The release
of the first issue of a new arc of the Eisner Award-winning series SAGA by
Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples is fast approaching cultural event status,
driving thousands to comic stores this past Wednesday to purchase SAGA #13.
Image Comics is proud to announce that SAGA #13 has sold out at the distributor
level and will be going back to press immediately.
Adding to
the excitement, the latest installment of the worldwide phenomenon THE WALKING
DEAD #113 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard has also sold out, as well as
Image’s newest hit series, EAST OF WEST #5 from Jonathan Hickman and Nick
Dragotta. These sell-outs mark a banner week in a year full of milestones and
accomplishments for each of these series and creator-owned comics as a whole.
Happy fans
and retailers across the nation, perfect scores, and rave reviews make this
week's sell-outs the biggest comics event of the week. Hickman, Dragotta,
Vaughan, Staples, Kirkman, and Adlard have hit on something that strikes a
nerve with comics readers, and the sell-outs prove that they've captured the
imagination of the fanbase.
Retailers
may still have copies on their shelves, so fans are encouraged to contact their
retailer to get a copy before they sell out at the retailer level. All three
titles are available digitally on the Image Comics website and on iOS platforms
through Comixology.
