Hexed #1 Sells Out Ahead of Second Printing

Hexed #1 2nd Printing

It's a good bet that you never fancied yourself a fan of hexes. After all, they're not really something you strive to be on the receiving end of. BOOM! Studios has a hex that seems to be a little more intriguing though, as Hexed #1 has sold out and will return to press for a second printing. The Michael Alan Nelson/Dan Mora collaboration will even boast a new cover by Mora.

“I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Hexed is one of my favorite titles we’ve ever published,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “This second print has all of us very happy and incredibly thankful. Diving back into Luci’s story with Mike, and the astonishingly talented Dan Mora, has been everything we hoped it would be. And having Emma Rios return to provide the stunning covers was the icing on the cake.”

Luci Jennifer Inacio Das Neves, better known as “Lucifer,” first appeared in Fall of Cthulhu Vol. 3: The Gray Man and the 2008 Hexed limited series and is a quick-witted mash-up of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lara Croft. This new series dives back into the depths of the Aether with the supernatural thief-for-hire as she takes on the dark denizens of the netherworld in search of wondrous objects for her mentor/mother figure, Val Brisendine. In addition, artist Emma Rios, who debuted in American comics on the first Hexed series, returns to illustrate covers.

The Hexed #1 second print ships with a new cover by Mora and carries a retail price of $3.99 with a Diamond Code of JUL148468. The final order cutoff date for retailers is September 15th and will go on sale in stores on October 1st. Full press release below.
