Mark Millar and Tony Harris' superhero miniseries sells out upon release!

Is there any surprise that this sold out?  It has Mark Millar's name on it.  Tony Harris is no slouch either.  It was a nice read.  I always find it interesting when we get the "superheroes" in a "real world" setting.  Nothing against Image, but they don't have the marketing power of DC or Marvel.  So I would suggest you try to track down this issue to check it out for yourself.  You don't want to miss the boat on this one.  If your local comic store doesn't have any copies left, see if you can get them to order the second printing and hold a copy for you.

Within twenty four hours of release, Mark Millar and Tony Harris' WAR HEROES has sold out at a distribution level and a second printing is on the way to meet demand!

"Much like KICK ASS, the response to WAR HEROES has taken a lot of people by surprise," said Millar. "Stores all over are reporting sell outs and are reordering as many as possible, even as the initial supply is exhausted! Those fans from ULTIMATES are coming to WAR HEROES in droves so we're putting even more copies out there! Retailers are advised to order up as our initial printing had a substantial overprint and that clearly wasn't enough for the fans!"

With WAR HEROES, Millar and Harris have created a thematic sequel to their many works including CIVIL WAR, KICK ASS, EX MACHINA and especially THE ULTIMATES as a United States torn by terrorism gives its citizens the one thing they can use to fight back against a world gone mad - superpowers. The second printing will feature a new cover by Harris, spotlighting the super-powered nature of their soldiers of tomorrow.

WAR HEROES #1 second printing, a 32-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores this August.
