A CONSUMING FEAR IN SEVERED

Hardcover collection of horror series out on April 11

Press release

In 1916, twelve-year-old Jack Garron’s boxcar-hopping adventure turns into a flight from a ravenous, razor-toothed man who haunts the shadows. SEVERED (FEB120457), the Image Comics series that captures all of our childhood fear, has been collected into a hardcover collection that will go on sale on April 11.

Eisner-Award-winner Scott Snyder (American Vampire) and Scott Tuft weave a tale that conjures up what they describe as "the deep fright that you have as a kid, the kind that takes your breath away, makes your spine tingle… A primal fear."

Saga #1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples Gets a Second Printing From Image

THE START OF AN EPIC SAGA SELLS OUT

SAGA #1 gets a second printing

It’s not surprising that with all the buzz surrounding this series, that the first issue would sell out before its release date. I’m expecting a few subsequent issues to do the same.

If you haven’t pre-ordered this series or were on the fence, I suggest you go down to your LCS on Wednesday March 14th and pick up a copy before they are all out of first printings. Better yet, give them a call and they’ll put it aside for you.

Press release

The first issue of SAGA, the new series from Image Comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, has sold out of its first printing ahead of its March 14th release date. The new science fiction series, which marks Vaughan’s return to comics after the end of Ex Machina in 2010 and the highest profile work Staples has done to date, has been widely anticpated since its announcement at the 2011 Comic-Con International convention.
