BRIAN HABERLIN & DAVID HINE’S SONATA #2 & SONATA #3 RUSHED BACK TO PRINT

Rising popularity of the new series & anticipation for The Marked takes off

Image/Shadowline is pleased to announce that both Sonata #2 and Sonata #3—by critically acclaimed writer David Hine (Spider-man Noir) and artist Brian Haberlin (Witchblade, Anomaly)—are being rushed back to print in order to keep up with the growing demand for the action-packed, steampunk fantasy series. In Sonata, Sonata travels through a hidden underworld where she discovers impossible science, a giant killer bird, and a young man named Pau, who sees himself as her knight in shining armor. He is also the son of the rival Tayan leader, which makes them deadly enemies. The buzz for this hot new series coincides with excitement for the creative team’s other forthcoming collaboration, The Marked, which will launch from Image/Shadowline this October.  The Marked may look like a group of cool young influencers, but beneath the designer clothes, their bodies are tattooed with the magical glyphs of an ancient order that secretly protects the world against evil forces. With no new occult threats, The Marked use their tattooed powers solely for the pursuit of pleasure until a young woman called Liza creates a dangerous new form of Hybrid Sorcery.  Sonata #2, second printing (Diamond Code JUL198214) and Sonata #3, second printing (Diamond Code JUL198215) will both hit stores on Wednesday, September 11. The final order cutoff for comic shop retailers is Monday, August 19.  The Marked #1 Cover A (Diamond Code AUG190025) and The Marked #1 Cover B (Diamond Code AUG190026) will both hit stores on Wednesday, October 16. The final order cutoff for comic shop retailers is Monday, September 23.
