BOOM! Studios announces that Farscape #1, the first of their comic-book continuation of the television series, sold out in five days. They clarify that “sold out” means the distributor is sold out, but that copies are still available in retail comic shops. The publisher is considering a second printing.
“We are tracking the unfilled re-orders carefully at the moment. But a second printing looks like it may just happen,” said Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher.
The comic is written by television series creator Rockne O’Bannon with script by Keith R.A. DeCandido, interior art by Tommy Patterson, and cover art by Dennis Calero and Joseph Corroney.
The comic picks up where the television miniseries Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars left off. O’Bannon expects to steer the characters “into new and original stories, keeping with the existing canon—and then extending it.”
