Zenescope's Grimm Myths & Legends #1 Sells Out

Sellouts are all the rage these days and are nothing but good news for the publishers. They're not so good news for the readers that may have missed the initial run as they won't have a chance to get their hands on the issue. In the case of Zenescope Entertainment's Grimm Myths & Legends #1 Zenescope still has a limited number of regular and exclusive copies on hand for your enjoyment.

"We're thrilled that fans and retailers have gotten behind Myths & Legends like they have. We sold through a 15,000 issue print run very quickly and that's exciting for us," said Zenescope Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco. "This is a new, on-going title that gives us the ability to revisit numerous fairy tales and Grimm Universe characters within modern day settings while also including the horror elements that have made the original series so popular."

Grimm Myths & Legends #1 is written by Raven Gregory and features art by David Miller and Jason Embury (covers by J. Scott Campbell, Nei Ruffino, Ebas and Mike DeBalfo). It revisits Britney from the very first issue of Grimm Fairy Tales as she is stalked by a shapeshifting werewolf intent on killing her. You can expect to see a second printing of the first issue with cover art by Ebas to coincide with the release of the second issue.
