Crowbound #1 is getting a second printing on September 30, Image Comics announced a day after its September 2 debut. The publisher says the first printing sold out at distributor level. That distinction matters: individual comic shops may still have copies. A distributor sellout does not mean every retail copy has

disappeared. Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen’s dark-fantasy series follows Rose, a mother living in the shadow of an enormous Factory. When her daughter is taken earlier than expected, Rose confronts the forces controlling their world. The reprint will have two Nguyen covers: a new illustration and a version of the

original cover without its trade dress. Issue two follows October 7. For readers who missed the opening issue, the reprint provides another physical entry point before the next chapter. Image also lists digital availability, so there is no need to assume a scarce first printing is the only way to read the story. Read
