Jeff Lemire And Dustin Nguyen’s Crowbound #1 Sells Out To Secure A Second Printing

Another week, another sellout for Image Comics. This time it’s Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen‘s Crowbound #1, which only dropped this week. But as it’s at the distributor’s level, you may still be able to grab a copy yourself before a second printing lands later this month. If so, you may want to know what the series is all about:

“In Crowbound #1, readers meet Rose. She works in the Factory just like everyone else — a dark, sprawling monolithic structure that runs along the coast and cuts the world in two. All that’s left now are desolate settlements that exist in its shadow, made up of submerged villages, derelict woods, and deadly swamps. No one knows what’s left of the world on the other side …

But when Rose’s young daughter Ava is violently taken from their shanty town home a year before she is meant to join the workforce, Rose will come face-to-face with the surreal, harrowing forces outside the Factory’s walls.

Margaret Atwood‘s The Handmaid’s Tale meets Cormac McCarthy‘s The Road with echoes of Kill Bill and Pan’s Labyrinth when a noncompliant mother makes a dark pact with an ancient, violent Scarecrow Queen to stop a totalitarian government from taking her daughter.”

The Crowbound #1, second printing will also feature two by Nguyen. An all-new cover as well as a virgin variation on the debut issue’s cover, also by Nguyen, will be out on Wednesday, 30th September from Image Comics.
