Kieron Gillen?s exciting new series,?Uber, was a huge success, prompting an immediate sellout of stock on the aggressive over print for the title before the first official day on sale.??Uber #0, a powerful 48 page launch issue with 46 pages of story and supporting editorial, was hailed as ?the best comic of the week? by many fans and retailers.? Collectors and speculators caused prices for the regular, wraparound, and propaganda poster editions to spike and sent retailers in search of copies to meet consumer demand.? The very rare?Uber #0 Blitzkrieg Incentive edition saw eBay listings selling the book for ten times its cost within hours of the title hitting shelves.
Avatar Press is very proud to welcome Kieron Gillen to its stable of talented creators.? ?Our fans have spoken the loudest with their praise and excitement over Kieron?s first series with us,? said William Christensen, Publisher of Avatar Press.??Uber #0 introduces the?Invincible Iron Man scribe?s universe detailing the impact of introducing super soldiers into the dying days of World War II.? The series is meticulously researched and features real people, events, and battles from the pages of history.? And his vision of what these super humans can do along with their impact on the events to that point in history have presented something that is unique to the series.? Artist Caanan White has created the perfect balance of the fantastic alongside his depictions of the real life horrors of war.
To help get more copies out to comic shops so that all fans can experience the world of?Uber, Avatar Press is rushing a new product that both reprints the original content of?Uber #0 and adds 16 additional pages of?behind the scenes content, research, and unseen pencil art.?
