Last week saw the release of new hit series Alienated from publisher BOOM! Studios. The series comes from the mind of writer Simon Spurrier (John Constantine: Hellblazer, Coda), artist Chris Wildgoose (Batgirl, Batman: Nightwalker), colorist André May, and letterer Jim Campbell and instantly sold out its first printing.
The publisher fast tracked a second printing of the book which is due to hit comic book stores on March 4 with news coming today that the second printing is already sold out at distributor level.
Now, BOOM! has announced that the premiere issue is going back to the printers once again for a third printing with new cover artwork by Wildgoose with colors by André May
Three teenagers, each an outcast in their own way, stumble upon an unearthly entity as it’s born. As they bond over this shared secret and the creature’s incredible abilities, it becomes clear to the teenagers that their cute little pet is a predator in the making—and it’s in need of prey. Guided by the best intentions at first, the teens’ decisions soon become corrupted by adolescent desires, small town jealousies, and internal rivalries, sending them into a catastrophic spiral of their own making.
“The outpouring of enthusiasm and excitement for this fresh new original series only continues to grow, so we are very proud to announce a third printing of ALIENATED #1 for all the fans out there,” said Filip Sablik, President, Publishing and Marketing, BOOM! Studios. “Make sure you don’t miss out on this Simon Spurrier and Chris Wildgoose original that weaves the best elements of science fiction and horror to bring this intriguing story to life in a captivating series!”
