ADVENTURE TIME #1 Sells Out, Second Printing on the Way

The first issue sells out before hitting stores.

What time is it? It's time to get your butt to your local comic shop or get on the phone with them and let them know you want the first issue. ADVENTURE TIME #1 will be on sale Wednesday, February 8, but today, BOOM! Studios has announced the first issue is already sold out, eight days before hitting store shelves.

The good news is a second printing will be on the way.

No Caption Provided

There's more good news. Just because it's sold out with Diamond Comic Distributors, that doesn't mean you won't be able to get a copy next week. Unless all the copies your local comic shop ordered is already spoken for, you might be able to get a hold of a first printing next Wednesday.

The second printing will feature an all-new cover drawn by Chris Houghton and is available for retailers to order immediately.

ADVENTURE TIME #1 is the first installment of the exciting new ongoing ADVENTURE TIME series written by Ryan North (DINOSAUR COMICS) with cover art and interiors drawn by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb (THE MUPPET SHOW, ICE AGE: ICED IN) with a back-up story by Aaron Renier (THE UNSINKABLE WALKER BEAN) and alternate covers by Jeffrey Brown and Chris Houghton.

In this first issue of ADVENTURE TIME join Finn the Human, Jake the Dog, and Princess Bubblegum for all-new adventures through The Land of Ooo! The top-rated Cartoon Network show now has its own comic book! With the show exploding in the ratings, garnering rave online reviews, major cosplay at the San Diego Comic-Con, and huge displays dominating the New York Comic Con, it's clear fandom is obsessed and 2012 is the Year of Adventure Time! Don't miss out on the phenomenon!

And if you haven't already, check out our podcast with Ryan.

Such a great show. If the comic is even half as good it'll be worth picking up.

ugh why is this even selling. I really have a deep malcontent for this show/series. If I could i'd Superboy-prime punch the creator or do to him what Justice Lord's Superman did to president Luthor from the JLU cartoon

I think the show is really funny because of how random it is. Also, if you watch it a lot you will notice that most of the episodes have an adult aspect to them. An example is one where the guys find out how the Ice King was turned from a normal guy into what he is now....its really crazy and sad. But, hopefully i can grab a sneaky copy just for collections sake and maybe it will be as good as the show.

Well if a comic book is doing that well before it's even out, then mad props too it and I think that's a clear indication that it's going to be one to check out.

@Mr. Dead Pool: Thanks, I'm a month from 17 so I got a year before cartoons go from unorthodox and eccentric to offsetting and creepy, I have no idea what I'll do then :(

Well, I'm glad Boom has a lisenced series which might be able to replace the revenue produced by the Darkwing Duck franchise. Hope they can keep this up for however long this series will last.

I sort of wish it was Darkwing Duck, but c'est la vie!
