Marvel is pleased to announce that the hottest new release of the year,
S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, has sold out for a second time at Diamond (though
copies may still be available at the retail level) and will return with

writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Dustin Weaver deliver one of the most
groundbreaking and acclaimed comics of the decade! At long last, the
secret history of the Marvel Universe is revealed! Long before the
Avengers were battling evil, the planet was under the protection of
S.H.I.E.L.D.!

"[I]t's outlandish, absurd, inspired and freaking awesome. This is my
type of comic book." - Dan Phillips, IGN.com

"Dustin Weaver certainly turns in some impressive designs, including an
astonishing view of the underground city, a bevy of crazy costumes that
all seem to involve giant helmets, and a ton of crazy technology from
different eras." - Matthew J. Brady, ComicsBulletin.com

"Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver (and colorist Christina Strain, who
really shines on the issue) come together to give us an intriguing
prelude to what promises to be a very interesting series..." - Brian
Cronin, ComicBookResources.com

"S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 is an epic read that stands firm against mediocrity and
slays it with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm. With gorgeous art
and near-lyrical writing that cuts to the secret heart of the Marvel
Universe, this is an opening issue that really does deserve all the
hype." - David Pepose, Newsarama.com

Marvel urges retailers to keep their eyes peeled for upcoming
S.H.I.E.L.D. issues as the first issue continues draw praise and fans
are on the edge of their seats waiting for more! Who was the first to

James,

Let's get the solicit for #2 at the bottom with Diamond Code etc.

We should punch up the title-something that makes it seem like this is a
huge deal.
