Image Comics has second and third prints for Bug Wars, We're Taking Everyone Down With Us and Lost Fantasy.

• BUG WARS #1 (OF 6) 3RD PTG (MR)
• BUG WARS #3 (OF 6) 2ND PTG (MR)

"Inventory of Bug Wars at the distributor level dropped like flies last week when fans made a beeline to comic shops to pick up the latest issue of the buzzy new series. Image Comics will rush Jason Aaron (Southern Bastards, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Absolute Superman) and Mahmud Asrar's (Conan the Barbarian, X-Men, Batman & Robin) Bug Wars #1 and Bug Wars #3 back to print in order to keep up with the steadily multiplying reorder activity. "It is a delight to see the interest in our little book," said Asrar. "We feel rewarded for our efforts and we're only beginning! Eager to share further adventures in the Bug Wars world with you." Aaron added: "Bug Wars is a fantasy saga years in the making, set in a world that Mahmud and I hope to continue to explore for many years to come. Thank you to the growing swarm of Bug Warriors out there for continuing to push this series to sell-out status. The war for the Yard for only begun." Bug Wars follows Slade Slaymaker, a kid from Alabama suddenly lost in a vicious world beyond his imagination, a world of marauding ant armies, spellcasting spider witches, and beetle-riding barbarians. A kingdom of tiny but deadly warriors hidden in his own backyard. The same world that saw his father eaten alive by insects now plunges young Slade into the middle of a brutal Bug War to decide the fate of his family."

• LOST FANTASY #1 2ND PTG

"The highly-praised debut issue of the new JRPG-inspired ongoing fantasy-horror series Lost  Fantasy—by bestselling writer Curt Pires (Indigo Children) and star artist Luca Casalanguida (Money)—has sold out completely at the distributor level and is leveling up with a second printing. Image Comics is rushing the first issue back to print this week—unlocking a new version of the Final Fantasy VII homage cover by artist Alex Diotto—in order to keep up with the heightened demand. "I'm thrilled and grateful for the amazing response to Lost Fantasy as we head back for a second printing only hours into the release of issue #1," said Pires. "With Lost Fantasy, I'm committed to creating the ultimate ongoing Image Comics series—one that can sit alongside classics like Saga, Invincible, and East Of West. And thanks to the support of our amazing readers and retailer partners, we're well on our way. This is just the first of the new wave of top-tier projects that my collaborators and I are cooking up with Image. The future is bright." In Lost Fantasy, there's a magical world that lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But last night, something broke through, resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Now it's up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop it… The giant-sized comics also feature a serialized backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus, that continues Pires' hit sci-fi series Indigo Children. The series features an homage variant cover series (Cover B of each issue) that is illustrated by Diotto, which pays tribute to iconic video games, manga, and stories that have influenced the series, including not only Final Fantasy VII, but also Berserk, Devil May Cry, and more to be revealed soon."
