The New Image book out this week, Surgeon X #1 has sold out and is going back for a second printing.
Images last book to see out on the day it came out, Seven to Eternity #1, ended up doing nicely on the secondary market by the weekend. Will need to watch closed sales on Surgeon X #1
Image Comics is pleased to announce that the highly anticipated new series by Sara Kenney, John Watkiss, and edited by industry legend Karen Berger, SURGEON X, launched to overwhelming critical acclaim and is being sent back to print in order to keep up with increasing customer demand.
SURGEON X explores a bleak future where a far-right British government, an antibiotic apocalypse, and a gruesome murder result in the birth of Surgeon X and her renegade practice. Extreme times call for extreme medicine.
Kenney, acclaimed documentary, factual drama, and animation filmmaker (Angels and Ghosts), master artist Watkiss (Sandman, Conan, Deadman) and Berger, award-winning and Vertigo-founding editor, have stitched together a unique, darkly comic medical thriller, which will horrify and delight in equal measure.
SURGEON X #1, 2nd printing (Diamond Code AUG168926) and SURGEON X #2 (Diamond Code AUG160672) will be available on Wednesday, October 26th. The final order cutoff for retailers is Monday, October 3rd.

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Nice! I ordered 4 for flipping.
Might want to make sure to reserve #2 and #3.They will most likely sell out also.
Im not sure if the quick flip is the way to go on this one.I expect the next few issues to be as good as the first.
Good idea. I will do so.
What I found interesting is how this is one of the first times I can think of where the big, “Name,” on the book being advertised was the editor (Karen Berger). She of course did amazing things with Vertigo and I’m not diminishing her abilities at all, I just find it interesting how the editor is the big name-draw with the book and wonder if we will see that with other editors on other books.
I feel the same. I mean, you can be a great editor but a lousy writer. You can be a great writer and a lousy editor. But to automatically claim someone is great at something when it’s their first time actually doing something I think is a little premature to be honest.
But I did read the first issue. I thoroughly enjoyed it, enough to likely pick up issue #2 to see where it’s going. I wouldn’t say it was mind blowing but it’s good.
Has anyone tried the app made for this comic that brings the comic to life? Think it’s a first of its kind.
Wow.A ton of behind the scenes material when using the app for the IPhone.Image did this with Faster than Light #1 also. I had no idea untill I read this thread.Thanks Alana.
Looks like I’m in the minority here but I didnt like it :/ Will be skipping the rest of this series.
I got one of these yesterday… the last one. The shop I went to today still had a few on the shelf.
