Civil War
Tie-Ins Front Line #1, Wolverine #43, and X-Factor #8 Sell Out
Civil War tie-ins have continued to fly off the shelves as the biggest Marvel
event ever continues to electrify readers. In fact, three more
tie-ins have sold out at Diamond in_ CIVIL WAR: FRONT LINE #1__, WOLVERINE
#43__, and X-FACTOR #8_.
Marvel is going back to press on all three of these issues with all-new second
printing covers. _ CIVIL WAR: FRONT LINE #1__ and WOLVERINE #43__ will feature
the thematic “interior shot” covers while the X-FACTOR #8_ second printing will
receive an all-new cover from interior artist Dennis Calero.
Fans are excited over all the Civil War tie-ins thus far and the critics have
continued to praise the event as a whole.
Timothy Lee of Paperbackreader.com calls_ WOLVERINE #43_ “a well written
Wolverine issue…Guggenheim is the new face of Wolverine, and he proves the
“Snikt” isn’t gone. If you are a fan of Chris Claremont’s Wolverine, then I
think you will
enjoy Guggenheim’s version.”
Geoff Collins of SilverBulletComicBooks.com calls_ X-FACTOR #8__ “an air tight
comic. It’s a good jump on point for both X-FACTOR__ and CIVIL WAR_ while
continuing both those stories. David’s dialogue is smart, occasionally funny,
natural, and always builds the overall story…Calero makes it even better with
his art.”
Mike Podgorski of SpiderFan.org calls_ CIVIL WAR: FRONT LINE #1_ “a very
well-written story, and the art fits with the story. This is a very good book,
and highly recommended.”
And it’s not just the scores of Marvel Zombies picking up these
tie-ins. New comics fans are coming in droves looking for anything Civil
War. Atomic Comics owner Mike Malve says, “We have never had as many
non traditional comic fans come in and the constant phone calls like we have
seen due to Civil War.”
The first five Civil War tie-in second prints have been just as hot as the
first printings with_ AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #532__, WOLVERINE #42__, and SHE-HULK
#8__ all selling out at Diamond with NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI__ and
THUNDERBOLTS #103_ second printings well on their way. Be sure to be on the
look out for these issues when they hit stands July19.
And don’t forget the upcoming second printings of_ CIVIL WAR: FRONT LINE #1__,
WOLVERINE #43__, and X-FACTOR #8_ as Civil War continues to be the hottest part
of summer.
Retailers should continue to check orders on upcoming_ CIVIL WAR__ titles and
increase where needed! Marvel continues to thank retailers and fans
for the continued support in making CIVIL WAR_ a huge success.
