Mirka Andolfo's Red Sonja #1 Sells Out Of 32,000 Print Run

Published Mon, 30 Aug 2021 09:58:10 -0500

The new Red Sonja ongoing series written by Mirka Andolfo has sold out of its 32,190 print run of Red Sonja #1 from Dynamite Entertainment ahead of its publication in comic stores this week. This was based on initial orders from comic book retailers of 15,703 and increased FOC numbers of 27,633. Reorders between FOC and publication have wiped out all copies at the distributor level, save for copies reserved in case of shipping damages. Dynamite Entertainment states that "there are currently no plans for follow-up printings, but Dynamite is working closely with retailers and listening to fans to inform a follow-up decision as necessary." Dynamite doesn't often do second printings; they may need to for this one.

Red Sonja #1 by Mirka Andolfo, Luce Blengino., Giuseppe Cafaro, Chiara De Francia, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou will debut new characters Sitha, introducing the young Sitha, the foundation for her relationship and connections to Red Sonja. It also comes out on the same day as Mirka Andolfo's Sweet Paprika #1 and the second printing of Sweet Paprika #1. Numbers are down, however, on the Invincible Red Sonja launch earlier in the year from Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Moritat, the comic book in question has initial orders of over 21,000 but after FOC, found themselves with over 40,000 orders – and a call to the printers to double the print run.
