TOP COW PRODUCTIONS AND ROCKETSHIP ENTERTAINMENT PARTNER TO BRING FANS ALL NEW EXCLUSIVES AND COLLECTED EDITIONS ⋆ First Comics News

The Darkness Complete Collection Volume 4 Coming to Kickstarter May 12^th

LOS ANGELES, April 29^th, 2026 – Rocketship Entertainment and Top Cow Productions have announced that they will be partnering to bring all new unique products and collected editions to fans through Kickstarter and the Top Cow Store.

Rocketship is powering Top Cow’s new ecommerce store which continues to give fans new experiences with the titles they love. New exclusives, slabs, and collections will be releasing every month. Recent drops include The Darkness vs. Angelus “I Hate Fairyland” Team-Up variants, The Darkness / Invincible Team Up variants, slabbed 9.8 Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo signed copies, and the Top Cow Holiday Special: All Through the House foil variant.

The partnership runs on Rocketship’s proprietary publishing infrastructure, built to handle the full lifecycle of a modern comics launch. Rocketship’s in-house technology stack manages crowdfunding integration, BackerKit pledge management, Shopify storefronts, inventory and fulfillment logistics, and a unified customer data platform across every channel. It’s an end-to-end system purpose-built for direct-to-fan publishing at scale, giving Top Cow a turnkey path to launch campaigns, drop exclusives, and ship product seamlessly.

In the last year, Top Cow and Rocketship have launched massively successful Kickstarter campaigns for titles like Sunstone, Crimson, and Cyber Force, with an upcoming campaign for The Darkness Complete Collection Volume 4 launching in May, followed by campaigns for Freshmen, Witchblade, and Stjepan Sejic’s Letters to the Vampire Queen. The campaigns include access to slab cards, mini-prints, variants, challenge coins, signed bookplates and other exclusive merchandise that’s never been available before.

“We’re thrilled to be working with the team at Top Cow,” says Rocketship Publisher and CEO Tom Akel. “It’s an honor to work on such seminal titles, and we’re beyond excited to elevate the fan experience with them.”

“Top Cow has always been about connecting with fans and pushing how comics are experienced,” said Marc Silvestri, founder of Top Cow Productions. “Partnering with Rocketship gives us the infrastructure to take that further than ever—delivering premium editions, exclusive content, and new ways for readers to engage with the worlds we’ve built.”
