November 9,  2015 (Los Angeles, Calif.) - Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is pleased to announce that Welcome Back #2 has sold out at the distributor level as well, following the news that issue #1 has gone to a third print. The publisher has rushed to second printings to fill demand.

 

Welcome Back #2 second print ships with a recolored main cover by series artist Jonathan Brandon Sawyer and carries a retail price of $3.99 under Diamond Code SEP158743. Orders close on November 16th, and copies are anticipated to be in stores on December 2nd.

 

Writer Christopher Sebela and artists Jonathan Brandon Sawyer and Claire Roe explore the lives of reincarnated assassins in Welcome Back. Mali and Tessa have lived hundreds of different lives throughout time, caught up in an eternal cycle as they take part in a war so old that neither side remembers what they’re fighting for anymore. As Mali wakes up in her newest life, she suddenly becomes self-aware and starts to question everything, especially why she continues to fight. But elsewhere, Tessa is already on the hunt… In issue #2, as Tessa flies to America to continue hunting her target, Mali learns the ropes of being a soldier while the memories of hundreds of past lives weigh on her mind.
