Marvel is proud unveil the complete list of retailers participating in the landmark midnight opening to commemorate the release of THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS #1. Click over to http://www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.4757 to see which retailers are hosting this event at their stores, beginning the next epic comic book series from Stephen King and Marvel Comics!
Acclaimed writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, Angel Revelations) brings the first of several limited series to life this month in THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS #1 (of 5)! The Stand, which is commonly deemed as King's most popular novel, is a story of Biblical proportions; after a government-made virus mows down majority of the human race, the few survivors must band together in order to survive. With visually stunning interiors from Eisner-nominated artist, Mike Perkins (Captain America, House of M: Avengers), the human race is going make their last stand! Plus, a mind blowing, sketch variant from acclaimed artist Lee Bermejo and the first of five connecting variant covers from Perkins!
