BOOM! Studios is proud to announce that MARIAN HERETIC #1 has, a head of issue #1’s on-sale, sold out at the distributor level and is being rushed back to a second printing! The second printing will be available November 19, the same day as issue #2, anywhere comics are sold. The hit new series created by Tini Howard and Joe Jaro has generated significant buzz ahead of the October 8 on-sale, and is sitting as one of the most-anticipated comics of 2025.
Sister Marian is a witch hunter of the highest order, a Mother Superior, and a heretic guided by a Goddess the Church refuses to acknowledge. When the Holy Father brands her order blasphemers, Marian strikes a dark bargain to become their personal enforcer.
As she delivers murderous judgement night after night in the city of Vespers, she can feel her soul fracture…but what else can she do with the lives of her sisters at stake?
“We’re so thankful that Marian Heretic #1 has sold out,” says Josh Hayes, Vice President of Consumer and Sales Marketing. “I mean sure, we used some of Tini’s hair and Joe’s old socks in the spell, but to have that work? Sure its heretical, but also really amazing.”
MARIAN HERETIC #1 Second Printing features main cover art by series artist Joe Jaro.
