Exquisite Corpses Goes Back into Reprint(s) 🎃
Issue #1 goes into third printing, Issue #2 goes into second printing!
Hola Lil’ Onions,
I apologize that this will be a fly by. The Tiny Onion Crew are about to have a mandatory four day weekend, but I couldn’t log out without telling you the wild and incredible news:
🎃👉 Exquisite Corpses #1 is going back to press for a third printing and Exquisite Corpses #2 is getting a second printing. 👈🎃
What does this mean?
It means you’re telling your friends about the series, which leads to more people going into their local comic shop and adding Exquisite Corpses to their pull, which leads to that shop selling out of their inventory and ordering more copies from Lunar, which led to lunar realizing they were sold out, which then led to Image telling us we need to do another print run, which ends with Michael Walsh at his desk, drawing a new cover and embellishing another. Then you did it again with issue #2. You told a friend you liked a series, and now a bunch of nerds get paid to make art. ‘Farm to table’, but in this case it’s Walsh’s drawing desk to your hands.
"I'm thrilled with the reaction to Exquisite Corpses. James, the 'Corpse Crew,' and I have put our blood, sweat and tears into this little comic book, and we are truly in love with the world and its characters. Thank you to everyone who has supported Exquisite Corpses so far. We can't wait for you to see what's coming." - Michael Walsh
In a more literal sense it means that Exquisite Corpses is doing really well and if you haven’t yet, you should pre-order it at your local Comic Shop. You have until this Monday to pre-order one of these cool reprint covers. We are also doing an Exquisite Corpses #2, second printing polybag (Lunar Code 0425IM898), but this one will be open order (we double/triple checked) so order it while you can!
Exquisite Corpses #1, third printing (Lunar Code 0425IM896), Exquisite Corpses #2, second printing (Lunar Code 0425IM897), and Exquisite Corpses #2, second printing polybag (Lunar Code 0425IM898) will all be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 30.
Let’s take a look at these reprint covers!
For the Exquisite Corpses #2 second printing (Lunar Code 0425IM897), Michael drew the 13 ruling families. Who’s your least favorite and why is it New York South Carolina?
For the Exquisite Corpses #1 third printing (Lunar Code 0425IM896), Michael embellished the second reprint cover, now in Exquisite Pink! We’ve joked that the more reprints we do, the bloodier this cover will get.
"The entire Corpse Crew has been blown away by the support from retailers and readers alike for the debut of Exquisite Corpses, as the deadly competition continues in Oak Valley, we want every reader to have the chance to catch up on all the mayhem. Thanks to each and every one of you who has spread the word to a friend (or enemy)!” — James Tynion IV
