A VICIOUS CIRCLE #1 SELLS OUT AND RETURNS WITH SECOND PRINTING
Discover a Prestige Graphic Storytelling Event From the Highly Acclaimed Creators in May 2023
BOOM! Studios revealed today that A VICIOUS CIRCLE #1, the first issue in a prestige 3-issue original series from iconic artist Lee Bermejo (Batman: Damned, Joker), acclaimed author and one of the screenwriters behind the upcoming The Batman sequel, Mattson Tomlin, and letterer Becca Carey (Angel), has sold out at the distributor level!
Shawn Thacker is a trained assassin from the future who seeks revenge on the only other man with his affliction—each life they take forces them both to involuntarily travel between vastly different past and future eras. Spanning from 22nd century Tokyo to 1950s New Orleans to the Cretaceous Era and beyond, the two mortal rivals are locked in a battle of wills that spans millions of years, all to alter the course of history.
With each time period, legendary artist Lee Bermejo adjusts his artistic style to pay homage to luminary comics artists and historical master painters, presented in a prestige, oversized format!
In response to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios has announced A VICIOUS CIRCLE #1 SECOND PRINTING, featuring brand new cover art by highly acclaimed artist Andrea Sorrentino (Gideon Falls), available in stores May 3, 2023.
“There’s perhaps nothing more fitting for a time travel story than announcing another printing!” said Filip Sablik, President, Publishing & Sales, BOOM! Studios. “With A VICIOUS CIRCLE, Tomlin, Bermejo, and Carey have created an absolute blockbuster graphic storytelling event, which is still onboarding new fans and one which they will want to read and re-read for years to come!”
