Posted on by

FAITH_OG_001_COVER-SECOND-PRINTING_WADALast month during Comic-Con International 2016 in San Diego, Valiant announced that FAITH #1 – the highest selling independent superhero series debut of the year and the launch title of “THE FUTURE OF VALIANT” initiative – had sold out at the distributor level just days after its July 20th on-sale date.

In honor of the series’ groundbreaking debut, Valiant then unveiled an unprecedented plan to ship 100,000 complimentary copies of a new FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING – each cover priced at $2.99 – to participating comic shops in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Now, at long last, the 48-page FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING will arrive in stores this Wednesday, August 24th alongside two other major “FUTURE OF VALIANT” releases – FAITH #2 by Jody Houser, Pere Perez, and Marguerite Savauge and GENERATION ZERO #1 by Fred Van Lente and Francis Portela. With just days to go until the breakout series of 2016 returns to store shelves nationwide, Valiant is giving participating retailers the opportunity to use the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING to find new readers and generate maximum visibility for Valiant titles within their stores:

  • Rack the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING alongside FAITH #2 and GENERATION ZERO #1 at full cover price for maximum exposure!
  • Offer the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING as a free bonus with any other #1 first issue purchase of the week!
  • Bonus each of your subscribers/pullbox customers with the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING!
  • Bundle the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING and FAITH #2 together for as little as the price of a single issue!
  • Alternatively, bundle the hit collection of Faith’s sold-out debut solo adventure, FAITH VOL 1: HOLLYWOOD AND VINE trade paperback, and the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING together for $9.99!
  • Or simply offer a money-back guarantee on the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING!

Retailers hoping to capitalize further on this week’s complimentary copies of FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING can contact Valiant directly at retailers@valiantentertainment.com for assistance and additional promotional materials.

Packed with content at a colossal 48 pages, the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING features the beginning of Faith’s first ongoing series – as told by acclaimed writer Jody Houser (Orphan Black), stratospheric interior artists Pere Perez (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG), Marguerite Sauvage (DC Comics Bombshells), and Colleen Doran (The Sandman), and sensational cover artist Kevin Wada (She-Hulk)! But that’s not all!

Each copy of the FAITH #1 SECOND PRINTING doubles as an early look ahead at Valiant’s biggest year yet with “THE FUTURE OF VALIANTSNEAK PREVIEW flip book – spotlighting an all-new wave of ongoing series, prestige format projects and standalone events from the largest independent superhero universe anywhere in comics! Officially kicking off in the pages of FAITH #1, “THE FUTURE OF VALIANT” will extend throughout 2016 with a total of seven epic series – each introducing an innovative array of new concepts and characters…and firmly establishing Valiant’s place as the premier publisher of creative storytelling in comics today:
