Recent hits from BOOM! that have warranted a reprint include “Day Men”, “Dead Letters”, and Allyssa Milano’s “Hacktivist”. “Hacktivist” may not have graced the Comics world with a second printing but both “Day Men” and “Dead Letters” have. BOOM! is on a roll with the incredible demand for their rapidly increasing catalog of stellar indie books and their very popular Cartoon Network titles. The latest book to get a 2nd print crown is “Evil Empire” #2 from Max Bemis @MaxBemis and Ransom Getty @RansomGetty. For the official word from BOOM! Studios read on below.
‘EVIL EMPIRE’ #2 GETS AN ENCORE,
GOES TO SECOND PRINTING
EVIL EMPIRE #2 2nd Print Cover by Andre De Freitas
May 9, 2014 – Los Angeles, CA – BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce that EVIL EMPIRE #2, the hit series from Say Anything lead singer Max Bemis (POLARITY) and artist Ransom Getty (Guarding the Globe) that follows the making of a corrupt, immoral society, has sold out at the distributor level. The publisher has rushed to a second printing.
Comic book fans should bear in mind that first printings of EVIL EMPIRE #2 may still be found at the local comic shop nearest you. Not sure where to find your nearest comic retailer? Use comicshoplocator.com or findacomicshop.com to find one!
“EVIL EMPIRE #2 reaching a second print is a special benchmark for a series that is garnering a ton of critical acclaim for us,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Max has created a charged and powerful story that asks the hard questions about morality and its place in politics. He gives us a view of how a society could crumble and how a true evil empire rises. What’s even more exciting? The story is barely getting started.”
In EVIL EMPIRE #2, the sands are shifting in America’s public consciousness. One action has torn the country apart in a debate over the meaning of right and wrong, and Reese is not about to stand by as the American people support the rantings of a mad man. But how far will people go to take a stand for what they believe in?
