It may be old news now but it's official, The BUNKER #1 by Joshua Hale Fialkov and myself has sold out. Oni Press quickly responded with this press release:
Portland, OR (February 13, 2013) – Oni Press is thrilled to announce that the entire first printing of Joshua Hale Fialkov and Joe Infurnari’s critically-acclaimed THE BUNKER #1 has sold out at the distributor level!“WOW! It’s wonderful that our little-story-that-could continues to find new readers and fans. We’re going to need a bigger BUNKER!,” said Infurnari.
“The overwhelming response to the first issue warms my heart,” continued Fialkov. “Joe and I have built something that we love, and Oni has helped us get it into a lot of new hands. We’re so grateful for all of our readers’ and retailers’ love and support.
A second printing of the creator-owned sci-fi phenomenon—featuring a new cover by Infurnari (pictured)—is expected on March 12th, so fans and retailers that missed it the first time can hop aboard before issue #2 hits stands on March 26th.

Nobody noticed that the press release was dated a year ago. Clearly there are time fluctuations occurring surrounding this project beyond whatever is happening in the story. I'll be keeping my eye on this. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the 2nd printing cover (seen above).
That's all for now. Thank you so much for the outpouring of enthusiasm and love for this book. We've only just begun but I have insider knowledge that things only get better from here.
