28 Days Later #1 on second printing

Did you have designs on checking out 28 Days Later #1? I hope you already picked it up by now, because if not, you're out of luck (sort of). The bad news is that the first print is sold out. The good news is that Boom! Studios has sent the issue to a second printing! Now you may still be able to find the first printing at a comic book store near you. Just don't expect to order the first print via Diamond Comics. If you did pick up the first printing you may still be inclined to pick up the second printing because of the special blood red variant that will be released.
