Arcadia #1 Gets Second Printing

Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios has announced that the sci-fi thriller Arcadia #1 has sold out at the distributor level, and the publisher has rushed to a second printing to fill demand.

This follows in a string of recent sellouts of BOOM! original titles, including Burning Fields, Cluster, Curb Stomp, Deep State, and Lumberjanes.

Comic book fans should bear in mind that first printings of Arcadia #1 may still be found at the local comic shop nearest you.

Alex Paknadel and Eric Scott Pfeiffer made their comics debut with this sprawling sci-fi thriller. When 99% of humankind is wiped out by a pandemic, four billion people are “saved” by being digitized at the brink of death and uploaded into Arcadia, a utopian simulation in the cloud. But when Arcadia begins to rapidly deplete the energy resources upon which the handful of survivors in the real world (aka “The Meat”) depends, how long will The Meat be able—and willing—to help?
