Erotic Thriller ‘Crave’ #1 Gets A Second Printing From Image Comics After Selling Out

by Olly MacNamee

Writer/artist Maria Llovet’s new erotic thriller series Crave, saw its debut issue sell out instantly at the distributor level this week, day-of-release. So, Image Comics have sent it back for a second printing.

CRAVE, a mysterious app that promises to make your desires come true, spreads among the students of an elite university who use it as a hookup app. David, a top student, engages in a game of seduction with the unattainable Alexandra. But as requests to the app escalate and wreak havoc on campus, David and his friends’ only chance to stop this spiral is to find out what really lies behind CRAVE.

Described as “Black Mirror meets Eyes Wide Shut by way of Pretty Little Liars” Crave #1 second printing will be available on Wednesday January 10th 2024 with the following covers:

  • Crave #1, second printing
  • Crave #1 Cover A by Llovet
  • Crave #1 Cover B by Llovet (“Lingerie” variant)

Here’s what Lovell had to say about the sell out success of the debut issue:

“I’m so thankful for the warm reception of CRAVE! Can’t thank readers and retailers enough for their support. This is a rush of positive energy and I’m going right back to work to channel it directly into my next page!!”

And here’s the preview of the first issue, in case you missed it:
