Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña’s Escape #1 has sold out completely at the distributor level, prompting a big reprinting.
The latest stunning Image Comics debut comes from the duo behind Marvel’s Uncanny Avengers: Rick Remender (Deadly Class, The Seasons) and Daniel Acuña (Captain America, Black Panther). Their new foray comes in the form of Escape #1.
Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals, Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot. When his plane is shot out of the sky, he wakes up behind enemy lines — and forging unlikely alliances, it’s a race against time before his own side drop a bomb in the territory to end things once and for all.
In a recent announcement, Image has revealed that Escape #1 has endures an enormously successful release. It has sold out completely at distributor level, promoting a fast-track back to print.
“The blow out success of Escape is further proof that the industry is starving for innovation and big swing ideas made with heart, owned by the creators, with no corporate masters muddying the intention,” Remender said in a statement. “We couldn’t be prouder of the work and the wonderful reception is appreciated.”
Acuña added: “I’m incredibly happy we’ve sold out of Escape so quickly! Thank you so much to retailers and readers for your support! I’m absolutely convinced of the potential of our work, it is really a big push forward for both of us. I did a whole new cover for our second edition that I hope you all love!”
The Escape #1 reprinting lands in stores alongside issue #2 on September 24. Issue #3 releases on October 22, and the series concludes with issue #4 on November 26.
