WAYWARD PRAISE GOES VIRAL
The second issue has sold out
and is being rushed to a second printing

The second issue of Jim Zub (SKULLKICKERS, Samurai Jack) and Steve Cummings' (Legends of the Dark Knight, Deadshot) ongoing supernatural adventure series WAYWARD resonates with readers in search of myth, monsters, and magic. The second issue has sold out completely and is fast-tracked for a second printing to meet demand. Fan praise for WAYWARD has lit up social media and gone viral.

In WAYWARD #2 Rori's uncanny senses lead her to a classmate with a dark secret... one he's willing to kill to keep hidden.

“Steve and I are ecstatic about the response so far to Wayward," said Zub. "This has been a dream project for both of us and knowing that the readership is engaged and growing helps us keep working hard.”
