Image Comics’ ‘Escape’ #2 And ‘Escape’ #3 Get Second Printings

Escape #2 and Escape #3 by writer Rick Remender and artist Daniel Acuña are the latest issues in this anthropomorphic wartime adventure series to get further printings after selling out at the distribution level. With the first issue already having been printed three times — so far — these subsequent issues now go back to the printers for a second run.

“The critical and reader response to Escape is a genuine thrill for us,” said Remender. “Daniel and I and the entire team thank you all for supporting big swing ideas and allowing us to chase our bliss creating new worlds.”

“Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals — think Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad — Escape is a gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath. It’s about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.

Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines — in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.

Now injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son — civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything … and everyone.”

Escape #2, second printing and Escape #3, second printing, are both out on Wednesday, November 26th.
