Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is excited to announce
that readers are smitten with Jonesy, the new limited series from heartbreakers
Sam Humphries (Legendary Star Lord, Weirdworld) and Caitlin Rose Boyle (Buck n’
Lou & the Night Crew), as the issue has sold out through its first printing
at the distributor level. The publisher has rushed to a second printing to fill
demand.
Jonesy #1 saw an impressive 46% increase in retailer orders
from initial orders to Final Order Cutoff. The debut issue saw another 25%
increase when participating retailers placed their order for the second annual
In-Store Convention Kickoff exclusive variant cover. This most recent sellout
comes on the heels of activity following the In-Store Convention Kickoff.
Jonesy #1 second print ships with a modified cover by Boyle
and carries a retail price of $3.99. Orders close
on March 21, and copies are anticipated to be in stores on April 6. Jonesy #2
arrives in stores on March 16.
Jonesy is a self-described “cool dork” who spends her time
making zines nobody reads, watching anime, and listening to riot grrrl bands
and 1D simultaneously. But she has a secret nobody knows: She has the ability
to make people fall in love! Anyone, with anything. She’s a teenager in plaid
with Cupid powers. There’s only one catch—it doesn’t work on herself. She’s
gonna have to find love the old-fashioned way, and in the meantime, figure out
how to distract herself from the real emotions she inevitably has to face when
her powers go wrong.
