There are a lot of issues that are selling out lately, meaning a) publishers are running fewer then normal print runs, or b) there is an increase in the number of readers.  The latest sell out issue comes from Zenescope Entertainment, who dropped off a press release to let us know Salem’s Daughter #0 sold out through Diamond.

Salem’s Daughter is described by Zenescope as Buffy meets X-Files set in a stylistic version of 19th century America. The story follows lead character Anna Williams, a beautiful descendant of a lineage of witches, who is just beginning to realize her own mysterious powers as she attempts to vanquish a variety of supernatural beings that aren’t of this world.

The company didn’t say if it would be going back to press, but it did say it has copies on hand if stores wish to place an order. The first issue arrives June #1, 2009.

Take the jump to check out the Greg Horn cover.

Superman: Flyby with Brendan Fraser

Posted on by

Can you believe Brendan Fraser could have been Superman, and that Lex Luthor might have been a Fox Mulder type character working for the CIA?  That’s how the story would have played out if J.J. Abrams had his way with Superman: Flyby that was in production from 2002 – 2004.

On Earth, Lex Luthor is a CIA Agent who specializes in X-Files-type cases, Clark meets Lois Lane before she’s a reporter, and the super suit is actually a living liquid contraption that sucks Clark Kent into it. Of course Kata-Zor finds Clark and sends his own son Ty-Zor to Earth to murder the son of his brother. In a surprising twist, Supes dies but his father (also dead) brings him back to life to defeat his cousin and his gang of Kryptonians. But wait, that’s not it — it turns out Lex Luthor is also a Kryptonian and now they have to fight, ending in a massive cliff hanger.

I find this stuff simply fascinating.  After the discussion we had on the last Major Spoilers Podcast (the Piccolo incident, I want to discover more and more of these strange and bizarre tales to share with my fellow Major Spoilerites.
