Image Comics Announces New Editions of "Age of Bronze"
Volume 1—A THOUSAND SHIPS—hits stores this September
PORTLAND, OR — Eric Shanower (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland) will release all-new full-color editions of his acclaimed historical fiction series beginning this September with AGE OF BRONZE, VOL. 1: A THOUSAND SHIPS.
Helen runs off with Paris. Agamemnon declares war on Troy. Achilles hides among girls. Odysseus goes mad. And that’s only the beginning.
This is the Trojan War like you’ve never seen it before, featuring vibrant colors by Harvey Award-nominated Black Cherry Bombshells creator John Dallaire that lift the politics and passion of Eric Shanower’s work to new heights.
“I'm really happy to present AGE OF BRONZE in color at last,” said Shanower. “Color gives an exciting new dimension to the story. John Dallaire has been great to work with, and I hope readers will really love the new look.”
AGE OF BRONZE, VOL. 1 (ISBN: 978-1-5343-0829-9, Diamond code: JUN180059) hits comic book stores Wednesday, September 12th, 2018 and bookstores Tuesday, September 18th, 2018. It can be preordered via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indiebound, and Indigo.
Select praise for AGE OF BRONZE:
“[Shanower’s] dialogue is formal but not florid, and the narrative flow is clear and simple. But the story also has many amazing scenes for an artist—and Shanower makes the most of them, with a fine-lined style in black and white drawings evoking woodcuts and classical paintings.” —Publishers Weekly
“Gripping to read and beautiful to look at, a feast of images fit for the gods.” —Salon
“Expertly rendered… This comic oozes historical accuracy from every pore.” —Wired
“A worthwhile addition to anyone’s collection. I would heartily recommend this series to anyone interested in the Trojan War, Greek mythology in general, or the Mycenaean Bronze Age.” —Ancient World Magazine
“Shanower draws on intensive archaeological research and his own uncanny psychological insight to depict an ancient world that is wholly, tragically human.” —New York Times Book Review
“Shanower’s sureness of the tiniest details feeds AGE OF BRONZE’s barreling momentum.” —The Washington Post
“As erudite as it is entertaining, Shanower’s Herculean task is executed with the grace of the gods.” —Entertainment Weekly

Image Comics Announces One Printing Only for "The Magic Order #1"
PORTLAND, OR — In a letter to select comics retailers, Mark Millar revealed that the #1 launch issue of his first title with NETFLIX—the hotly anticipated THE MAGIC ORDER with art by Olivier Coipel which was first announced at Image Expo—will not go to a second printing.
“FOC for #1 is this coming Monday and we hope you're suitably prepared. We want to get back to that crazy, exciting time where a first printing really meant something too and create a real collectibility here with NO SECOND PRINTINGS," said Millar. "We love the idea of making this genuinely sought after. So after inventory on the first and only print run is depleted, there will be no additional printings. That said, we’re very, very sure this is going to sell out, especially after you see the book and once you see the multimedia promotion that’s coming over the next three weeks.”
We live in a world where we’ve never seen a monster, and The Magic Order is the reason we sleep safely in our beds. Magic meets the mob in THE MAGIC ORDER, as five families of magicians—sworn to protect our world for generations—must battle an enemy who’s picking them off one by one. By day, they live among us as our neighbors, friends, and co-workers, but by night, they are the sorcerers, magicians, and wizards that protect us from the forces of darkness…unless the darkness gets them first.
Millar's first NETFLIX comic book, drawn by the incredible Coipel (Amazing Spider-Man, Thor), THE MAGIC ORDER #1 hits stores on Wednesday, June 13th, 2018. The final order cutoff for comics retailers is Monday, May 21st, 2018.
MAGIC ORDER #1 (OF 6) CVR A COIPEL - Diamond code APR180455
MAGIC ORDER #1 (OF 6) CVR B B&W COIPEL - Diamond code APR180456
MAGIC ORDER #1 (OF 6) CVR C HUGHES - Diamond code APR180457
MAGIC ORDER #1 (OF 6) CVR D BLANK VARIANT - Diamond code APR180458
