TEEN TITANS #8 SOLD OUT AT DC COMICS


TEEN TITANS #8 (DEC030287), featuring the dramatic return of Raven, has sold out at DC Comics. The issue, written by Geoff Johns with art by Tom Grummet & Marlo Alquiza and a cover by Mike McKone & Alquiza, serves as a prelude to the 5-part storyline “New Blood,” which begins in TEEN TITANS #9.

"We're building up to the end of our first year of Titans and I couldn't be happier,” says Johns. “Thanks to everyone for their support, and especially to those Raven fans!"

“Readers have been very enthusiastic about TEEN TITANS since its debut last summer, and the return of one of the team’s classic members has increased their interest,” says Bob Wayne, DC’s VP — Sales & Marketing. “With the new storyline just under way, retailers should look at increasing orders on upcoming issues.”

DC has no plans to go back to press on this issue at this time. Please note that copies still may be available at retail.

Other issues of TEEN TITANS are available as follows:

• TEEN TITANS #9 (JAN040260) is available for reorder.

• TEEN TITANS #10 (FEB040280) is available for advance reorder and is scheduled to arrive in stores on April 14 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S.

• TEEN TITANS #11 (MAR040333) is solicited in the March issue of Previews (Volume XIV #3) and is scheduled to arrive in stores on May 12 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S.

• TEEN TITANS #12 (APR040334) is solicited in the April issue of Previews (Volume XIV #4) and is scheduled to arrive in stores on June 9 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S.

In addition, the TEEN TITANS: A KID’S GAME TP (JAN040261), collecting TEEN TITANS #1-7, is available for reorder.


DC AND WIZARD DELIVER TEEN TITANS #1/2 TO RETAILERS
Courtesy of DC Comics and Wizard, retailers will receive one complimentary copy of TEEN TITANS #1/2 on April 7 for every active Diamond account. This special issue was offered to the public via a mail-in coupon in Wizard #149 and TEEN TITANS #9, and features a new 13-page story written by Geoff Johns with art by the ACTION COMICS team of Ivan Reis & Marc Campos, a cover by Mike McKone & Marlo Alquiza, plus special background features.

DC COMICS COLLECTS WILDC.A.T.S/CYBERFORCE CROSSOVER
Top comics creators Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri joined forces in 1993 for the unforgettable WILDC.A.T.S/Cyberforce crossover, which brought together two of comics’ hottest teams. That event is collected as the WILDC.A.T.S/CYBERFORCE: KILLER INSTINCT TP.

This 160-page trade paperback collects Cyberforce #1-3, written by Marc Silvestri and Eric Silvestri with art by Mark Silvestri and Scott Williams, and WILDC.A.T.S #5-7, written by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi with art by Lee and Williams.
