BIRD, GO! Mad Cave’s GATCHAMAN #1 gets a second printing!

The Second Printing features a sensational new cover by series artist Chris Batista, and will include a QR code that links to a digital copy of Gatchaman #0, the promotional Free Comic Book Day issue that provides awesome easy-entry points into Mad Cave’s entire Gatchaman line.

“I’m so happy to learn that retailers and readers have connected with Gatchaman! I knew the brand had a following, but I never would have imagined just how many people wanted a story about awesome science ninjas,” said Cullen Bunn. “Chris and I are cooking up something really special, something that will appeal to longtime fans and new fans, young and old alike! And, as even more fans discover this world, we’re going to be unleashing bigger and more wild stories!”

“It truly is thrilling to hear that our Gatchaman launch is off to a great start and I’m glad to see my love for the iconic franchise is shared by so many,” said Chris Batista. “We have such a big story to tell here, and I get giddy whenever I read the latest script from Cullen. That enthusiasm is translated on every page of Gatchaman, and I’ve seen that same enthusiasm from the rest of the team on the spinoff miniseries and one-shots. I can’t wait to read those titles myself! The best is yet to come!” said Chris Batista.

“‘Bird, go!’… to a second printing!” said Mad Cave Studios Senior Editor, Chas! Pangburn. “Tatsunoko Productions’ iconic Science Ninja Team first graced television sets back in 1972 and has firmly rooted itself as an all-time classic anime series. It’s an honor to continue this legacy by expanding this world with new heroes, villains, and even mechas. Cullen Bunn and Chris Batista—both superfans themselves—have assembled an exciting tale that’s the perfect jumping-on point for existing fans and those new to the franchise. The fight against Galactor rages on!”
