This is the Bill Sienkiewicz cover for Hypernaturals #1 from Boom! Studios It is available, slabbed at CGC 9.8, to all retailers who ordered a very large quantity of the standard comic There are, as a result, only fifty copies, all others from the print run have been destroyed.

I'm told that the print run for the first print of Boom's Higher Earth #2 by Sam Humphries, Manuel Bracchi and Francesco Biagini was 7,550 And that it sold out faster than anything Boom! has previously published, seventeen days before it went on sale – possibly as an affect effect of the $1 first issue[...]

Presumably a new book from September, this visual sent out by Boom's PR people is titled Kung Fu Orphanage An orphanage in which the children are taught kung fu… and become some kind of enforcers or assassins for whoever funds the orphanage perhaps?

His first Boom! title is about to come out, Extermination with Jeffrey Edwards, and because we're friends, I was able to steal the first issue from his flash drive at a pub meet without him realising that it had gone.

And clearly both Boom and Valiant have a lot behind these respective properties and are keen for as many people to see them in this final push as possible, by sending me the first four unlettered, and in Bloodshot's case uncoloured, pages from each comic. Fair enough then Hypernaturals first, then Bloodshot.   You can tell[...]

Did you get a copy of Incorruptible #28 from Boom? It may depend on exactly where your comic shop is.
