Ssalefish GSO First Look #74 for 9.5.19

615.jpg

I'm writing today, a day earlier than usual, because I just can't wait to make this announcement any longer (and because I'm going to be sequestered in the warehouse for the next two days getting things ready for Greensboro Comicon [tickets on sale now here at the shop]): We'll be getting our very own exclusive variant cover to Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion #1 in October!

Illustrated by the always prolific Francesco Francavilla and limited to 1,500 copies worldwide, the interior madness will be presented by the original series team, written by My Chemical Romance frontman and DC's Young Animal editor-in-chief Gerard Way and illustrated by multiple-Eisner-award-winner Gabriel Ba. As with our Batman #50 variant, the first copy purchased in-store will be cover price, with each additional copy available for just $10. It's also the perfect book to get signed by G at NC Comicon: Bull City in November!

This is truly another dream come truth for me. Umbrella Academy is hands down a desert island, top 5 series of all time (alongside Scott Pilgrim, DC New Frontier, All-Star Superman, and Casanova for those keeping track at home). I've even quintuple-dipped on Apocalypse Suite in deluxe hardcover, paperback, single issues, mini hardcover, and digital, and this is just another example of how lucky I am to be a business owner, that, with the consultation of my partners, of course, I can see where we're at and the road ahead and make a completely self-dulgent decision to do something that will spread my personal enjoyment of something across the world!
