DWELLINGS #1 Covers A and D are being allocated due to a 127% increase in FOC activity, and the issue is receiving a 2nd and 3rd printing.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- Due to an unprecedented 127% increase in orders following last Monday's Final Order Cut-Off for Oni Press' DWELLINGS #1 (of 3), Oni Press is advising retailers that quantities of DWELLINGS #1 COVER A by creator Jay Stephens and COVER D by artist Brian Level will be allocated up to 10% at the distributor level.
All orders placed for DWELLINGS #1 COVER B (Joe Palmer Variant), COVER C (Jenna Cha Variant), and 1:10 incentive (Jay Stephens "Bloody Variant") will be unaffected by the allocation. Retailers who initially qualified for DWELLINGS #1 1:10 incentive (Jay Stephens "Bloody Variant") will still receive their incentives as planned, irrespective of any Cover A or Cover D allocations.
Additionally, extra quantities of the COVER B by artist Joe Palmer and COVER C by artist Jenna Cha are available for immediate re-order, alongside a new SECOND PRINTING VARIANT by creator Jay Stephens with adequate supply to cover any outstanding Cover A and Cover D units withheld due to allocation.
Oni will also be offering a new DWELLINGS #1 THIRD PRINTING VARIANT for FOC on August 7, 2023, which will arrive in stores on September 6, 2023 – in advance of DWELLINGS #2's bi-monthly October release.
Oni Press has also proactively placed DWELLINGS #2 (shipping in October) and DWELLINGS #3 (shipping in December) on a longer, 30-day FOC to prevent any future allocations in the future.
"Since day one, we've been committed to keeping DWELLINGS in print on a bi-monthly schedule, so it could find its audience and organically grow a following for its unique strain of nostalgia-slashing horror. But truth be told: Neither Oni or creator Jay Stephens ever imagined it would happen with this much velocity or force. We're incredibly grateful for the show of support that Direct Market retailers have put behind this series and will be taking all measures necessary to make sure we can meet demand for this weird and wonderful book that is truly unlike anything else on stands," said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson.
