Top Cow Productions sent word that the 2007 Pilot Season winner, Velocity gets her own four-part series this month.
From the press release
Written by Ron Marz (Witchblade, Magdalena, Artifacts) and featuring art by Kenneth Rocafort (Cyberforce/Hunter-Killer, Madame Mirage), Velocity #1 focuses on Carin Taylor, the fastest woman in the world. At least, she’d better be if she wants to save her own life and the lives of her Cyberforce teammates. When a former Cyberdata scientist – and test subject – seeks revenge against the members of Cyberforce, only Velocity can save her friends before the clock literally runs out. The series will utilize a unique story-telling technique by having a literal ticking clock through out the series counting down one minute per page as Velocity races around the globe.
“I’ve been getting to use the supernatural side of the Top Cow Universe as my playground for a while now, so I jumped at the chance to write one of my favorites from the superhero/tech side. Plus, I’ve got a thing for redheads. I’ve also got a thing for Kenneth Rocafort, who I think is one of the brilliant artists working in comics right now. We’re going to pay off Velocity’s Pilot Season win with a story that’s got her literally running for her life, and the lives of her teammates.”
Kenneth Rocafor and Chriscross provide two covers for the first issue hitting stores on June 30, 2010.

I’ll say this … that is a purdy picture. :)
Holy wow, is she cute!
At the risk of sounding like a fanboy freak with a fetish – a girl like that, whose primary ability probably allows for a lot of focus on her feet, is worth the price for the visuals.
