First Look and PR: Fatale #2 Sells Out

Well it looks like Fatale #2 has sold out before being released. That is to say that Diamond has no more copies to sell comic stores, not that comic stores have no copies. I have to ask... are we reading the same book? I'm not crazy about it and other than the creators names, I don't see why this book would be selling out. Of course I thought Turf was terrible as well, so maybe I'm just the only one who sees this book for what it is... meh.

Here's the press release and preview:

FATALE, the critically lauded horror crime noir by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, continues its overwhelming popularity as its much-anticipated second issue has sold out at the distribution level before it is even in stores. FATALE #1 also sold out, despite a generous overprinting, and a second printing of that issue — which also has sold out — will be on the shelves on the same day that FATALE #2 hits shelves, February 1. FATALE #2 has also gone back to press, and its second printing will be in stores on February 22.

FATALE tells the story of Nicolas Lash, a modern-day reporter who stumbles on a secret that leads him down the darkest path imaginable… to a seductive woman named Jo. She’s been on the run since 1935, entangled with a mobster who may be a monstrous immortal demon. As the stories of all the doomed men who have encountered Jo rise to the surface, Lash realizes that he too is caught in a deadly web. In addition to a riveting epic that blends noir and horror, each issue of FATALE also includes an essay on the history of horror of by renowned literary historian Jess Nevins.
