Hi Everyone—meant to post this on Wed but the day got away from me as it was the big launch day for INDIGO CHILDREN. And then this happened.
What does this mean? It means the book sold out at the distributor level and that we are rushing out a second print of the first issue to launch the same day as issue two, on April 26th.
Most places online are sold out but your local comic shop still might have a first printing in stock, though. If you call them / reach out they can put it aside for you.
Like everything in the world of comics it’s a bit confusing, so hopefully that helps.
Obviously this is a huge win for us and I just want to take a moment and thank each and every person who has checked the book out and taken love to show us love on social media or review the book. This is the biggest response I’ve ever had to anything and I’m honestly still processing this a bit, but it’s the result of a lot of hard work and elbow grease from the creative team and behind the scenes.
WITH THAT SAID…
There’s some important dates coming up for the book.
Monday (4/3) is the last day to pre-order both #1 SECOND PRINTING as well as ISSUE TWO. Why does this matter? Simply put this helps determine how much runway we have to tell the epic story we’ve been cooking.
Here’s the second printing cover by Alex and Dee.
And here’s our Covers for Issue two. The A cover by Alex and the 1/10 variant by superstar artist and pal Martin Simmonds. There’s also a 1/25 version of Martin’s cover that’s a Virgin Variant. (Most of this will be noise if you’re not a collector, but we appreciate our collectors too)
And lastly here’s a look at some of the story pages from the issue. Some really cool stuff going on in this one. Here’s the opening sequence.
Again if you dug the book please consider letting your shop know by Tomorrow if you want issue two / to subscribe to the series. Here’s the order codes:
Indigo Children #1, second printing - Diamond Code FEB238821
Indigo Children #2 Cover A by Diotto & Cunniffe - Diamond Code FEB230186
Indigo Children #2 Cover B 1:10 copy incentive by Martin Simmonds - Diamond Code FEB230187
Indigo Children #2 Cover C 1:25 copy incentive by Martin Simmonds - Diamond Code FEB230188
All right that’s my cue to log off and force myself to take a Sunday off here. We’ve a big week ahead - talking with some friends about a hugely ambitious new idea, and beginning work on adapting one of my comics with a great director.
Talk soon and be well.
