I understand that Image Comics titles America's Got Powers #1, Danger Club #1, Secret #1, Hell Yeah #2, Bloodstrike #26, Supreme #63, Darkness #101, Saga #2, Thief Of Thieves #3 and Manhattan Projects #2 have all sold out before publication, and will see second prints running through April and May.

They join other recently announced sell outs and second and third prints for the likes of Invincible #89, Fatale #3, Peter Panzerfaust #2, Prophet #23, Glory #24, Thief Of Thieves #2, Hell Yeah #1, Rebel Blood #1, The Manhattan Projects #1 and Saga #1 – the latter two have gone to third print, with Saga #1 second print being significantly allocated as a result if increasing demand.

What this means is that retailers are stil ordering incredibly conservatively, even for what seems to be proven Image Comics launches from recognised names. But also that the market seems to be turning to favour Image at the moment, with books disappearing from shelves faster than even – if they even reach the shelves in the first place.

In a world dominated by Avengers Vs X-Men and Before Watchmen, this is a positive sign for the maintenance of a greater diversity of work in the comics industry. And Image Comics reaping the rewards of the books they have sown.
