In an interesting twist of fate… I finished up the first script for the next 30 Days of Night mini-series. I can’t say anything about it yet, but I’m having a blast. Unlike with Dead Space, I’m going solo on this one. No Steve Niles to hold my hand, which is a huge experiment as there hasn’t been any 30 Days book without Niles on it. Even Bloodsucker Tales, which had a story by Matt Fraction, also had a story by Niles. Unlike doing a run on Spider-Man or Batman… both of which I would love to work on… There haven’t been a handful of different people making their mark on the series. So there is a tad bit of pressure on this one.
Well, here I am sending in the first script and I get this press release:
IDW SELLS OUT!
Swallow Book Two Among Many Sold-Out IDW Publishing Titles
What do a reborn title, Clive Barker’s latest, some transforming beasts, an art bonanza from Ash Wood and friends, and a couple vampire tales have in common? They’re all among the latest IDW Publishing titles to completely sell out through Diamond. In addition to the sell-outs IDW recently experienced with SUPERMARKET #’s 1 & 2, the company announced today that the following books are also sold out through Diamond:
• 30 DAYS OF NIGHT: DEAD SPACE # 1 & 2
• ANGEL: OLD FRIENDS # 2 & 3
• CLIVE BARKER’S THE GREAT & SECRET SHOW #1
• FALLEN ANGEL # 1, 2, & 3
• SWALLOW BOOK TWO
• TRANSFORMERS: BEAST WARS #2
• UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION
“It’s great to see quality books met with such positive performance,” said IDW’s Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall. “We print significantly more copies than the initial orders we receive from Diamond. When we set a print run for a book, we try to print enough copies so that retailers will be able to re-order the books through the run of the series. These sell-outs caught us by a surprise, and signal a nice upturn for the industry in general. I also hope these numerous sell-outs encourage retailers to similarly recognize the demand for IDW’s books and order accordingly. As much as I love to see a title sell out, I like even more for anyone who wants an IDW comic to be able to easily find it.”
SWALLOW BOOK TWO will receive a second printing, along with a new cover from artist Ashley Wood. Retailers can order the second printing with item code # FEB06 806. The second print is due to arrive in stores on May 17, the same day the second printings of SUPERMARKET arrive.
Okay, so most of that news was about other titles… but the first two issues of Dead Space have sold out and that means a lot to me. Not just from the standpoint of the book doing well; but also so that it’s a profitable book for IDW. Now I need to keep up these numbers.
