Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? #1 back to press
Boom! Studios has announced its adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? #1 has sold out at the distributor level, prompting Boom! to send the issue back to press.
DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? takes place in a world where San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War has killed millions, driving entire species to extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn’t afford one, companies built incredibly realistic fakes: horses, birds, cats, sheep… even humans. Rick Deckard is an officially sanctioned bounty hunter tasked to find six rogue androids — they’re machines, that not only look, sound, and think like humans, but are clever, and most of all, as dangerous as any human.
I had a chance to read this earlier this week, and was very impressed with what is going on with this issue. Boom! is trying to get the issue into retailer’s hands as soon as possible, although at this time it does not have an expected ship date.
Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia back to print
As you might have guessed, Marvel Comics has announced Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia has sold out at the distributor level (but may still be in your local store), prompting Marvel send the issue back to press.
Martial Law is declared in San Francisco to put an end the mutant rights riots and the Dark Avengers are sent to enforce it! Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia Second Printing Variant features the interior art of Silvestri on a stylish new cover!
The $3.99 reprint arrives August 5, 2009.
Wolverine #73 Back to Press
Marvel has announced Wolverine #73 has done so well at the distributor level, that the issue is completely sold out, and will be heading back to press.
In the second story, the fan favorite creative team of Daniel Way and Tommy Lee Edwards prepare for a shocking change by presenting the prelude to the all new ongoing Dark Wolverine! Logan makes his way back to San Francisco, but it isn’t his style to quietly sit around! Don’t miss the powerful interior art of Adam Kubert on the cover of this second printing variant!
The second printing with the variant cover, will arrive in stores on June 17, 2009, with a cover price of $2.99.
WonderCon: Obama Gives Smackdown to Osama
Erik Larsen continues his love for President Barack Obama by offering up an exclusive WonderCon cover to Savage Dragon #145.
“I had no idea what I was getting into, but the moment I finished the cover I told myself: ‘Erik, you just created the greatest comic book cover of all time’ and it turns out I was totally right,” Erik Larsen said in a prepared statement. “Lets face it, President Barack Obama punching out Osama Bin Laden with a huge American flag in one hand while Savage Dragon frees Lady Liberty from a Weapon of Mass Destruction is as good as it’s ever going to get.”
Despite Larsen’s humble nature, the WonderCon variant will no doubt be the greatest comic book cover ever printed, due in no short order to our nation’s 44th President kicking the ass of his greatest nemesis. The cover’s status is augmented by the fact a very limited run of 1000 will be made available and never reprinted. Fans wishing to purchase a copy can only do so by attending San Francisco’s WonderCon.
The variant can only be found at the Image Comics booth at WonderCon this weekend — and then presumably on eBay Monday morning for $500.
