifestations tells the story of a woman tormented by the ghost of her abusive husband only to discover that her psychically gifted daughter, Alice, has brought him back to life. Their journey takes them through a nightmarish landscape of desolation and terror as Alice begins to develop her powers amid tragedy and despair. With secrets around every corner only time will tell what horror awaits.

In addition to offering Manifestations for download this week, comiXology is also having a sale on all Top Cow: Rebirth downloads through Thursday August 30th. Both the sale and Manifestations are available at comiXology today.
