Media Release -- After just one week in stores, BORDER TOWN #1, the debut issue of the new Vertigo series, is sold out at DC and is now slated to return in a new, second printing!

This new printing will reprint the first issue by writer Eric M. Esquivel and art by Ramon Villalobos, with a recolored version of the original cover by Villalobos.

Here's what critics are saying about BORDER TOWN:

"In 22 pages, BORDER TOWN shows that its creators know how to get from a bunch of big ideas to a story that makes you want to turn pages until you find one that you just can't look away from. And it's the best #1 comic to come out this week."
--POLYGON

"BORDER TOWN may be the most sharply satirical work that Vertigo Comics has published since PREACHER."
--SCREENRANT

"Edgy, timely, and dark, BORDER TOWN is exactly what you think it is, but also a complete surprise. It hits all the right notes, from Eric M. Esquivel's razor-sharp script to Ramon Villalobos' Frank Quietly-inspired artwork. It's grisly and mean, with a heavy political commentary all wrapped up in a mythological package." --NERDIST

"BORDER TOWN excels by rooting itself in politics and identity, giving teens their own voice." --AV CLUB

"One of the best new comics of 2018, with an entirely earned sense of bravado." --COMICBOOK

In this issue, when a crack in the border between worlds releases an army of monsters from Mexican folklore, the residents of Devil's Fork, AZ, blame the ensuing weirdness-the shared nightmares, the otherworldly radio transmissions, the mysterious goat mutilations-on "God-dang illegals." With racial tensions supernaturally charged, it's up to new kid in town Frank Dominguez and a motley crew of high school misfits to discover what's reallygoing on in this town torn between worlds.
