March 3, 2015, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment is pleased to announce that, due to overwhelming retailer support, the first issue of Project Superpowers: Blackcross has sold through its entire first printing at exclusive distributor Diamond Comics prior to the series launch tomorrow, Wednesday, March 4th. To satisfy demand, issue #1 of the new series by veteran comic writer Warren Ellis and talented artist Colton Worley will be made available to retailers with a second printing that features an all-new cover from superstar artist Darick Robertson (The Boys, Happy!), featuring the fan-favorite character Black Terror.

The news comes just one day before the first printings of Project Superpowers: Blackcross #1 are scheduled to hit stores. The second printing is now available for order by retailers who require additional copies of Blackcross #1, listed through Diamond Comic Distributors with the item code JAN158095.

Early reviews of Warren Ellis' debut title through Dynamite Entertainment have been extremely favorable. Todd Allen of comicsbeat.com says that Blackcross is "recommended for those who like their comics on the dark and sinister side," while Mat Elfing of Comicvine.com complimented Worley's impressive contribution, saying, "The mixture of contemporary storytelling through art with the pulp feel makes this issue, on the art side of things, a real stand out."

"We're once again humbled by the support that our retail partners have given this title," says Dynamite CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci. "It seems only fitting to pair Warren's latest comic outing with Darick Roberson, his partner on the mind-blowing Transmetropolitan series."

The first printing of Project Superpowers: Blackcross #1 celebrated its launch with a wide selection of variant covers illustrated by many of the industry's top talents, including Jae Lee, Tula Lotay, Declan Shalvey, Robert Howard, and Gabriel Hardman. While these cover editions have sold out through Diamond Comic Distributors, fans should not worry, as retailers worldwide will have copies available on the launch date.
