Titan Comics has scored a definite hit with its Death Sentence six-issue limited series from Monty Nero and Mike Dowling – the second issue has sold out at distributor level.
The new creator owned series has completely sold out at Diamond Comics Distributors, with a second print, featuring a bold new cover, scheduled to drop on 11th December, and available to order from Diamonds Previews Plus issue #1101, item code SEP138356).
This follows the phenomenal first-day sell-out of Death Sentence #1 (see news story). The first issue has earned a second print, complete with a Midtown Comics variant, pushing the print run for the first issue to 13,200. The second printing of #1 is still available to order now (item code SEP138036) and is scheduled for release on Wednesday 20th November.
“It’s so thrilling to see Death Sentence become such a massive success – and so hot on the heels of the issue one sell-out,’ said Nick Landau, Titan publisher. “Many thanks from everyone here at Titan Comics to all the readers, reviewers and retailers that have gotten behind this great book.”
“I’m really excited to see Death Sentence doing so well,’ said Mike Dowling, series artist. “A big thanks to all our readers!’
This explosive new series poses the question – what would you do with superpowers – and six months to live? That’s the dilemma facing three people who’ve contracted the G+ Virus, through unprotected sex.
What can graphic designer Verity, failing indie guitarist Weasel and roguish media personality Monty do in the time they have left? Fade away – or go out in a blaze of glory?
