Both Marvel and Image Comics this past week have announced numerous sell-outs and reprints. Check out below for the round-up of what you can expect.
Image Comics
Among the sell-outs, BBC chat-show host Jonathan Ross’ and Ian Churchill’s Revenge #1—which follows the vengeful and violent war path of Griffin Franks after enemies surgically remove his face—stirred up fans of grit and gore and was given an Adult rating by Comixology before selling-out instantly on New Comics Day. Its second printing can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148236 and will be available on 3/26.
Chip Zdarsky’s and Matt Fraction‘s runaway hit sex comedy, which reached critical acclaim early on and has been selling out repeatedly in the interim, continued its streak with Sex Criminals #1 selling out yet again. The issue is slated for its 6th printing and can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148237 and will be available on 3/26.
The first issue of Deadly Class, the action-packed series about teen assassins in the ’80s from Rick Remender and Wes Craig, has sold out instantly as well and is going into its third printing. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148238 and will hit the shelves on 3/26.
Also for Remender fans, Black Science#1 and #2, of the dimension-hopping science fiction hit series with art by Matteo Scalera, have both sold out and are going into third printings. Both can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JAN148239 and JAN148240 respectively and will be available on 3/26.

Andrew
Top Pick: Night of the Living Deadpool #1 (Marvel) – You had me at Cullen Bunn. The writer of Helheim penning a four-part zombie Deadpool miniseries is a no-brainer…literally.
Batman Li’l Gotham #10 (DC) – This digital-first series concluded last month after 24 issues, and it couldn’t have been more fantastic. Dustin Nguyen’s water colors in a child-friendly Gotham made for an exceptional run. I have them all on my iPad, and I STILL can’t wait for the trades.
Disney Kingdoms Seekers of the Weird #1 (Marvel) – I know, it’s a weird title, but I’d read about this series a while back and something makes me want to pick it up.
The X-Files: Conspiracy #1 (IDW) – If this is what I think it is, the Lone Gunmen are crossing over with Ghostbusters (and other familiar characters) in a short two-issue series. Yup.
Trade Pick:Ten Grand TP Vol 1 (Image) – I’ll be honest, I left when Templesmith left, but every issue he’s on is extraordinary, and this trade collects them all.
Brett
Top Pick: Miracleman #1 (Marvel) – Marvel reprints the classic series for a new generation to enjoy with all new material for folks to check out. I myself have never read the series (I think) so look forward to getting a chance to finally read what I’ve been told so much about.
Black Dynamite #1 (IDW Publishing) – Um, how can you not want to read a comic based on the cult movie?!
Curse #1 (BOOM! Studios) – A new horror series from BOOM! A man heads into the woods in hopes of picking up a bounty to save his son, but of course there’s a twist.
Indestructible #2 – I loved the first issue from Darby Pop Publishing which has an average guy is mistaken with having super powers. Some really good humor mixed with the usual super heroics.
Skyman #1 – A new series from Dark Horse and Joshua Hale Fialkov is part of the publisher’s reinvigorated super hero line. The first issue is a great kick off.
This January, Deadpool goes where no Deadpool has gone before – to the…dead? Marvel has released a first look atNight of the Living Deadpool #1 – from Cullen Bunn, the writer behind the trilogy of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Killustrated, and Deadpool Kills Deadpool and artist Ramon Rosanas!
After waking up from a pretty epic food coma, our hero finds himself in the middle of the zombie apocalypse! And Deadpool’s not the only one with a full belly – there’s plenty of brainless eating machines just looking for their next good meal! Nothing says “tasty meal” like a mutant who can re-grow his flesh!
Don’t miss one of Deadpool’s darkest tales yet…and not just because it’s in black and white! Can the Merc with the Mouth avoid becoming the Merc in their Mouths? Find out this January!
