Ronin Island is Upped to 12 Issues

BOOM! Studios has announced that Ronin Island, from the team of writer Greg Pak and artist Giannis Milonogiannis, has earned a full series order of twelve issues due to the overwhelming early support from retailers and fans, which led to an immediate sell out of the debut issue.

Ronin Island, originally announced as a five issue limited series, invites readers to a secret island where, after a mysterious attack devastates a great swath of 19th century Japan, Korea, and China, survivors from all three lands find refuge and form a new society. The island has endured generations of strife by hiding away from the larger world, but that’s no longer an option when an army of mainland soldiers, led by General Sato, lands on their shores with a terrifying warning: their arrival heralds a deadly invasion of mutants, and brings with it an offer of safety that comes at a cost. 

Now, islanders Hana and Kenichi must not only fight for their survival against the mutant hordes but also for their freedom under the rule of this new army — which is difficult to do when they disagree on exactly who should be in charge and how best to save their people. 

As part of this full series order, Ronin Island #1 Second Printing Variant will arrive in comic shops on April 24th, featuring a new cover by Milonogiannis to meet demand from fans and retailers alike.

Additionally, in July, BOOM! Studios will release a comic shop exclusive Ronin Island Vol.1 Discover Now Edition collecting the first four issues of the acclaimed all-new series with an exclusive cover. This edition will be available exclusively to comic shops for five months before any other edition is made available.

Then in December, a standard edition of Ronin Island Vol. 1, featuring a different cover and including additional behind-the-scenes material, will be released to comic shops and bookstores worldwide, with the same MSRP of $14.99. While the standard edition will remain in print, Ronin Island Vol.1 Discover Now Edition will be strictly limited to its initial print run and never reprinted.
