Strange to quote the 'detailed and clean' comment on the cover. It's not what I'd call high praise.

I know, right? Is that the best quote they could dredge up?

You know a title is desperate for good reviews when they quote CV on the promo art.

Glad to hear Avengers A.I. has been successful enough to go to a second printing. I would not have guessed.

yes have both but dont get why a 2nd printing for either issues. a.i. is in the middle of a storyarc and savage wolverine is on its 14th issue, was there some major promotions of these issues that i missed?

They had the big #1 printed in the corner to say it would be a good jumping on point.

I picked up the first issue of Avengers A.I. when it first came out because I wanted to start at the beginning of a Marvel series. So glad I did. I really love it.

Loved the recent Savage Wolverine issue.

I was thinking about getting it, but saw that the art had some horrendous parts. so ill wait.

The art was generally good IMO. Richard Isanove's still got it.

Ill see if the store still has one, but i say a few panels on here, and they had like deformed faces, lol

I haven't read any of these, though I've heard only good things about both, but to me this announcement sounds more like creating a fake demand just to increase speculation and sales (obviously) just to compete with the bombs dropped yesterday by Image.

Anyway, congrats to CV for both quotes!

A second printing just means that they sold more than expected, not that they sold well. The November issues of these titles only sold 30k and 20k respectively—that latter of which is on Marvel's cancellation threshold—so I doubt these latest issues would have sold any higher than that.

Avengers A.I. has been a genuine surprise. I'm holding out for a hardcover treatment in the future, like in the vein of Hawkeye or Superior Spider-Man.
