PORTLAND, Ore. 07/02/2025 — New series News from the Fallout—by bestselling writer Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, Enfield Gang Massacre, Ultimate Wolverine) and fan-favorite artist Jeffrey Alan Love (The Last Battle at the End of the World, The Thousand Demon Tree)—has hit big with readers and sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics has fast-tracked the debut issue for reprint this week in order to keep up with demand.
“Working with Chris on News From The Fallout has been amazing, and having it published by Image is a dream come true,” said Love. “I don't know if there are words to describe the first issue selling out and the wonderful reception it has received other than thank you. Thank you to all the readers, retailers, comic shops, reviewers, and the comic pros who helped spread the word. I can't wait for you to see what we have in store for the rest of the series!"
Condon added: “I am so excited to know that News From The Fallout is connecting with readers as Jeffrey Alan Love and I had hoped it would. There's never a guarantee in this industry that something you're cooking up will find its target, but if you believe in the material—as we did here—you throw as hard and as fast as you can and wait to see where it hits. Well, it looks like we've hit our target, and we're so excited that the work that Jeff, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Michael Tivey, and myself have done has resulted in a second printing with a fantastic sister cover to Jeff's evocative first issue cover. Thank you to everyone who picked up an issue and listened to the NEWS."
A thrillingly dark sci-fi horror story unlike any before, News from the Fallout is set in 1962 Nevada after a nuclear bomb test goes awry unleashing a contaminate into the atmosphere that turns people rotten. Otis Fallows, a private in the U.S. Army who is present for the test and is the only known survivor, flees the secret army base in search of a safe haven—but does such a place exist?

“Equally gripping and atmospheric.” —GonkBonk
“Transports the reader into the era of '60s horror, feeling quintessential of genre stories from the period.” —Comics Bulletin
“One of the coolest-looking comic books in recent memory.” —Monkeys Fighting Robots
“A deliciously grim start… What makes this one special, though, is its overall design… Dialogue that deceives and gloomy character designs converge for an experience that finds a lot of despair mixed in with the intrigue surrounding the bomb test. And like most disasters, it’s impossible not to look at.”—Comics Beat

“There's a deep horror in the simplicity of News From The Fallout. With Jeffrey Alan Love's charcoal-black art and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou's chaotic lettering, this story of '60s nuclear intrigue from rising star Chris Condon hits hard. Don't hesitate—pre-order the first issue, open the bunker, and see what greets you…” —Scott Snyder, Absolute Batman, Wytches, American Vampire
