This series keeps selling out. Will it become a regular series? Should it?
Marvel is happy to announce that The Loners #3 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at the retail level). Writer C. B. Cebulski and artist Karl Moline’s innovative look at a group of “recovering” heroes is now three-for-three, with every issue of the acclaimed limited series selling out! The unique title, which spun out of the pages of Runaways, follows five young heroes who are seeking to give up their lives as heroes, and stop using their powers or abilities.
“A three-peat?!? Wow!” writer C.B. Cebulski ecstatically exclaimed. “I guess Marvel has a new ‘little book that could’ on its hands. As I’ve been a Marvel zombie pretty much since birth, being allowed to write a comic with some of my favorite Marvel B-listers was a dream come true. But nothing could have prepared me for the fan and retailer response of this level! “
The critics also agree that The Loners is a series for all superhero fans. “The art of Loners continues to be superb,” says Mattheaw McLean of SilverBulletComicBooks.com, “with excellent character representation and action sequences.”
“This series’ concept is a gem,” says ComiXtreme.com’s Scott Williams. “…If you’re not already on board, go seek out the first two issues to go with this one.”
Says Marvel's Senior Vice-President of Sales and Circulation David Gabriel, "we keep finding gems like these in our publishing schedule throughout the year. Series like Ares, Agents of Atlas, and now Loners. And just as you're now seeing a big rise in popularity for Ares, don't be surprised when you see a bigger push with the Loners characters and even the Agents of Atlas later in the year!"
With the Marvel’s break-out hit The Loners continuing to garner support from critics and fans alike (not to mention those three straight sell-outs), Marvel advises retailers to check their orders for future issues of this series. The Loners may not want to be heroes, but if Marvel fans get their way they may not have a choice!

This has been a fun comic. I'm glad it's doing well. I really like the concept and it's interesting to see these characters that have been in comic limbo resurface.
The Loners #2 Is A Runaway Hit!
Marvel is pleased to announce that The Loners #2, the new limited series spinning out of Runaways, has sold out at Diamond. Written by C.B Cebulski and penciled by Karl Moline, this series is now 2-for-2 with sell outs at the Diamond level. Featuring teen heroes who form a support group to deal with their lives as superheroes, The Loners has thrilled readers with its personal tales of tragedy, triumph and your favorite cult-classic Marvel heroes!
“It’s always a good morning when you wake up and open your e-mail to find news of a sell out… especially on a Thursday, the day after your book went on sale!” said Cebulski upon hearing of the sell out. “Wow! I could not be happier with fan and retailer reaction to Loners. With Jason Pearson’s eye-catching covers pulling people in, Karl Moline and Christina Strain’s amazing interior work seals the deal for fans of Marvel’s newest team of teen heroes!"
With more of The Loners being tempted to put their superhero costumes back on, and a certain member of Generation X making a huge impression on our heroes, upcoming issues of The Loners will be even more surprising! Marvel urges retailers to check their orders for upcoming issues of this hit series! Please note that Loners #2 may still be available at the retailer level.

Check it out if you haven't already. And with Penance returning, will she change her name now that Robbie Baldwin is running around with his crazy suit? Things don't look so good for Julie Power.

I like this book. The idea of a support group for former teenage superheroes is kinda neat. You also get to see "whatever happened to..." former heroes like Mattie Franklin (Spider-Woman III). The first issue wasn't spectacular but it has potential. I hope it goes beyond the mini-series.Marvel Comics is pleased to announce that Loners #1, the debut issue of writer C.B Cebulski and artist Karl Moline’s new limited series, has sold out at Diamond. Following the trials and tribulations of former teen heroes who seek support in removing themselves from superheroics, The Loners has drawn rave reviews from all corners.
“C.B. Cebulski does a brilliant job of humanizing these down-on-their-luck ex-crimefighters and making the concept his own,” said Ben Morse of WizardUnvierse.Com. “It’s definitely worth your $2.99.”
Richard George of IGN.Com raved that Loners, “is an absolutely fascinating and ambitious concept.”
“The Loners charmed me in a few short pages, and progressively grew on me as I read,” Troy Brownfield of Newsarama, adding, “a debut like this has a real future.”
Scott Williams of Comixtreme gushed, “This issue was a solid start to one of the most promising mini-series I can recently recall… I would love to see these characters continue in an ongoing series after this.”
The sentiment was echoed by Tobey Cook of SilverBulletComicBooks.Com, who said, “This book is a fantastic read.”
Please note that copies of The Loners #1 may be available at the retail level. There are no plans to go back to press at this time. Marvel advises retailers to check their orders for upcoming issue of this hit limited series that shows a decidedly different corner of the Marvel Universe.
