Marvel Zombies HC Gets New Iron Man Cover!

Damn! I don't think I've ever heard of a hardcover going through six printings - especially one that just collects previously-published material! I remember Lone Wolf & Cub #1 went through something like 17 printings or around there, but aside from that, most comics do not go through more than two printings, at best. And a hardcover? It just doesn't happen. Well, according to this official Marvel press release, it does:

The Marvel Zombies phenomenon continues to grow, as the sold-out hardcover collection of the Marvel Zombies limited series returns with a brand new cover by Arthur Suydam! Featuring an homage to the classic “Demon In A Bottle” storyline, Marvel Zombies HC Iron Man Cover marks the unprecedented sixth printing of the Marvel Zombies HC, continuing the tradition of bold new covers for each printing! Written by Spike TV Scream Award-winning team of fan favorite writer Robert Kirkman (Ultimate X-Men) and Eisner award-winning artist Sean Phillips (Criminal), Marvel Zombies presents a horrifying view of the near future where Marvel’s heroes and villains become zombies. Just what happens when Earth’s Mightiest become Earth’s Hungriest? Collecting Marvel Zombies #1-5, this is the collection that’ll have you saying “Mmmm…Marvel.”

Retailers continue to report strong, steady sales on the Marvel Zombies HC. Mike Malve, owner of Atomic Comics, gushed, “It’s a testament to contents of this series that this collection is going to yet another printing edition! Not only do people new to the series get to have the opportunity to grab this book for themselves, be we are treated to another Suydam classic cover!”

"Pardon the pun, but this book is a monster!” said Andy Eaton. COO of online retailer TalesOfWonder.Com. “The Mary Jane cover continues to be a popular title for us. Of course, with the movie on the way, Iron Man is an excellent choice for the next cover."

Marvel urges their retailers to check their orders on Marvel Zombies HC Iron Man Cover, as the other five printings of this hardcover have all debuted in Diamond’s top ten list. Take a bite out of the phenomenon that’s going strong and delivers the perfect macronutrient balanced collection with the Marvel Zombies HC Iron Man Cover!
