PORTLAND, Ore. 09/06/2024 — Issues #1-3 of the white-hot new new series, Falling in Love on the Path to Hell by Gerry Duggan (Deadpool, X-Men) and Garry Brown (Babyteeth), have sold out completely at the distributor level yet again. Image Comics will rush all three back to print this week in order to keep up with reorder activity.
“When you publish a comic, you’re bringing a collaboration into the world that you must love with every muscle in your heart—it must be a story that’s missing from the world, something you would buy if it were on the stands, but it’s not…so you must make it. This is true of our violent romance in purgatory,” said Duggan. “We thank everyone that tried us and are sticking around for this epic. You’ve given us the long rope to tell the story we dreamt of seeing on our shelves one day. We can’t wait for you to experience what is in our notebooks.”
Brown added: “Grateful for the retailers and fans that took the plunge with us. The best is yet to come.”
The sun set on samurai and gunslingers at roughly the same time in the 1870s—but Falling in Love on the Path to Hell’s two leads didn’t die off quietly. In Japan, Asami, an Onna-musha warrior and female samurai, would rather die with her weapons than surrender them to a sword hunt. In California, the gunslinger MacRaith follows his revenge to the bitter end and pays the ultimate price. The unlikely pair are mortally wounded a world apart, but awake together in a purgatory ruled by a ruthless, nightmarish society of damned warriors.
First announced with an exclusive ashcan giveaway to retailers at Emerald City Comic Con and an exclusive scoop on the announcement at Popverse, this gunslinging tale of love and revenge showcases a massive extra-length story that drops readers straight into the action.
