Check out some of the announced sell-outs and new printings from this past week.

Alterna Comics

Horror reigns supreme this time of year and the latest offerings from Alterna Comics are no exception. The epic medieval zombie anthology, FUBAR: By the Sword, has sold out at the distribution level upon its release in stores last week. Death row psychological horror thriller, The Chair, sold out of its blank cover introduction issue for a second time since it’s release at the end of September. Copies may still be available in stores & online and Alterna is currently scrambling to fill reorders.

Clocking in at almost 300 pages, FUBAR: By the Sword, is the latest addition to the FUBAR franchise created by Jeff McComsey. From the castles of medieval England to the unstoppable armies of Genghis Khan, these 25 tales of zombie-stabbing action traverse the histories of the ancient world before the machinery of modern combat was perfected. These were brutal times when you either LIVED by the sword or DIED by the horde!

Gearing up for an upcoming film release in 2016, The Chair, is one of Alterna’s flagship titles and had an initial release in 2008. The popular blank cover variant features the first two chapters of the graphic novel. Richard Sullivan has spent the past ten years as an innocent man on death row. Witnessing savage killings at the hands of the prison’s sadistic and psychotic Warden, Sullivan decides that in order to survive he must match the brutality occurring in the prison. But as he fights to escape his fate, Sullivan is forced to question his sanity and confront his own horrific past. The film based on The Chair graphic novel will feature an ensemble cast starring: Roddy Piper (in one of his last film roles), Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Noah Hathaway (Neverending Story), Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story), Bill Oberst Jr. (Criminal Minds), Ezra Buzzington (The Hills Have Eyes), Timothy Muskatell (Deadgirl).
