Hammerfist #1 gets a third printing as issue #2 approaches

Image Comics says the debut has sold out again at distributor level; its third printing is due October 21 while issue two reaches shops September 30.

Image Comics says Hammerfist #1 has sold out again at the distributor level and is being sent back for a third printing. According to the publisher's September 24 announcement, the third printing is scheduled for comic shops on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 . Distributor sell-out does not establish that every retailer

has sold its copies. The next issue arrives first Hammerfist #2 is scheduled for September 30 , with covers by Steve Epting, Michael Kaluta and Brett Parson. The series is written by Rick Remender with art by Epting. Its crime and supernatural-horror premise follows Mike Denton, a hitman forced to confront an ancient

darkness and his responsibilities to his daughter. What to check at a shop Readers seeking issue one should ask a comic shop which printing it can obtain. The newly announced third printing has a distinct ordering code in Image's release, while existing stock of earlier printings may vary by store. The October 21 date

is a planned shop availability date rather than a guarantee for every location. Mythscribe previously covered the separate Hammerfist #2 release listing; the new development here is the publisher's third-printing decision for issue one.
