Image Comics’ 27 #1 sells out at the distribution level
Will Garland may not survive to see his 28th birthday, but he can go knowing that he’s a star if the sellout of the first issue of Image Comics and Shadowline’s 27 is any indication!

Because of high demand, 27 #1 is already sold out at the distribution level, so Image Comics is taking the book back to press. The second printing of 27 #1 will be in stores January 5, 2011, the same day as the second issue.

27 is a four-issue series is written by Charles Soule (Strongman) and drawn by Renzo Podesta (Hard Drive, Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom) with covers by W. Scott Forbes (FORGETLESS). The book comes in the larger Golden Age format.

“The response to 27 has been amazing,” exclaims Soule. “On behalf of the entire creative team, thank you to everyone who ordered the book, and thank you to everyone who has helped generate buzz for the book. It’s been a blast so far, and we’re just getting started!”

Shadowline Publisher Jim Valentino adds, “Charles and Renzo have done brilliant work on 27, and it deserves all the praise and attention it gets!”

In 27, the “27 Club” admits only the most brilliant musicians and artists — and kills them dead in their 27th year. Will Garland is a famous rock guitarist, secretly unable to play for months due to a neurological disorder afflicting his left hand. He’s also 27. With mad scientists, long dead rock legends and cosmic entities in his way, can he make it to 28?

27 #1 (of 4) Second Printing (OCT108111), a 32-page full-color comic book in the Golden Age format, will be in stores January 5, 2011, alongside 27 #2 (OCT100505).
