SEX #2 Sells Out – Second Printing Announced

The hit book that has everyone talking, is causing headlines again. SEX #2, the second issue of the new Image Comics series by Joe Casey and Piotr Kowalski, has sold out of its initial printing at the distributor on the day of release. A second printing of SEX #2 is underway and will be available for sale on May 15, 2013.

SEX, the story of a former superhero who hangs up his cape to pursue the kind of life he had forbidden himself, has been positively received by fans and critics alike. SEX #1 sold out instantly and is already into a third printing. Seems like comic fans can’t get enough of SEX!

Here’s a sampling of what people are saying about SEX #2

“With a nod towards Moore and Gibbons, SEX’s Casey and Kowalski have given us a modern superhero story with dash of retro, a splash of moral ambiguity, and a whole lot of naughty bits.”
- Conor Kilpatrick, iFanboy

“Joe Casey’s Sex continues to develop with a reserved yet highly enjoyable plot” – 9.2 out of 10
- Joshua Yehl, IGN

“You can expect sex inside these pages but read it through and you’ll see it’s a whole lot more ” – 5 stars
- Russel Johnson, Unleash The Fanboy

SEX #2′s second printing is available to order now (Diamond code FEB138644), and the third issue will be in stores on May 22.

SEX #1 Gets Third Printing

SEX #1, the attention-grabbing first issue of a new Image Comics series by Joe Casey and Piotr Kowalski, has sold out of its second printing at the distributor level the same week as its release and will immediately receive a third printing, to be in stores on May 1.

SEX, the story of a former superhero who hangs up his cape to pursue the kind of life he had forbidden himself, burst onto the scene in early March, with an exclusive edition of the first issue available only at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle. Its first printing, in stores on March 6, sold out the same week as its release and prompted praise from critics:

“…for as much as this title begs for the attention of being called a porno mag disguised as a comic book, it refrains from titillation in favor of creating a fascinating character study amongst a fully realized neo-noir world.”
- IGN

“For those looking for dazzling art and an interesting psychological drama, then definitely pick up Sex #1.”
- Bloody Disgusting

SEX #1′s third printing is available to order now (Diamond code FEB138534), and its second issue will be in stores on April 10.

Longhunters #4 Coming Soon

Earthbound Comics has come to an END. From the ashes of this great company rises… PILOT STUDIOS!

Pilot Studios is picking up where Earthbound Comics left off, publishing its longest running title, The Longhunters, starting with the latest issue, Longhunters #4!

The Longhunters is a frontier epic revolving around a group of mountain men wandering the untamed North American landscape of the early 1800′s! Their stories are tales of America and our writers and artists work hard to mix authentic history with fictional adventure; presenting a violent and dramatic world of Native Americans, rogue military officers and invasive settlers. The Longhunters sets itself apart from the normal Superhero, Western and SciFi genres, and makes its mark as one of the few Frontier books on the stands and easily one of the best.

This fourth issue of the series features a wrap-around cover by Fubar, Winter War, and The Stars artist Kurt Belcher, along with inker Victor Moya and
colors by Chuck Michael Obach. The Longhunters #4 also features art by Ben Ferrari, story by Buck Weiss, and letters by Ken Lateer.

Pilot Studios is a Small Press comic book company, putting out over 20 high quality comics from online distributor Indyplanet.com and digitally with Drivethrucomics.com for over 3 years. Along with The Longhunters, Pilot Studios is proud to continue publishing The Stars, as well as the upcoming Kurt Belcher’s WORLD #1 anthology one-shot, Son Chasers and Flagship & Armada.
