Siege_02_SecondPrintingVariantMarvel is pleased to announce Siege #2 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at retail level) and will return with Siege #2 Second Printing Variant! The superstar creative team of award winning writer Brian Michael Bendis and acclaimed artist Olivier Coipel bring readers to the next chapter of the event seven years in the making! As Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers continue the relentless attack on the floating city of Asgard, an Avenger’s life is taken! If you didn’t get a chance to pick up the first sold out printing, Siege #2 Second Printing Variant is your chance to get back in the game!

Critics and fans agree—Siege is a hit!

“If the first issue of Siege didn’t make it clear that this was an event that would shoot first and ask questions later, then issue two drives that point home with the power of a million exploding suns.” – Tim Lenaghan, IGN.com

“The story is tight, fast and doesn’t waste a page, and with the fantastic art of Olivier Coipel, Siege reads like a barrage of superhero awesomeness.” – Chris Smits, Mania.com

“[I]t sure looks great, with Olivier Coipel providing the best work of his career…” – Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.com

“Bendis and Coipel each excel in their craft, with Coipel constructing every line to exacting detail, and Bendis showing remarkable restraint and haste.” – George Marston, Newsarama.com

Plus, don’t miss exclusive SIEGE high quality prints available at the Marvel Print Store (http://prints.marvel.com) from superstar artists such as Marko Djurdjevic, Simone Bianchi, Billy Tan and more!

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Siege as the series and all its tie-ins have sold out at Diamond! The Marvel U is on the road to The Heroic Age, but how many must fall before this new age dawns?! Find out in Siege #2 Second Printing Variant!

Siege: The Cabal Second Printing Variant, from the red-hot creative team of Siege mastermind Brian Michael Bendis and acclaimed artist Michael Lark, presents the battle you demanded—Norman Osborn versus Doctor Doom! As two of the most powerful villains in the Marvel Universe come to blows, what does this mean for the future of every hero? Siege: The Cabal Second Printing Variant features the stunning interior of art of Lark on the cover and arrives in stores the same day as Siege #1!

“It’s a good way to kick things off”—Chad Nevett, ComicBookResources.Com

“Lark and Gaudiano do an excellent job bringing a high level of realism to the proceedings without losing the element of the fantastic that is necessary.”—Paul Brian McCoy, ComicsBulletin.Com
