ELK'S RUN: TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION DIGITAL RELEASE ON COMIXOLOGY BEGINNING 8/25

 
JOSHUA HALE FIALKOV AND NOEL TUAZON’S MUCH-DEMANDED CLASSIC OGN NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY

PORTLAND, Oregon, Aug. 20 2015 – Oni Press, Portland’s premier independent comic book publisher, announced today the weekly digital chapter release on ComiXology of the upcoming Elk’s Run: Tenth Anniversary Edition, by Joshua Hale Fialkov, Noel Tuazon and Scott Keating.  The 8-part weekly digital chapter release will begin August 25th and continue every week through October 13th, before the full physical release as a hardcover graphic novel on November 11th.
 
A vividly and viscerally illustrated tale of rural horror, Elk’s Run takes its place among the most chilling and affecting works of graphic fiction. The debut collaboration of Eisner, Harvey, and Emmy nominated writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and Harvey and Eisner nominated artist Noel Tuazon is back a decade later and even more relevant. Elk’s Run: Tenth Anniversary Edition will be a high-quality, gorgeous hardcover release of the landmark graphic novel. Before the physical release on November 11th, fans can enjoy the graphic novel in weekly installments via ComiXology. Oni Press is pleased to be able to bring this classic back and to give it the new readership it dearly deserves.
"In it's original publication, we never got to tell the whole story in a serialized format,” notes Fialkov. “It was always designed for that, and I think the work Noel and I did on it is a wholly different experience when read that way. I'm extremely grateful to Oni Press and to ComiXology for a chance to share that story with readers serialized weekly, and then, even better, we get a deluxe hardcover edition right afterwards in November.”
 
Elk’s Run is set in the small town of Elk’s Ridge, founded as a closed haven, dreamt up by Vietnam veterans looking to create a utopia: a home without violence, chaos, or corruption. And in the beginning, it seemed like it might actually work. However, years later, the town has become a powder keg. When a desperate bid for freedom results in the accidental death of a child, the town must decide what terrible acts they are willing to commit in order to preserve their way of life. And the youth of the sleepy town—those who never chose to live that life—must forsake all they know in order to stand up for what is right.

The hardcover physical release of Elk’s Run: Tenth Anniversary Edition can be pre-ordered now at comic shops with Diamond code JUL151481.
