\"northwind01sm.jpg\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] BOOM! Studios announced today that NORTH WIND #1 is completely sold out. Having been launched as part of a historic simultaneous release online and in retail stores, NORTH WIND #1 saw dramatically increased sales across the board. While publisher BOOM! Studios and distributor Diamond Comics are completely sold out, NORTH WIND #1 may still be found at direct market retailers.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0If you want a copy, I would suggest running, not walking, but running to your local comic shop,\u00a0\u00bb said Chip Mosher, Director of Marketing and Sales at BOOM! Studios. \u00ab\u00a0This promotion with MySpace Comic Books has helped us sell through all of our copies of NORTH WIND #1 and has brought new customers into comic stores across the nation. I couldn’t have been happier when Diamond called to tell us that we sold out.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Retailers across the country have had tremendous success with this promotion. In Los Angeles, venerable direct market retailer Meltdown, received fifteen copies of NORTH WIND #1 on the day of release. Only four copies were left as of this morning.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0I only wish more companies had the inspired media moxy and sales savvy as displayed by BOOM! — whether it’s their online promotions that pull and create new readers or their simple but very effective shelftalkers. In this day of dinosaur brick & mortar stores, BOOM! is always finding new ways to help us sell, sell, sell. Kudos to you BOOM! We at Meltdown, Inc. look forward to working with all your titles to BOOST! our bottom line. Please continue to keep it innovative and keep sending us new and receptive costumers to sell all types of comics to!\u00a0\u00bb Gaston Dominguez-Letelier proprietor of Meltdown, Inc. said.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0This sell out was driven by demand and dramatically increased re-orders through Diamond. We aggressively went after the comic and non-comic reading audience for this book, and they showed up in droves. BOOM! Studios offered retailers a 3% incentive for re-orders, which led to comic shops that hadn’t ordered NORTH WIND #1 to take a chance on it the day it was released. Everything just came together to make this promotion a success,\u00a0\u00bb said Ross Richie, Publisher and Co-Founder of BOOM! Studios.<\/p>\n

BOOM! Studios is working closely with Diamond Comics Distributor and evaluating the demand for a second printing.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0We are looking at the unfilled re-orders carefully at the moment. But a second printing looks like it may just happen,\u00a0\u00bb said Mosher.<\/p>\n

NORTH WIND,written by David DiGilio, best known for writing the film EIGHT BELOW and creating the ABC TV show TRAVELER, is a five issue mini-series set in a future Los Angeles after a new ice age has covered the earth. NORTH WIND chronicles the rise of a new hero in a dystopian world where people burn books for fuel, and Skinrunners trade valuable pelts for rations and warmth. The first issue features a cover by Andrew Huerta with interior artwork by newcomer and soon to be fan-favorite, Alex Cal.<\/p>\n

MySpace, the world’s most popular social network, and BOOM! Studios, a leader in comic book and graphic novel publishing, announced a partnership January 3rd to provide the MySpace Comic Book community with free digital downloads of BOOM! Studios’ highly anticipated new comic book series,\u00a0 NORTH WIND. Throughout the five-issue mini-series, MySpace users will be able to download all the issue of NORTH WIND for free exclusively on the MySpace Comic Books profile (http:\/\/myspace.com\/comicbooks<\/a>) the day each issue hits store shelves.
