PrintWatch: Batman #142, published today by DC Comics, is already sold out and going to a second printing. Copies of the first printing are, of course, available at local comic shops while supplies last. How do we know? Well…

Giuseppe Camuncoli posted to Instagram: "Batman 142 (the first part of Joker Year One), released today, is already sold out and is going for a second print with this cover! 1st print copies might still be available at your local comic book shop while supplies last.⁣ Thanks to the whole JYO team for such an incredible debut!"

Stefano Nesiposted to Instagram "Guys! Today Batman #142 came out, and it's already SOLD OUT!! You should buy the remaining copies in your local comic book shop, but don't fear, you will find a second print with this cover (witch is amazing btw) Inside you will find: Script by #chipzdarsky Art by @giuseppe_camuncoli and @andreasorrentinoart Ink by me (only the part drawn by Giuseppe) Colors by @alejandro_sanchez_colorist and @dragonmnky"

Alejandro Sanchez posted to Instagram "GREAT NEWS‼️Batman 142 (Joker year one) SOLD OUT in the first day!!! Going for a second print! Congrats to the rest of the team and Thanks everyone for your support!!"

So that's confirmation. And all using the Camuncoli foil cover for their post, so one might hazard a guiess it will be reused without the foil for the second printing…

But what did Chip Zdarsky say about it? Nothing on Instagram but on his newsletter… "Look, I want to be clear up front: I don't endorse his crimes!!!!!! But I do like The Joker. Much like Batman, he's a very malleable character and there are a lot of fun takes on him across all media. So I always knew I'd want to take a stab at a proper Joker story during my run. And this is it!"
