“In our ongoing campaign to thank our top retail partners who continue to support DAY MEN, we are happy to send them advance copies of DAY MEN: PEN & INK #1 to show our gratitude,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief and DAY MEN creator Matt Gagnon. “We’re blown away by all the support we’ve seen from the retail community and our readers. It’s important to me to make sure that support goes both ways.”
In DAY MEN #3, war continues to rage throughout the vampire underground, as David Reid’s role as a Day Man for the Virgo family comes into question. And a game-changing secret is uncovered that could turn the tide of the war, but in whose favor? David will have to survive the day to find out.
