CONTEST . Witchblade Collectors Box + DVD Vol 1

So Funimation has been kind enough to give us two Witchblade Collectors’s Box + DVD Vol. 1 sets to give away. Can you say “awesome”? The set includes the first DVD of the Anime series, a soundtrack cd, and of course, the shiny box itself.

The DVD contains episodes 1- 4 along with the following extras:
A Tour of Top Cow Studios with Marc Silvestri.
Japanese Cast Interview - Masane Amaha.
Promotional Video.
8pg Insert Booklet.
Textless Songs.
FUNimation Trailers.

For those of you not in the know, Witchblade is a reimagining of a mid nineties Top-Cow comic by Mark Silvestri. But, what makes this different than most other reimaginings is that the original creator had a say in the final product. Here’s the synopsis from the Witchblade website:

Masane Amaha is a woman on the fringe of society, but her strange destiny was written ages past. She has been chosen from the anonymous depths of history, a fresh host for the coveted artifact known as the Witchblade.

The raw power of conquering armies courses through her veins, the taste of death sweet on her lips – Naked aggression with brutal birth in the fires of eternal lust for battle. Struggling to build a life her daughter, with no memory of the past and no clue as to her future, Masane Amaha will be forever scarred by her salvation… And many will step forward to see it.

Sounds good, no?

For your chance to win this bad boy, you’ll need only answer a simple question:

Marc Silvestri had two female supero creations with the word “Blade” featured prominently in their names. Name this second character, along with the super hero team to which she belonged.

Send your answers, along with a subject of “Witchblade Contest” to witchbladeContest at dreamlogic.net. The contest will close, and winners will be notified by email November 4th, 2007.

I’ll also be reviewing the package myself this weekend. Good luck to you all.
