23 April 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - Early yesterday, Ivan Brandon and Nic Klein's all-new, full-color ongoing crime series for the 9th century, VIKING, debuted in a big way with a distribution-level pre-release sell-out weeks in advance, and nationwide reports of store sell-through!"I can barely believe any of it. The response to this book has been crazier than anything I've ever worked on," Ivan Brandon said. "Nic and I are completely... totally blown away by the kind of retailer support and subsequent reader reaction we've been seeing. We were knocked-out by the initial distribution-level sell-out, but the reports we've received of subsequent sell-through are completely unbelievable. I'm getting notes from Los Angeles, Chicago... people are selling-out all over.
Nic and I are trying to keep our heads down and work to make the rest of the series even better. Thanks so much to everyone involved for their support!"VIKING has received praise - not only for its thrilling storyline as well as its lush, full-color artwork, but also the high-end production values and oversized Golden Age dimensions - unlike any other title on the stands. Even with the prestige production values on the series, it will maintain a $2.99 price point and the level of painted, full color artwork Nic produces on a bi-monthly basis. For those missing out in the initial print run, a second printing will be made available this May with a second issue coming in June.
VIKING 2nd Ptg (FEB098570), a 24-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores May 6th, 2009. VIKING #2 (APR090396), also a 24-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in-stores June 13th, 2009.© C Harris Lynn, 2009
