Sell-Outs for I Love Trouble, BlackAcre, and Great Pacific

Posted on by

BlackAcre #1, I Love Trouble #1, and Great Pacific #2 won’t hit stands until today, December 5, but all copies at the distributor are spoken for. Retailers ordered with expectations that the two debut issues will please customers and confidence that the follow-up issue will live up to the well-received Great Pacific #1, which also sold out and received a second printing.

BlackAcre, by Duffy Boudreau and Wendell Cavalcanti, is a dystopian science fiction series. It came out of the gate strong, with recommendations from comics luminaries Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker, and Matt Fraction.

Kel Symon‘s and Mark Robinson‘s I Love Trouble is a fun and introspective take on super powers.

Great Pacific, a hit with retailers, readers, and reviewers alike, is the story of a privileged young man who decides to make a difference in the world — by proclaiming the Great Pacific Garbage Patch a sovereign nation! Great Pacific #2, in addition to selling out early, has a coveted Phantom Variant cover that will be sold in limited quantities in select stores.

The second printings of BlackAcre #1 (OCT128301), I Love Trouble #1 (OCT128304), and Great Pacific #2 (OCT128303) will be in stores on January 9.

Superpowers = Super Problems in I Love Trouble

Posted on by

Felicia Castro, the protagonist of the new Image Comics series I Love Trouble by Kel Symons and Mark Robinson, debuting in December, doesn’t have much going for her. A New Orleans grifter on the run from a mobster, Felicia has to flee the Big Easy to hide out in the Midwest. Then her plane crashes.

Instead of it being the end for the Felicia, the crash turns out to be a new beginning. Felicia discovers she has the ability to teleport, a power she thinks will be an easy fix to all of her problems. But Felicia is someone who follows trouble, and her power opens up a whole new world of crime and exploitation.

Symons was a producer of The Dungeon Masters, a documentary about Dungeons and Dragons players, and also produced and directed the documentary Excavating the 2000-Year-Old Man. He was involved, as a development executive, in the film adaptation of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan noveI The Sum of All Fears. He also developed the feature films Sahara and Invictus. I Love Trouble is his first comic book series.

Robinson has been drawing comics professionally since 2001 and is best known for his work on the IDW series Storm Shadow and the Marvel series Hulk and Skrull Kill Krew.

I Love Trouble is a full-color, ongoing comic book series. Its first issue will be in stores on December 5 and is available for pre-order in the December issue of Previews.

Your First Look At HULK #27!

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Hulk #27! The critically acclaimed creative team of Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman team Red Hulk with Steve Rogers, Thor, and the brilliant Dr. Bruce Banner to put and end to the Intelligencia’s nefarious plans! Except in order to do so, Red Hulk must dive to the depths of the ocean and find an unlikely ally – the King of Atlantis, Namor!

Fans and agree – Hulk is a hit!

“There’s a little Bruce Banner in this issue, a little green Hulk, a little Steve Rogers, some A-Bomb/Rick Jones, Iron Man, and, of course, Red Hulk and General Thunderbolt Ross. Every one of these characters comes to life through Parker’s story.” Doug Zawisza, ComicBookResources.com

“…there’s something very pure about how this particular superhero comic book is being handled. All the parts work together in harmony, and there’s an intangible something that makes it all work, and I’m so glad I got on for the ride.” – Josh Flanagan, iFanboy.com

“Parker and Hardman give you everything you have come to expect from a book called Hulk. The story and characters draw you in, the art is immense and fulfilling and of course there is a lot of smashing!” – Matt McGloin, Cosmicbooknews.com

Can the heaviest hitters of the Marvel Universe put an end to the Leader and M.O.D.O.K.’s “Scorched Earth” plan to destroy the world? Will Namor be able to put aside his differences and team up with Thunderbolt Ross? Find out the answers to these questions and more this November in Hulk #27!
