BOOM! Studios has announced that Deathmatch #1, the highest launching original series from the company to date, has completely sold out at the distributor level and the publisher has rushed to a second printing.

Deathmatch, the newest original comic series from BOOM! Studios, is a dark, psychological deconstruction of the superhero genre by writer Paul Jenkins and artist Carlos Magno. The full debut issue of this series carries a cover price of just one dollar. Deathmatch #1 second print will be available for order from Diamond Comic Distributors the week of January 14th and in stores in early February.

Comic book fans should keep in mind first printings of Deathmatch #1 may still be found at the local comic shop nearest you.

Deathmatch is the superhero battle royale you can’t get from Marvel of DC! A powerful and mysterious supervillain has imprisoned the world’s greatest superheroes, forcing them to fight to the death until there is but one victor. It’s kill or be killed as we settle the score on all those hypothetical superhero match-ups in the ultimate Deathmatch.
