SELL OUT OF THE CRAWLING DEAD!

CRAWL SPACE: XXXOMBIES #2 sells out, second printing on the way!

December 18th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - Following its much anticipated debut, CRAWL SPACE: XXXOMBIES #2 has sold out at a distribution level with a second printing on its way to meet demand.

"I'm glad the response for the book has been so strong," Remender said. "When we saw the orders for #3 and #4 go up we knew the book had found it's audience. Working with Kieron Dwyer and Tony Moore is always a joy and the sales on this mean Kieron and I will be able to produce Crawl Space together for years to come."

CRAWL SPACE, the ongoing horror anthology by FEAR AGENT's Rick Remender and REMAINS' Kieron Dwyer, made its debut with "XXXombies", a collaboration with THE WALKING DEAD's original artist, Tony Moore. The immediate reaction resulted in a quick sell through on the first issue, with subsequent orders remaining solid. To thank fans for the support, the second printing of issue #2 will feature an all-new cover by series artist Kieron Dwyer.

Dwyer said, "Crawl Space is a dream project for me and Rick, so it's definitely very gratifying that people are digging the series launch so much. We had such a ball making the XXXombies arc, we're really glad to know that others are enjoying it too. Thanks to the fans and retailers for their support of our new baby!"

CRAWL SPACE: XXXOMBIES #2 2nd printing (OCT078336), a 32-page comic for $2.99, will be available January 9th, 2008.

SWORD STRIKES SIMULTANEOUS SELL OUT!

Jonathan and Joshua Luna's THE SWORD faces a dual sell out!

December 6th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - Barely twenty four hours after release, both THE SWORD #3 and the current printing of #1 have sold out at a distribution level.

"Surprisingly, THE SWORD #3 came out a week early and it sold out before its initial release date," series artist Jonathan Luna said. "We’re absolutely thrilled that people are enjoying The Sword."

This follows the success of their first two series, ULTRA and GIRLS, which both saw multiple sell outs and subsequent reprints for the first several issues. THE SWORD continues this trend with all three issues selling out soon after release. Like with the recent sell out of the second issue, both #1 and #3 will be printed once again in an effort to meet demand.

Writer Joshua Luna said, "It’s great that the demand is high, and, more importantly, that we are able to meet that demand with extra printings."

THE SWORD #1 and #3 (OCT078039) second printings, both 32-page comic books for $2.99, will be available December 27th. In addition, the current printing of THE SWORD #2 is in stock.

GUT WRENCHING REUNION!

Niles and Giffen bring horror back to high school!

December 4th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - This February the creators behind 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and DC's 52, Steve Niles and Keith Giffen, team up with Image Comics/Shadowline for their newest creation, GUTWRENCHER.

"It's no secret I'm a big fan of horror." Niles said. "However, the ancient curse/serial killer sub-genre is one I haven't gotten to tackle just yet. Working with Keith is also something I've longed to do for a long time as well, so GUTWRENCHER was the perfect opportunity to tackle both creative desires."

GUTWRENCHER begins in rural New England, when a hiker is infected with an ancient curse just ten days before his high school reunion. If his soul is pure he will be able to resist its blood lust, if not nothing will be able to stop him! For the three issue mini-series, Niles and Giffen work with GRAVESLINGER's Shannon Eric Denton and respected RPG artist Anthony Hightower.

Shadowline President Jim Valentino said, "The combination of Steve Niles' unique twists on horror sensibilities and Keith Giffen's mastery of dynamic storytelling is something most people wouldn't have expected, but works flawlessly. Adding Shannon Denton and Anthony Hightower to the mix is resulting in one of my favorite horror books to come in years."

GUTWRENCHER #1 (DEC072050), a thirty-two page full-color mini-series for $3.50, will be available in stores February 13th.
