‘In Hell We Fight’ #1 Is Yet Another Image Comics To Get A Second Printing
by Olly MacNamee
Image Comics is having a busy week with sellouts left, right and centre and In Hell We Fight #1, the horror comedy from multiple Eisner-winning writer/letterer John Layman (Chew Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum) and Argentinian artist Jok is the latest book to sell out at the distributor level. And therefore getting a second printing.
Layman said of the sellout success:
“In Hell We Fight is a weird and weirdly funny project, as off-beat and strange as anything I’ve ever done. I’m delighted and gratified from the positive response we’ve gotten from readers and retailers. Thanks to everyone who picked up the book, the retailers who’ve supported it, and readers who’ve given it such good word of mouth.”
Jok added:
“In Hell We Fight contains great potential to tell stories anchored in emotion and relationships between characters, and I believe readers will get into it more and more. I couldn´t be more grateful to John Layman and Image for this huge opportunity, however, my appreciation also includes retailers, readers and reviewers for such a positive response. A big THANK YOU to you all.“
“Life in hell ain’t easy in In Hell We Fight. Demons try to torture you for all eternity. Monsters want to eat you. There’s a stunning lack of reliable indoor plumbing. And it’s almost impossible to get ice cream. At least until today when three condemned teens and their annoying tagalong demon frenemy embark on a daring scheme to hijack a demon lord’s delivery truck. What happens next will take them on an epic journey across the underworld in an infernal excursion of non-stop excitement, danger, and adventure.”
In Hell We Fight #1, second printing will be out on Wednesday, July 12th from Image Comics.
