Marian Heretic, the upcoming BOOM! Studios series co-created by Tini Howard and Joe Jaro, has generated enough buzz to sell out at the distributor level before issue #1 even hits stores. Marian Heretic #1 goes on sale October 8, and The Beat can exclusively reveal that its second printing will be available on November 19 alongside issue #1.
Here’s the series synopsis:
Sister Marian is a witch hunter of the highest order, a Mother Superior, and a heretic guided by a Goddess the Church refuses to acknowledge. When the Holy Father brands her order blasphemers, Marian strikes a dark bargain to become their personal enforcer.
As she delivers murderous judgement night after night in the city of Vespers, she can feel her soul fracture…but what else can she do with the lives of her sisters at stake?
The issue #1 reprint will feature a new cover by series artist Jaro, seen below.
“We’re so thankful that Marian Heretic #1 has sold out,” said Josh Hayes, BOOM! Vice President of Consumer and Sales Marketing. “I mean sure, we used some of Tini’s hair and Joe’s old socks in the spell, but to have that work? Sure its heretical, but also really amazing.”
Marian Heretic debuts Wednesday, October 8 both digitally and at your local comic book shop. The series will be released monthly, with the second printing of issue #1 hitting shelves the same day as issue #2 on November 19.
