Here's how Warner describes the film:

IMAGE'S GIRLS SELLS OUT AGAIN

  The Luna Brothers' Girls, from Image Comics, continues to perform well, with both the second printing of Girls #1 and the first printing of Girls #2 having sold out at Diamond.

   As with issue #1, Girls #2 was supported by a 25 percent overship to retailers as well as Image's standard overprint.

  "Girls selling out for the second time is quite an amazing thing for us," said co-creator Jonathan Luna. "We would like to thank both the fans and retailers for supporting our book. We love meeting both at the cons we go to, and they are so uplifting.²

  Image is going back to print on both issues. The third printing of Girls #1 will feature a sketch version of the second printing cover. The second printing of Girls #2 will feature an all-new cover by Jonathan Luna.

  "Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine a response like this," said Joshua Luna, "and with only two issues in, we've really only scratched the surface.  Readers can expect some major twists and turns as the book progresses, so if you think things are crazy now, you definitely need to see where this story is heading. Plus, I think a lot of people can relate to a "boy meets girl" type of story."

ELLIUM AT SPEAKEASY COMICS

Genome Studios has announced that its series Ellium has found a new home with Speakeasy Comics.

Here's how Ellium is described:

"Having her life ripped away one bloody piece at a time is only the beginning for Angelica Cain. Running from the murderers of her father, Angelica unwittingly becomes entangled in a shadow-war played out on a global front behind corporate logos. Thrust into a sub-culture of futuristic espionage, secret societies and the occult, Angelica's fate and that of the entire world hang in the balance! "

Scheduled for October, Ellium: Principles Of Chaos is a new beginning for the series, featuring 128 pages in full color and a forward by Chuck Satterlee. It will be published on a quarterly schedule.

"I'm very excited about the new opportunities Speakeasy Comics has given me," said Jason Moser, creator and artist of Ellium. "Ellium is a story that I feel many people will enjoy and by partnering with Speakeasy, I believe Ellium will not only be easier for new fans to get a hold of, but the production quality will be top notch!   Ellium is the story of political corruption, the occult, secret societies and what happens when a few good people decide to stand against the corruption and fight for what they believe in."
