Wolf-Man astounds again

By M&C News Oct 3, 2007, 21:08 GMT

Jason Howard and Robert Kirkman's Astounding Wolf-Man has once again sold out at the distributor level soon after its September 26th release and is returning with an all-new cover by Ryan Ottley and Kelsey Shannon.

"I can't be any happier with the overwhelmingly positive reaction from fans and retailers alike," series writer Robert Kirkman said.  "From the moment issue one hit the stands everyone has been very enthusiastic for the book. Launching a new superhero title is never easy so Jason and I highly appreciate the continued support."

Since its Free Comic Book Debut, Wolf-Man's subsequent issues have both sold out. While issue two's new printing featured a new cover by series artist Jason Howard, Kirkman thought he would turn to two old friends to contribute a gripping image of the titular hero.

Kirkman said, "With Jason plowing away at the next issue of Wolf-Man I thought it would be a real treat for the fans to see Invincible artist Ryan Ottley's take on our new hero. We even recruited the talents of Bastard Samurai's Kelsey Shannon to pretty up the image. They really knocked it out of the park. I think fans will be very pleased."

Astounding Wolf-Man #3 2nd printing (JUL078246), a 32-page full color comic with an all-new cover by Ryan Ottley and Kelsey Shannon, will be released in stores in October. In addition, Astounding Wolf-Man #2 2nd printing (MAY078228) is currently available for reorder.
