GOD COUNTRY SENT BACK TO PRINT ON DAY OF RELEASE

Image Comics is pleased to announce that in order to keep up with overwhelming customer demand, the hot new release GOD COUNTRY #1 by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw has been rushed back to print.

Nerdist raves, “We’ve already told you how amazing God Country #1 is, so this is just a reminder. God Country #1 is William Faulkner meets Jack Kirby. Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw are going to blow your mind. Trust us on this one, guys.”

In GOD COUNTRY, Emmet Quinlan, an old widower rattled by dementia, isn't just a problem for his children—his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home—as well as the surrounding West Texas town—a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage. The enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body, however. He's now the only man who can face the otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State...

GOD COUNTRY #1 remains available for purchase across all digital platforms, including the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com), the official Image Comics iOS app, Comixology’s website (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.

GOD COUNTRY #1, 2nd printing (Diamond Code NOV169175) will be available on Wednesday, February 15th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, January 23rd.
