Devil's Due Sells Out

Second printings on tap for G.I. Joe, Blade of Kumori and Infantry

Devils Due Publishing (DDP) is pleased to announce that several issues of its popular comic books have sold out, continuing a trend of strong sell-through by the G.I. Joe and Aftermath lines. G.I. JOE #37, G.I. JOE RELOADED #10, BLADE OF KUMORI #2, and Infantry #1 each sold out their print runs last week. A second printing of each title will be offered by DDP, each featuring a new cover.

BLADE OF KUMORI #2, written by Ron Marz, continues the tale of present-day samurai carrying on their honor-bound traditions in the modern world. The protagonist, the young female samurai Kumori, is asked to kill a man for the first time in this issue, furthering her self-discovery that she is something more than a warrior. Perhaps even something more than human.

INFANTRY #1 opens in the wake of tragedy. A pharmaceutical research lab, isolated in the South Pacific, has been mysteriously destroyed. Was it an accident? An act of terrorism? Or something far more incredible? An insurance rep named Charlie Alexander is dispatched to find answersbut what he does discover will lead him on a path that ends with the figure known only as Infantry.

In chapter two of "Union of the Snake" featured in G.I. JOE #37, creators Brandon Jerwa and Tim Seeley introduce a major new character to the G.I. Joe mythos, General Philip Rey. This storyline will end explosively, with major repercussions that will be felt by both the Joes and Cobra, and will ultimately lead into an even larger storyline. G.I. JOE RELOADED #10 is the first issue written by new series writer, Chuck Dixon.

"These titles represent the success of two different sides of Devils Due," said Josh Blaylock, President of DDP. "On one side, you have the continuing success of our licensed properties, G.I. Joe being our biggest and baddest example. On the other side you have our newly created superhero line, Aftermath, picking up new fans everywhere. And with such talented writers as Ron Marz, Marv Wolfman, Chuck Dixon and Joe Casey, its no wonder this line is growing so much."
