MULTIPLE ISSUES OF KIERON GILLEN & STEPHANIE HANS' DIE RUSHED BACK TO PRINT

Image Comics is pleased to announce that New York Times bestselling creator Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine) and artist Stephanie Hans’ Die #2 and Die #3 will both be rushed back to print in order to keep up with growing demand for the series. Die is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of adults have to deal with the returning unearthly horror they barely survived as teenage role-players. The series is perhaps best described as “Goth Jumanji”—but that only captures a sliver of what you’ll find in this series where fantasy gets all too real. Die #2, third printing (Diamond Code JAN198202) and Die #3, second printing (Diamond Code JAN198203) will be available on Wednesday, March 13. The final order cutoff deadline for comic shop retailers is Monday, Feb 18. Die #4 Cover A by Hans (Diamond Code JAN190292) and Die #4 Cover B by Christian Ward (Diamond Code JAN190293) will be available on Wednesday, March 6. Fans can also subscribe to receive the series delivered by mail within the domestic U.S. on Image Direct. Die is also available for purchase across many digital platforms, including the official Image Comics iOS app, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.

It’s such a great concept for a series.” —Gerry Duggan, Deadpool, Analog “Do you wish that IT had fewer clowns luring in sewers with balloons and more RPG sessions that cause kids to disappear for several years? Then Die by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans is the comic for you! Also, I got to test-play the RPG the book is built around and it’s SO FUN.” —Jody Houser, Stranger Things, Faith, Doctor Who “Die is a compelling drama, filled with secrets and lies. It has the reliable wit and grace one expects from Gillen along with rich and stunning artwork by Hans, who is without a doubt delivering her best work to date.

ABOUT KIERON GILLEN Kieron Gillen first came to attention in his 2006 collaboration with Jamie McKelvie, Phonogram.

Their most successful work is their 2014 ongoing series, The Wicked + The Divine. Kieron's other books for Image include Three and the recently launched Die. His other books include many titles published by Marvel (Journey into Mystery, Uncanny X-Men, Young Avengers) and Avatar. He lives in London.  ABOUT STEPHANIE HANS Stephanie Hans is a seasoned illustrator.
