Dynamite's Voltron #1 Sells Out, Goes Back to Press

*First printing cover

Ultimate victory has never been closer for the Voltron Force. King Zarkon's brutal regime has been pushed to the edges of the galaxy, left to wage a series of desperate and losing battles to claim innocent victims while they still can. But Zarkon knows something -- a secret about Voltron over a hundred years old that could change everything for the Galaxy Alliance. This isn't the Voltron we all know, but one redefined and re-imagined by those he and his adventures have inspired over the years. This is Generation Voltron ...

The return of Voltron was clearly welcomed by retailers, as the first printing sold out the week of release. Featuring the red variant version of Sean Chen's issue #1 cover, a new printing is scheduled to go on sale December 28. Those that weren't able to pick up enough copies of the original printing thus won't have to wait long before getting copies of issue #1 well before the January 11 on-sale date of Voltron #2.

"Voltron is one of the most well-known cartoons of all-time," says Dynamite President Nick Barrucci. "Classic Media and World Events Productions are working with a wide-range of licensing partners to ensure Voltron's success. With the upcoming cartoon and a feature film in the works, now is the perfect time to launch a Voltron comic book for a new era, which will feature amazing Alex Ross covers. Our acquisition of this incredible brand is another step in Dynamite's exciting growth and builds on the ongoing success of our line."

"We've been given a lot of latitude by our partners at Classic Media and World Events," said Dynamite Editor Joe Rybandt. "Nothing is off the table and if you've followed our releases featuring pop culture icons, you know that we take the best and add the new and create something unique and special on its own. Expect no different from Voltron."
