“Red Before Black #1” Hits Reprint Success: A Crime Thriller’s Explosive Debut
In the seething cauldron of Florida’s criminal underworld, expect the unpredictable—wild chases, bloody clashes, and now, a fiery duo sending shockwaves through the comic universe. The first issue of “Red Before Black,” a violent, women-led crime thriller, has triumphantly sold out at its distribution level, marking a stunning debut.
Never underestimate the power of a disgraced army veteran with a vendetta. Val, our relentless protagonist, touches down in Florida with the tenacity of an alligator. She’s on a mission to collar the infamous drug runner, Leo. What unfolds in the vibrant, sun-soaked peninsula is a twist too tantalizing to reveal fully. Faced with an unexpected common enemy, Val and Leo must switch gears from a simple chase to an underground game of sinister survival.
The Impact of a Sold-Out Release
As if the story’s dramatic twists weren’t enough, BOOM! Studios has added more fuel to the fire by announcing a second printing of “Red Before Black #1” due to its spectacular success. Slated to hit the stands on September 4, 2024, the second-printing edition features brand new cover art by Tonči Zonjić, renowned for his remarkable work on Hellboy.
Assistant Editor Maya Bollinger of BOOM! Studios couldn’t contain her excitement over the overwhelming reception of this thrilling escapade. “The comic lovers have shown incredible enthusiasm for our extra-chaotic dynamic duo. The wild ride of Val and Leo, believe me, is only beginning with ‘Red Before Black #1.'”
This reprint isn’t just a testament to the issue’s popularity—it’s a clear signal that Red Before Black is carving out its place in the comic world. The series stands strong within BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, known for critically acclaimed original series.
