STARKWEATHER #1 Sold Out at Arcana Studio and Diamond Comic Distributors

Starkweather #1 has left the building!

David Rodriguez and John Bosco’s Starkweather has joined the ranks of Arcana Studio’s smash hits by debuting with a sold out first issue BEFORE it even hit the stands! Arcana overprinted the premier issue of this supernatural action/adventure by 30% beyond Diamond’s initial purchase order, yet the book still sold out a week prior to our friends at the retail locations receiving it! (*)

"The response to Starkweather has exceeded my expectations,” Starkweather creator David Rodriguez stated, “From our sell out response at Wizard World Chicago to the great feedback from retailer signings, I've just been having the time of my life. Seeing Starkweather on the shelf at the comic shop was a huge accomplishment for me, and I'm hoping that people continue the series. It's my personal feeling that issue 2 is where the reader can really dig into the characters and story and John's art starts to take off as he grows more comfortable with the characters. So thank you to everyone for making my first issue a wonderful experience for me, my family, and the Starkweather team!"

Starkweather is the story of Alexander Starkweather, a minimum-wager turned all-powerful witch who will do his best to save the world… right after he figures out how!

Arcana Studio is extremely grateful to the retailers and fans for giving an unknown action/adventure concept like Starkweather such a warm welcome! Thank you for your support!

Also currently available from Arcana Studio through Diamond Comic Distributor, FM International, Cold Cuts and Bulldog:

- ANT #4 (40 pages of story concluding the first story arc for $2.95) is scheduled to hit stands on Wednesday October 6th.

- The ANT: Days Like These trade (reprinting ANT 1 to 4 plus a boatload of extras all under a J. Scott Campbell cover for $9.95) is still available for orders in the August Previews (debuts in October).

- In this month’s Previews, Ezra #4 is available for initial orders.

Thank You,

Arcana Studio
