For Immediate Release
THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME #1 SECOND PRINTING TO HIT SHELVES ALONGSIDE
#2
January 26th, Los Angeles – Retailers and fans who missed The Last Days of
American Crime #1 the first time around now have a second chance to pick up
the newest critically acclaimed title from Rick Remender (Punisher, Fear
Agent). Radical Publishing is pleased and proud to announce that the second
printing of Remender's newest sold-out crime masterpiece, featuring series
artist Greg Tocchini (Marvel 1602: New World), will be hitting shelves again
alongside the highly anticipated second issue.
The Last Days of American Crime takes place in the not-too-distant future,
where the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it
impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts as a final response
to terrorism and crime. To keep this from the public, the government creates
a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards.
Graham Bricke, a career criminal never quite able to hit the big score,
intends to steal one of the charging stations, skip the country and live off
unlimited funds for the rest of his life. But the media has leaked news of
the anti-crime signal one week before it was to go live... and now Graham
and his team have just a few days to turn the heist of the century into the
last crime in American history.
Critics and fans have raved over The Last Days of American Crime #1.
"From cover art to opening pages, Last Days hits readers with an unflinching
dose of pulp noir seediness and doesn't let up." – John Geddes, USAToday.com
"…because there are no new stories, writers must perform a magic act in
order to make the reader believe he is reading something new. Well, someone
get Rick Remender a top hat and a wand because he accomplishes it in the
down and dirty Last Days of American Crime. By infusing a classic noir heist
with the tension of modern American politics, Remender gives us a great
opening to a comic series – perhaps even on the level of Criminal or 100
Bullets." – Andy Bentley, IGN Comics
"The Last Days of American Crime" #1 is a good first issue that sets up the
world and the crime at hand well. If you enjoy "Criminal" and other crimes
books, you'll probably get a kick out of this." – Chad Nevitt, Comic Book
Resources
"Remender paces this first act with just enough information, bravado, and
grizzled noir to keep a hungry reader satisfied." – Noel Bartocci, Broken
Frontier
"This is crime fiction at its best. Remender totally immerses you in their
world, and it's a hell of a ride." – Sebastian Piccione, Project Fanboy
