The debut issue of hot new series Escape—by Uncanny Avengers duo Rick Remender (Deadly Class, The Seasons) and Daniel Acuña (Captain America, Black Panther)—has sold out yet again at the distributor level. Escape #1 is being fast-tracked for a reprint this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with the escalating demand.
Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals—think Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad—Escape is a gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath. It’s about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.
Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines—in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.
Now injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son—civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything…and everyone.
“Creating Escape took everything we had,” said Remender. “Seeing readers embrace it so quickly means the world. Thank you for making it a hit right out of the gate.”
