Image Comics is thrilled to announce that the second issue of THE REALM, from Seth M. Peck, Jeremy Haun, Nick Filardi, and Thomas Mauer, is being rushed back to print in order to keep up with customer demand.
In THE REALM, our world has been overrun by creatures of myth: orcs, dragons, and countless other horrors. The remaining humans survive in an uneasy equilibrium, fighting tooth and nail to keep hold of what they have left.
“We’re absolutely blown away by the response to THE REALM,” said artist Jeremy Haun. “This is exactly the book I’ve been building to my entire comics career. We’ve got epic plans for this series. We’re about to take you on one hell of a ride.”
THE REALM #2 is sold out at Diamond but can still be picked up here.
THE REALM #2, 2nd printing (Diamond code: SEP178185), as well as THE REALM #3, Cover A by series artists Haun and Filardi (Diamond code: SEP170760) and Cover B by Kelley Jones and Michelle Madsen (Diamond code: SEP170761), will arrive in comic book shops Wednesday, November 15th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, October 23rd.
Select praise for THE REALM:
“THE REALM mixes genuine nostalgic affection for the fantasy genre with an ingenious twist. Pure escapism and pure comics by pros at the top of their games.” —Tim Seeley (REVIVAL, Nightwing)
“THE REALM is like Dungeons & Dragons colliding with a really great post-apocalyptic survival story. A fun genre mash-up!” —Jeff Lemire (ROYAL CITY, A.D.: AFTER DEATH)
“An awesome blend of fantasy and dystopia. It’s THE WALKING DEAD meets EAST OF WEST with a dash of Lord of the Rings thrown in.” —Horror Talk
“Action-packed and heading somewhere compelling. And the art by Haun and Filardi is immensely successful in setting the mood: creative, beautiful renderings of an ugly situation and a world that’s seen better days.” —Geek Magazine
“Writer Seth Peck and artist Jeremy Haun imbue fantasy with the survivalist rigor of Cormac McCarthy (The Road) or Stand-era Stephen King, with threads that straddle human need with intoxicating supernaturalism.” —Paste Magazine
“Post-apocalypse meets high fantasy in this surprisingly fun romp of a book from Seth Peck and Jeremy Haun.” —Uproxx
Not quite sure that is accurate. It is true it is going in for a second print, but it is not sold out. Diamond is still showing all three covers as order-able as of 11:33pm on Saturday night.
Maybe it’s Image with wishful thinking ahead of selling out.. 😉
The book is living up to the hype and the variants are selling like funnel cake. The secret variant and the tour variant have low print runs as well. I saw one buy it now for over 300. It’s getting insane…..money to be had for sure.
