REVENGE #1, SEX CRIMINALS #1, DEADLY CLASS #1, BLACK SCIENCE #1, AND BLACK SCIENCE #2 ALL SELL OUT INSTANTLY

All five issues are slated for more printings to meet customer demands

Five hotly-anticipated issues from hit Image Comics series simultaneously sold out and are all getting more printings to meet customer demand.   Among the sell-outs, BBC chat-show host Jonathan Ross’ and Ian Churchill’s REVENGE #1—which follows the vengeful and violent war path of Griffin Franks after enemies surgically remove his face—stirred up fans of grit and gore and was given an Adult rating by Comixology before selling-out instantly on New Comics Day. Its second printing can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148236 and will be available on 3/26.    Chip Zdarsky’s and Matt Fraction's runaway hit sex comedy, which reached critical acclaim early on and has been selling out repeatedly in the interim, continued its streak with SEX CRIMINALS #1 selling out yet again. The issue is slated for its 6th printing and can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148237 and will be available on 3/26.   The first issue of DEADLY CLASS, the action-packed series about teen assassins in the '80s from Rick Remender and Wes Craig, has sold out instantly as well and is going into its third printing. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148238 and will hit the shelves on 3/26.    Also for Remender fans, BLACK SCIENCE #1 and #2, of the dimension-hopping science fiction hit series with art by Matteo Scalera, have both sold out and are going into third printings. Both can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148239 and JAN148240 respectively and will be available on 3/26.   REVENGE #1, SEX CRIMINALS #1, DEADLY CLASS #1, BLACK SCIENCE #1, AND BLACK SCIENCE #2 have completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in comic stores. They are currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) and the official Image Comics iOS app, as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play, with the exception of SEX CRIMINALS #1 which is not available on iOS platforms.
