MORNING BREAKS AGAIN
MORNING GLORIES #1 Second Printing sells out at the distribution level on day of release
IGN calls MORNING GLORIES #1 "one of the most engrossing first issues in recent memory," and the same-day sell out of the second printing only proves their point!
Image Comics is rushing to press a third printing of MORNING GLORIES #1, written by Nick Spencer and drawn by Joe Eisma with covers by Rodin Esquejo. The third printing of MORNING GLORIES #1 will be available the same day as issue #2, September 15.
"We did it again, I can't believe it!" says Spencer. "Thank you to the fans, to Joe and Rodin for their wonderful work on the book, and thanks to Shadowline and Image for their support of the book. I can't wait until everyone gets to see more!"
MORNING GLORIES: Morning Glory Academy is one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country. But behind its hallowed doors, something sinister and deadly lurks. When six brilliant but troubled new students arrive, they find themselves trapped and desperately seeking answers in a place where nothing is what it seems to be!
MORNING GLORIES #1 Third Printing (JUL108157), a 44-page full-color comic book for $3.99, will be available September 15, 2010, the same days at MORNING GLORIES #2 (JUL100450).

BURNING OUT AND FADING AWAY
A rockstar tries to survive his talent in 27, a new miniseries from Image Comics
Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Morrison. All died at age 27. In 27, and all-new miniseries from Image Comics and Shadowline, a gifted rock musician fights to make it to his 28th birthday.
This four-issue series is written by Charles Soule (Strongman), drawn by the brilliant Renzo Podesta (Hard Drive, Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom), and features gorgeous covers by W. Scott Forbes (FORGETLESS). It will be published in the larger Golden Age format.
In 27, the "27 Club" admits only the most brilliant musicians and artists -- and kills them dead in their 27th year. Will Garland is a famous rock guitarist, secretly unable to play for months due to a neurological disorder afflicting his left hand. He's also 27. With mad scientists, long dead rock legends and cosmic entities in his way, can he make it to 28?
27 #1 (of 4), a 32-page full-color comic book in the Golden Age format, will be in stores November 10, 2010.
