Will Greg Capullo See Nocterra #1 Join Crossover In The 100K Club?

Bleeding Cool has the word that Nocterra, the new comic book by Scott Snyder and Tony S Daniel from Image Comics/Best Jackett Press is about to hit 100,000 advance orders. One little trick will be Snyder grabbing his Batman, Metal and Death Metal co-creator Greg Capullo, for a new cover in time for FOC this weekend, with a new standard cover, a 1:150 black-and-white variant and 1:200 "blackout" variant, which usually signifies black ink on black paper stock. And may see a few stores up their numbers to qualify.

Scott Snyder tells Bleeding Cool "For a long time, I could do all the big, summer blockbuster storytelling I sincerely love at DC, so my creator-owned work was a place to experiment more. But taking time off from DC this year, I wanted the first book out of the gate for Best Jackett to be something that leaned into all the bombast and high-stakes storytelling of my superhero work, but also embraced the more personal elements of books like Wytches."

"So for me, Nocterra is everything I love in one place. High octane horror that has an emotional core that I care about a lot, as does co-creator Tony Daniel. He's doing the work of his career on this one, too. Just like me, he's leaning into the stuff he loves to do, big-hearted, big fisted visual storytelling, so with this one, we're both having a blast."

"I'm going to be announcing a bunch of books later in the spring for Best Jackett, and a lot of them present new creative challenges – they're genres I've never tried, and so on. I think a number of them will surprise people. This one, though – Nocterra –  was all about celebrating our love of high drama, widescreen comics. So seeing retailers and fans come out so strongly for it… it means a ton to all of us on the team. Thanks for taking this crazy ride into the dark with us."

Will do Scott. Nocterra #1 FOCs this weekend. And enjoy the rest of the 100K Club. It's basically you, Batman, Crossover, Spawn, Star Wars: The High Republic and BRZRKR these days.
