New series Crimes Against Nature by Eliot Rahal (Bleed Them Dry, Cult Classic) and Mattia Monaco (Eat Your Young, Knock ‘Em Dead) has hit big with readers instantly hooked by it’s quirky, neo-noir hijinks and issue #1 has sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics will rush this debut back to print this week in order to keep up with escalating demand.
The Crimes Against Nature #1, second printing cover will feature new art by John Bivens (Malevolent).
“I really can’t believe this has happened, and I’m very grateful to everyone who helped make it happen,” said Rahal. “I just hope everyone like the rest of the series just as much. Also, this John Bivens second print cover rules.”
Monaco added: “Seeing Crimes Against Nature sell out is a joy. I still can’t fully wrap my head around the amount of love and interest people are showing for this book, we worked hard but that’s simply incredible. And I agree with Eliot: John Bivens cover absolutely rules!!”
