“We’re pleased to release the first chapter to bookstores around the world”, said series creator James Watson, “This first edition boasts 20 pages of extras, including exclusive concept artwork and variant covers not previously published on-line. It’s a great introduction to the series!”
The book’s rollout will begin with a direct digital release and through Amazon’s Comixology website for digital comics, then available as a trade paperback in mid-May. By early summer, book retailers will be able to order copies through regular distribution channels.
