BRUTAL WESTERN THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER #1 FROM BRIAN AZZARELLO & EDUARDO RISSO BLAZES OFF SHELVES, SELLS OUT AT DISTRIBUTOR LEVEL

NEW YORK, NY – May 13, 2024 – DSTLRY, the next-generation publisher redefining creator-owned comic books and collectibles, proudly announces the rapid sellout of THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER #1 from the legendary creative team of Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets, Batman) at the distributor level. Following the sell out of Spectregraph #1 by James Tynion IV and Christian Ward, THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER made its welcome debut last week in comic book shops, following a wave of glowing early reviews and months of fervent fan anticipation. 

While DSTLRY distribution partners Diamond Comic Distributors and Lunar Distribution have exhausted their inventories, enthusiastic readers can still find copies of THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER #1 at their local comic shops, as well as with exclusive covers through dstlry.co. THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER follows three children who set off across the wild Texas frontier to rescue their mother—kidnapped by ruthless outlaws who gunned down their preacher father. Throughout their journey, they'll face the harsh elements of an unforgiving landscape, deadly animals hungry for blood, merciless bounty hunters and so much more...all in a relentless quest to rescue their family.

"I'm very happy with both the response we've gotten and that BBM has a home at DSTLRY. This is an uncompromising story that Eduardo and I have wanted to tell for a while,” writer Brian Azzarello explains. “Figures the new kid on the block would have the cajones to publish it."

“Contrasting the violence of the old American West with the landscape’s natural beauty was a challenging task, but I’m happy to see that retailers and readers have gotten to experience Brian’s and my vision,” continued artist Eduardo Risso. 

Spinning out of Azzarello & Risso’s 6-page story “Deleted Scene, #2” from DSTLRY’s debut release, The Devil’s Cut, THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER is edited by industry legend Will Dennis (Snow Angels, Y: The Last Man). 

“Given their prolific history, it means a lot to say that THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER is our favorite creation from Azzarello & Risso,” said DSTLRY co-founders Chip Mosher and David Steinberger in a joint statement. “It’s the effort of two masters working in complete harmony.”
