The Miracles’ debut astonishes with a second printing

Posted on by Leave a comment

With fan interest increasing, CEX Publishing has announced that they are rushing a second printing of the premiere issue of The Miracles by Joseph Glass and Vince Underwood in order to meet demand. The release of this new printing will coincide with the first printing to ensure that all fans can find their copy when they hit store shelves this October 25th.

The Miracles tells the story of a family of superheroes and an astonishing secret they keep, all with a meta twist that you have to read to believe. Quantities of this second printing are limited, so be sure to let your favorite retailer or specialty shop know before they are gone.

This 56-page double-sized introduction issue sees high school senior Elliot Morgan discovering he has superhuman abilities, and as any comic fan would do, he immediately adopts the role of a superhero.

Retailers, remember that orders are due September 18, 2023, quantities are limited so allocations may occur.
