&
THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK #1
SELL OUT!

SECOND PRINTINGS TO BE IN-STORES BY END OF APRIL



Unprecedented Re-orders From Direct Market Retailers
Find BOOM! KIDS titles Sold Out Even Before They Hit Stands!




March 25th, 2009, Los Angeles, CA - BOOM! Studios announced today that the premiere titles of their new BOOM! Kids imprint, THE INCREDIBLES: FAMILY MATTERS #1 and THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK #1, have sold out. Tremendous re-order activity just prior to both comics release ensured a sell out before either comic hit stands this Wednesday.

Fans should keep in mind, while distributor Diamond Comics are completely sold out, THE INCREDIBLES: FAMILY MATTERS #1 and THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK #1 may still be found at direct market retailers across the country.

Diamond Comics Distributors is making the second printings of THE INCREDIBLES: FAMILY MATTERS #1 and THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK #1 available for retailers to order immediately. THE INCREDIBLES: FAMILY MATTERS #1 second print (FEB098554) will reprint all covers A through D but this time feature a special recolored "Night Version" of the 4 interconnecting covers by Michael Avon Oeming. THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK #1 second print (FEB098555) features a brand new cover by Roger Langridge focusing on Kermit the Frog.

Second printings should hit store shelves by the end of April.

"I am giddy. I am thrilled. The fact that these books that everyone worked so hard on are finding a large audience is just really gratifying on all levels," said BOOM! KIDS editor Paul Morrissey. "On a personal note, I am happy for Waid, who wrote the perfect INCREDIBLES comic and Roger Langridge, who wrote the perfect MUPPET SHOW comic. Seriously, those guys make my job look easy."

"I've never seen anything like this. Sure, with the current economic climate, we are definitely printing more conservatively than years before, but even so, the velocity of late in the game re-order activity for these books have been totally out of this world," said Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher. "Those re-orders ate up all the leftover stock at Diamond and then some. Not in our wildest dreams could we predict that we would effectively be sold out the day before these books hit the stands. Once we saw what was happening, we went into overdrive to get second prints of both books rolling into Diamond."

BOOM! Studios announced the launch of their new imprint, "BOOM! Kids" earlier this week. BOOM! Kids serves as a child-appropriate home for BOOM!'s kid-friendly publishing content. The company's new imprint includes its own website, www.boom-kids.com.
