Just a week after its release, the first issue of IDW Publishing’s The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace has sold out at the distributor level.
A second print is being rushed to ensure it arrives in conjunction with the second issue, and we have an exclusive first look at Damien Worm‘s (The October Faction) new cover art.
The follow-up to The Exorcism at 1600 Penn is written by creator Hannah Rose May (Smile: For the Camera) with artwork by Kelsey Ramsay (Godzilla: Heist).
It’s 5:00 a.m. at 10 Downing Street. The prime minister gets a call that bolts him upright out of bed: the royal family has been lost at sea. Parliament and Buckingham Palace explode with action in the aftermath. Some suspect the prince and his wife were attacked. Others whisper their tragedy was the result of a long-standing family curse…
Either way, playboy and recovering addict Theo Belmont is next in line to the throne. Can he step up to the role, or will he be consumed by his demons?
“We’re sold out and going back to print! I couldn’t be more thrilled,” commented May. “To see readers not just connect with The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace but demand more? That’s the response every creator dreams of. Massive thanks to retailers for their support and to readers for showing up.”
The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1 second printing goes on sale April 29, along with the second issue. Pre-orders are due by Monday, March 23.
Blumhouse-Atomic Monster recently announced development on a feature adaptation of The Exorcism at 1600 Penn.
