I told you most of the press releases I got toward the end of last week had to do with titles selling-out and this one is no exception. I guess I really missed the boat on collecting these Messiah CompleX X-over issues, but I'm okay with that; that's just how collecting goes, you know. I have gotten incredibly lucky and picked up some massive issues on a whim, and gotten incredibly unlucky when I've passed on titles I knew, in my head and heart, would one day be worth a small fortune. Still, I'm 33, and if selling my entire collection tomorrow meant I could buy my dream home, I really couldn't make that decision without some serious thought... pathetic, isn't it?
This is an official Marvel press release:
Marvel is pleased to announce that X-Factor #25, featuring Messiah CompleX Chapter 3, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). This marks the third straight sell out for the comic book event of the season, as Messiah CompleX has proven a hit with fans, retailers and critics alike. This third chapter, by acclaimed writer Peter David (She-Hulk) and artist Scot Eaton (X-Men: Endangered Species One-Shot), shows just how far the X-Men will go to ensure they find the new mutant!
To meet the demand for this issue, Marvel is going back to press with X-Factor #25 Second Printing Variant, featuring a new cover by Eaton!
"I'm growing more and more pleased with Messiah Complex each week," said Jesse Schedeen of IGN.Com after reading X-Factor #25.
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on X-Factor #25 Second Printing Variant and all upcoming Messiah CompleX chapters, as the first three issues of this event sold-out quickly and buzz continues to grow! Just where—or when—are Madrox & Layla? Will the X-Men be torn apart from within? And what do the Purifiers have planned? Find out in Messiah CompleX, the first major X-Men event in over ten years and don't miss these upcoming chapters!
