Broken Frontier

Fans across the globe were disappointed this weekend when their favourite comic stores informed them that Markosia Publishing's HERETIC - THE TEMPLAR CHRONICLES #1 was sold out at Diamond.

"Being sold out is a great thing to say, because it makes us look like demand has exceeded our expectations, which in this case it did." Harry Markos, Managing Partner and Publisher of Markosia explained. "But when we sell out, this means that the fans lose out, because they can't get hold of a copy."

Having had sell out issues and the problems that surround them for a fan and retailer before, this time Markosia were ready for the news.

"We have a great title and a great creative team." Harry continued. "Adapted by Chuck Satterlee with art by Bruce McCorkindale, and lettered by Thomas Mauer? Based on the bestselling novel by Bram Stoker award nominee Joe Nassise? Of course it was going to sell out. So we prepared for this."

Although Diamond have stated the series is sold out on order, Markosia has already ensured that re-orders through Diamond will be fulfilled.

"We have made additional copies available to satisfy overwhelming demand." Tony Lee, Group Editor explained. "These are available immediately - and retailers should contact Diamond to place orders."

"We've not sold out. Diamond have sold out, which in itself is incredible. But we still have limited stock for anyone who needs it."

Retailers and fans are urged to continue ordering HERETIC #1 from Diamond - and if unavailable, to buy it online at either www.midtowncomics.com or www.markosia.com.
