Red 5 Comics sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at Blood and Fire #1 by Aaron Wroblewski and Ezequiel Rubio Lancho.
Blood & Fire #1
(W) Aaron Wroblewski (A/CA) Ezequiel Rubio Lancho
In 16th Century Japan, after centuries of rule, the central government has lost control, plunging the country into a bloody civil war. As warlords seek power and territory, a lone samurai takes a stand against the chaos. But the price of peace will be blood and fire!
Now here’s an alert for you – Blood & Fire #1 is almost sold out before it even hits shelves. Let me explain. We print our books in South Korea in order to keep the cover price down, However, it means we have to send the books for printing 4 months before they are due at Diamond. That also means we have to guess how many to print before the book has even been listed in the Diamond catalog. If you print too many, you waste a lot of money and sit on hundreds of unsold copies. If you print too few, you can’t fulfill retailer orders. While we printed enough copies to fulfill the better than expected Diamond orders for Blood & Fire #1, it means we have very few extra copies for conventions, the web store, or Diamond re-orders.
Blood and Fire #1 arrives on May 29, 2024.
