Media Release -- With LEGO NINJAGO® making Time to Play Magazine's 2011 "Most Wanted" toy list, the popularity of the toy is directly translating to an extraordinarily high demand for the debut of the LEGO NINJAGO® graphic novel series published by Papercutz. LEGO® NINJAG #1 "The Challenge of Samukai!" ($6.99, ages 6+) has experienced record demand this holiday season and Papercutz has responded with an unprecedented 190,000 copy first print run.
Media Release -- Last May, Papercutz, the graphic novel publisher of GERONIMO STILTON, THE SMURFS, BIONICLE®, and DISNEY FAIRIES, announced that its newest series of licensed graphic novels would be based on the red-hot toy line LEGO NINJAGO. Three short months later, Terry Nantier, the publisher of the Papercutz, details that pre-orders for the first LEGO NINJAGO graphic novel, LEGO NINJAGO #1: The Challenge of Samurkai ($6.99) "are the strongest we've ever seen." So strong in fact, that the pre-orders top 150,000 copies. This is a record-breaking achievement for Papercutz.
