Image Comics revealed to retailers that W0RLDTR33 #1 will be delayed by two weeks due to a printing error.
The wait is almost over for W0RLDTR33 #1, the highly anticipated new series from multiple Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children) and Fernando Blanco (Detective Comics), along with Eisner-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire and Eisner-nominated letterer Adiyta Bidikar. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseeable printer error, the release date has been pushed back. But don’t worry, Image Comics is working hard to get the premier issue back on track and it will be hitting shelves on Wednesday, April 26.
“I opened them to find that a few of the covers had printed so dark that you could not make out almost half of the image,” said Tynion IV. “It took a few days of wrangling, but we got a reprint up and running, but since it was Easter, it’s not happening as quickly as it would otherwise.”
Reprinting an issue due to subpar quality is not uncommon in the world of comics, things happen. The highly anticipated release of the book just adds to the excitement.
“At the end of the day, talking to Fernando [Blanco], Jordie [Bellaire], Aditya [Bidikar], Steve [Foxe], and all the folks at Image, we just couldn’t let a sub-standard product hit the shelves. This book is important to us, and we want it to run for a long time. Now, we have a chance to get it done right,” Tynion IV continued.
Be sure to let your local comic shop know you want a copy of the debut issue on April 26.
About W0RLDTR33
In 1999, Gabriel and his friends discovered the Undernet, a secret architecture to the Internet. They charted their exploration on a message board called W0RLDTR33.
Then they lost control. Someone broke into W0RLDTR33-someone who welcomed the violent hold the Undernet had on them. At great personal cost, Gabriel and the others thought they sealed the Undernet away for good.
They were wrong. And now they will know the meaning of PH34R.
