Haunt sells out
It’s 1992 all over again.
“Haunt,” the Image Comics launch by Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Greg Capullo and Todd McFarlane has sold out from the distributor less than 24 hours after its release.
A second print is set for a Nov. 4 release.
I’ve often thought that Image could still launch a hit in this market with the right creative team and buzz, and it looks like that’s what happened with “Haunt.” “Haunt” looks and feels quite a bit like McFarlane’s “Spawn” did at its release in 1992, though I think “Haunt,” with its three-year prep time, has had the benefit of more advance planning.
“I had a feeling this book would go over well considering the preorders were up there with Marvel and DC’s releases,” Kirkman said in a press release. “That said, it is an honor to have it so well received right off the bat. We’ll continue to aim to make fans happy. Thank you to everyone who’s supported the book, reader and retailer alike!”
