Red Roots Sells Out Again and Heads Back to Print

Posted on by

Red Roots by artist and writer Lorenzo de Felici has sold out yet again at the distributor level. Image Comics will fast-track Red Roots #2 back to print in order to keep up with escalating demand.

In Red Roots, the lives of a professional killer and a high school teacher are bound by a terrifying, mysterious force.

De Felici rose to prominence with the launch of Oblivion Song—his co-creation with Robert Kirkman—and his subsequent success as the artist on the tentpole Energon Universe title, also with Kirkman, Void Rivals. De Felici and Kirkman’s creative alchemy set the Energon Universe on a path to sales-chart-domination and Void Rivals in-and-of-itself went on to become one of the biggest launches of 2024. It is currently on its 12th reprint with no signs of slowing down in momentum. This recent breakout success makes Felici’s upcoming solo series one of the most exciting new developments in comics of the year.

Red Roots #2, second printing (Lunar Code 0526IM8455) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 8.
