This week’s “Pull of the Week” Captain America #600 has already sold out. The epic 600 issue series milestone has been announced to go to a second printing with a variant cover featuring the interior art splash page from artist Butch Guice. Following the mainstream media attention the issue received and the comic being released on Monday as opposed to the regular Wednesday ship date, this has been the most talked about issue of Captain America since Steve Rogers was shot and killed two years ago.
About the milestone issue, David Gabriel, Marvel Senior Vice-President of Sales & Circulation, had this to say: “First and foremost, I’d like to thank all those retailers who made this amazing event possible by participating in this special advance release on Monday.
