May 6, 2005, Runnemede, NJ – The Dynamite Monsters first crossover shipped into stores just this last week, and Dynamite Entertainment is pleased to announce that the first issue of the Monster War (FEB05 1646 ) cross-over with Top Cow Productions has been met with a warm reception from the fans.
“Well, we just got word that the first issue is sold-out from Diamond late Friday afternoon, and while there may be some copies available at the retail level, we imagine they’re going fast as well,” explained Dynamite Spokesperson J. Allen. “We have no plans to reprint #1 at this time.”
